I need to go see Santa.

Okay. That's it. I'm in love. First off, I switched from Internet Explorer 9 to Google Chrome for all my web needs about 8 or 9 months ago and I will never leave Chrome. I am a huge Google fan and think that it is the best thing for working on the web. Well, I caught the end of a commercial the other day so I had to go check it out. I "googled" it of course. 

It is called the Google Chrome Book and I want one...really, really, really bad. The only ones I found are Acer and Samsung right now. But oh, I'm in love. 


It has an Intel® Core™ Processor with 2 GB DDR3 RAM 320 GB Hard Drive - 5400 RPM. Weighs 3 lbs. and is just 11". It has built in ethernet and wi-fi. Three USB ports as well as an SD card reader slot. It has Google Chrome Operating System and is geared toward using applications that reside on the web instead of on the machine itself. It boots up in 20 seconds. Wow! And the best part is the cost is only $199.00! It even comes with its own carrying case.

Then when I was at Target recently with a friend, I saw this little camera. It is smaller than a smart phone and only weighs 3 oz. I love it. It is on sell $80 off right now, making it $99. It is a 10mp with all kinds of neat settings. I am going to have to keep this in mind. It actually fits right in the palm of your hand. I lost my Canon and have been using my cell phone as a camera for months.


I also saw the perfect sewing machine for me. It is about 1/2 the size of a full size machine and said it was perfect for hemming, mending and crafting. Which is exactly what I want one for. And at $59.00 for a Singer, I think it is a good buy.


My vacuum cleaner is not working well. We have cleaned all the filters, checked all the settings and it still picks up, but not like it used to. We've had it about 16 years so I guess we are due a new one. I am thinking about a canister one, but not sure. Does anybody have any thoughts? I don't want to spend an arm and a leg on a vacuum cleaner.


But Hubby doesn't think appliances make good Christmas presents so I found him some ideas. I love this sweater. It would be perfect for those times when it is too cold to go without a coat but a coat is too bulky. I really like this neutral color as well. 


Don't laugh, but I love the gift sets everybody puts out at Christmas. And my favorite soap of all time is Dove. I need to tell Hubby about this. Things like this just thrill me at Christmas. I'm a simple person and very easy to please.


Do you remember how much I love nesting dolls? Target has a nesting salt and pepper shaker and a nesting measuring cup set. How cute are these?


Yes, I think I need to visit Santa...and maybe even Cupid and the Easter Bunny as backups.

I have an up-right vacuum cleaner and it gets harder to push as I get "older" I am also thinking about a canister one.

The sweater is beautiful.
