Default Christmas came early ...

I'm so excited. My husband surprised me with the Canon 24-70 mm lense today ... much nicer than jewelry!

"Wear" it in good health! It's great when we have spouses or loved ones who really "get" what we like. My dh was set to be a jewelry buyer but now he knows..Macbooks are cheaper and make me happier.

LOL I'm thinking.... it was one thing when Carol posted that it was better than jewelry but when the rest of us agreed with her this became a very funny thread :-) Do you think we need therapy? I can see us all being dragged onto the Oprah show to be analyzed by Dr Phil :-)
