....this, this, this and this!

*I got this lens a about 2 months ago and it is everything that I could have hoped for. It is a Canon 24-105 f/4 L IS USM. It was not exactly cheap but I could not be happier with my purchase.

*This may just be the best water bottle yet fabricated. I like ice in my water. When I drink out of a Nalgene I get ice face--the hole is too big. I love my Camel Back water bottle but in my venture to drink more water a day a straw does not prove the best method. This Contigo is the answer...I love it. You can get a three pack of them at your local Costco right now. I highly recommend it.

*I do not have an auxiliary port in my car and trying to get my ipod adapter that ran through my radio to not be staticky proved difficult. Now, I can listen to my ipod directly through my stereo, charge it while I listen, and skip through songs on my stereo face! Lovin' it!

*My siblings in all of their wisdom got me a unicycle for my birthday. You would think to get a unicycle you would need to ask for something this specific for someone to even think of getting it for you. Nope I didn't-- they know me just that well--- I love it! (I will admit it proves much harder than one would think)
