Lust

iPad
It is so pretty. I don't think I will get one. I can't really see using it that much. I think a netbook would be more useful for using while sitting on the couch watching tv and playing on the internet. Still... so pretty...

The wi-fi only kindle
The kindle has finally gotten down to a price where I could see buying it just to use for the classics of which Zach and I read quite often. Though I am sure it wouldn't take long until I broke down and bought books. Zach and I would share this.

(Yes, snurri, I have read your posts about the evilness of amazon.com but this is *lust*!)

A Power Nozzle for my vacuum
I have three cats. They shed a lot and there is a fine coating of cat hair on everything I own.

A netbook
So I can check my email without getting off the couch. I am lazy.

A Canning Kit
For pickle making. Mmm... pickles. Actually, this was cheaper at Walmart. Yes, I went to Walmart on a date with my boyfriend. It was fun. You can get Tastykakes there.

I have a similar list. A netbook like whoa - because I think it would be awesome for taking notes in class. I spent like two hours cleaning out my vacuum trying to make it suck like it used to (that's what she said) to no avail. And something about that kindle is seeming more and more attractive. Especially since now you can rent eBooks from the library.

What sort of vacuum do you have? I decided not to get a bagless vacuum because I didn't want to have to clean it out and sneeze alot. However, the canister one I bought was expensive and didn't come with the power attachment. However, it is pretty awesome even without it.

Yeah, at $139 I think the kindle is something I will actually purchase opposed to just lusting after. Do you know if renting books from the library works with the kindle? Because if you can I am sold.

I have an older Oreck - inherited but has worked pretty well until recently.

As for the library - they have eBooks - which are not natively compatible. But I have a girlfriend who has learned to successfully convert them for use on her Kindle. I could get more info from her, if you like.

ETA: Sounds like she uses a series of Python scripts to remove the DRM and would be willing to share them.
