    What Did Santa Get YOU?

    Well today has been an awesome day..... My parents tossed a major curve ball on me........ They bought a XTi and stuff at Best Buy but I guess they returned it to screw with me but kept a copy of the receipt around none the less and left it out knowing I would see it.... well I have been all juiced up about getting this camera now for a few weeks as Ron, Tom, Justin, Joey and Josh can attest to and today I got the Sony a100k image stableizing 10.2 megapixel camera with a 18-70 lense a tripod and a bunch of other very nice goodies..... I have a big family BTW and it looks like you will start to see many more of my shots on a.net soon...... How about everyone else?

    I'm drooling right now over my TWA and UAL 747s right now. My two babies! I love my UAL Heavies and TWA well just speaks for itself! I also got a wheeled Travel Pro laptop case which my shoulder from running through airports is very thankful for.

    A couple of weeks ago after an incident while shooting at Albany, a friend dubbed me with the nickname "photo-terrorist." Now I have a new weapon of mass destruction...Black Rebel XT with the kit 18-55 lens and two 512 cards :D :D :D Now I can finally get away from film! Since im off from work tomorrow, I'll be driving around the Island breaking it in...
    Shoot first, ask questions later.

    Nice stuff, everyone...Tommy, I love that TWA 747. And I hope to see everyone out with their new cameras real soon.

    I got the usual stuff, some clothes, a calendar, a couple of DVDs...oh, and one of the best presents I've gotten in a long time, a gift certificate for a stock car driving session at Pocono Raceway :D

    Well.. I got a load of cash to get my XTi ($300), a new cell phone and plan, and some other random stuff.

    Nice InFlight models, I always feel InFlight makes the best large scale models (I.E. 1:200 and up)

    I was going to ask for this:



    But I opted for the money instead, this was the only decent DC-9 model that wasn't a 1:400 or 1:500 (I only really buy 1:200's and up)
    nwa FOREVER!

    I got:

    *A super soft bathrobe
    *A Hawaiian 767 model (in 500 scale, so I'm pretending it's a 737 among my 400 scale models ;))
    *PJs with stars all over them
    *Yahtzee (yes, the game....yes, I'm an old lady)
    *Body Shop Holiday gift set - cranberry - yummmmy
    *Godiva chocolates and truffles from various folks
    *Scarf
    *Voltaic solar powered backpack (check it out: http://www.voltaicsystems.com)
    *Kitchen stuff for the new place (including a microwave!)
    *Hoops and Yoyo plush things - you wouldn't even begin to understand.
    *Gift Cards to Sephora, Target (x3), Amex, my Nail Salon, The Body Shop.
    *Some random cash.
    *Eggplant parm to-go from Phil's mom....trust me, this was probably the best gift of them all. Don't be jealous. :lol:
