This Christmas officially sucked. I only raked in $350 in cash, some stuff I'll probably never use, an MP3 player that was probably $150 (but it totally rocks)
C'mon people, I need to go to college and buy bike schwag!

My wife gave me the green light on a power meter, but we have plenty of other things to use the money for. I am keeping the LiveStrong jersey and socks. Really lucky to have such an awesome wife, although she didn't go for the bike shop setup posted earlier.

I bought it for myself. Of course. eBay. Used. 1/2 the price the LBS wanted for it new. Two years old. Perfect condition. New batteries and it works perfectly. Looks cool too. Zipps RULE. PowerTap RULES.
That is all.

No, I've been bad. VERY bad. Blonduathlongrl has to punish me now.
She can whip me with the PowerTap HR Monitor strap while simultaneously gnawing at the suspenders of my racing bib with her teeth.
I don't perpetuate sexual harassment @ my company, I can only do it here.

I made out like a bandit!!!!!!!!!!!!
I got a Selle Italia SLK Gel Flow Saddle, a couple Topeak frame pumps, Speedplay Frog pedals, and two jerseys. The jerseys are funny, one has Poseur, and the other has Republic of Anaerobia. They are funny, but they are gorgeous. I like tongue in cheek humor anyway.
I've been working on paying off a mountain bike I've had in layaway at my LBS. So after working a whole lot of overtime this month, I should be able to get it tomorrow. Sort of a belated present for myself.
Take care everyone,
Ray

+1. I bought three used 404's for myself - two rear, one front. Other than that I got a Spinervals 14.0 DVD, some red Adidas shoes I've been wanting, a really nice Cuisinart grill and some Under Armour workout gear.

This is the first year biking, well 7 months. I got a park tool I didn't know it came with a chain break tool so that made me a little bit excited. I got brushes and a bike stand, one of the $30 ones that does the trick not the spendy ones. I also got a pump for both kinds of valves :-). A battery recharger that recharges batteries in 15 mins!! Needed it for my numerous lights. I also got an unexpected gift which was a camelbak :-) I was going to get one in may but now that I got one I'm falling in love with it! Merry Christmas to everyone and I hope all of your christmases were as good as mine. I am beginning to appreceate everything though, I am happy to have food in my stomach, roof over my head and clothes on my back. I think of life this way when I'm having a bad day, there is always someone who is worse off.

She gave the thumbs up to build a home workshop on the back of our new house and the contractors finished it last Saturday just in time for me to get it somewhat set up in time for Christmas. Tonight she handed me an envelope with a $500 certificate to use towards a paint job for the Colnago resto I'm working on(it's the white Arabesque hanging beside the Merckx). She's the absolute best and is obviously very supportive of my "habit".
