Jan Got an iPhone
Posted on January 28, 2008 by Ching under Toys, Wishlist.
Jan got an iPhone on Sunday. I am so jealous. I have wanted one for a long time now. Just couldn’t justify paying $600. Even now at $400 I still think that is too much. Specially for a phone that I still have to hack. I’m pretty satisfied with my T-Mobile rate plan and don’t feel like switching.
Anyway, we went to the AT&T store with her after brunch at the Good Egg. Not quite decided, we all went to Best Buy to check out the iPod Touch. Ultimately, the iPhone proved to be a better deal so Jan returned to the AT&T store to purchase the phone while Brian and I went check out this open house in College Hill. Brian got a ticket in the process. I don’t even want to talk about the ticket because it is so stupid. No, it’s not a speeding ticket. A speeding ticket would actually have been preferable, and probably even cheaper.
Went to check out the house, then stopped by mom’s open house (Tita Bev’s house at the Remington), and then went to Jan’s to check out her new iPhone. While there I got to watch a bit of Staying Alive (don’t ask) and a bit of Inside Man (interesting movie). Apparently, I need to catch up my 70s John Travolta movies.
Jan fixed us each a glass of pomegranate martinis except for Brian, of course. He had to drink sprite. [Note to self: It’s always five o’clock somewhere.] Here are some of the photos.. (more…)

Ching’s New Bag
Posted on January 4, 2008 by Ching under Toys, Wishlist.
I finally got my Sausalito Tote from Franklin Covey. It went on sale! Woo hoo! I love this time of year!
It took two gift cards Jenni (she gave me one for my birthday and then another for Christmas) and the gift card I got from my CSRs, and then fifteen dollars and change from Brian. After all that I got my bag. It is absolutely perfect. It is just like my black one on the inside. It’s got lots of compartments inside to help keep you organized.
Anyway, I thought I would share. Have a great weekend, everyone!

New Goodies
Posted on November 29, 2007 by Ching under Flickr, Wishlist.
I finally had the opportunity to spend my $40 Best Buy gift card (slap bracelet) that my in-laws got for me for my birthday. I got a Canon camera case for my new digital camera and a Gorillapod (so you all can scratch that off my wish list).
It used to be that the only Gorillapods available were for big, SLR-type cameras. I’m so glad that they now have a version for ultracompacts because it is awesome. I tried it out last night and you can literally hook it to any surface. I love it!
Incidentally, my gift card came in the form of a cool slap bracelet. When I tried to give it to the cashier, he looked at me kind of strangely. I had to explain that the slap bracelet IS my gift card. I guess he’d never seen them before.
Thank you so much Mom and Dad B!

Ching’s Christmas Wishlist
Posted on November 19, 2007 by Ching under Toys, Wishlist.
- Gorillapod for my new digital camera.
- iPhone. Thuy has one and it rocks. Now that it works with T-Mobile, there’s no reason not to get one. 🙂
- Rome. Seasons 1 and 2. I was really hooked on that show.
- Gap gift card. So I can buy me some new dress pants.
- Zappos or Shoes.com gift cards. I need some new work shoes.
- Franklin Covey gift card. Jenni got me one for my birthday. I just need to add a little bit more to it.
- Gift certificate to Beau Monde.
- Fossil Sedona handbag in cognac. I need a brown bag that is big enough to hold my stuff.
- Dress Smart
Women. Since our work dress code is fixing to get stricter, I need some wardrobe advice.
- Target gift card. I can usually find an inexpensive sweater or cardigan set there. Good for wearing to work and meeting the dress code while staying on budget.
- And world peace.
P.S. I will periodically add to this list as I think of stuff. Please be sure to keep checking back.

Brian’s Christmas Wishlist
Posted on November 11, 2007 by Ching under Toys, Wishlist.
Brian wants mostly power tools for Christmas. He says that he will be able to use these when we start our extensive home remodel. We found these at Target. I don’t know much about power tools but Brian thinks this is a bargain. One of the things we meant to put on his wishlist we ended up buying today. Brian has a plethora of things he wants, though. Here are some ideas to get you started.
As for me, you may refer back to my birthday wishlist for Christmas gift ideas. Omit the Catchphrase game, though, because I already have one. Many thanks to Cannady Girl! The Canon SD950 can be omitted also because Brian and I ended up getting me a Canon SD850 (similar but cheaper) for my birthday. We will continue to update our wishlists so if you need suggestions or ideas on what to get either of us for Christmas just check back here.
