Mom's Christmas List

Dad says the kids are all mad that I have asked all of you for a Christmas list but have not given one to you all.
So here goes:
I told Erin I'd like to have kitchen towels/wash cloths
I told Robin I'd like to have Sue Grafton's new book if its out
Miniature crock pot for heating cheese dip
White mock turtle neck (medium)
Pajamas (medium)
Queen size sheets
Under the Counter Coffee Pot w/automatic shut off, programable clock/timer
(Walmart has a Black and Decker Spacesaver for 44.00)
Ice Bucket

These are just ideas. I will not be upset if I don't get any of them.
That's all I can think of right now.
Love ya
Mom/Judy

Dad's Christmas List

OK, you all can stop bugging me.

In no specific order here are a few ideas of things I would like to see under the tree, especially the last two listed:

The new Eric Clapton album

Sears 16pc Punch, Chisel, and Alignment set – on sale now thru Dec 9 $29.99

Sears 4 LED hat $13.99

Retractable Air Hose Reel (told Judy about one in Sears for $39) with 50 feet of hose.

Black and Decker 25’ powered tape measure $19.99 though Dec 9.

Craftsman Professional Lithium Ion Cordless 3 Pc Combo with bag, $369.99 thru Dec 9. (I don’t need this, but would be way cool to own)

Western Digital 250 Gb IDE Hard Drive ($84) for my computer Tiger Direct has them Link

DVD Burner – Sony DRU820A Multi-Drive ($49) Tiger Direct has them Link

Wireless Mouse – At PX

3 Cell Mag light ($18 PX) (Erin I know you bought me one before, but I need another one so I can leave the one you bought me in the Garage for Garage use, and have one in the house for house use. I use the one I have all the time to let Baby out at night)

Another Bottle jack like Erin got me last time from Wal-Mart. One for each side of the car.

74 piece Home Project Tool Set w/cordless screwdriver. At Wal-mart for $20. This is for RV. Has case, and bunch of hand tools so I don’t have to strip my garage when we go on trips.

Oh, Wal-Mart also has a Ultra Steel Household Tool set for $19.88 that is acceptable, but it didn’t have a cordless screwdriver.

Underwear

Golf Balls (not the expensive boxes, the cheapo sacks from Wal-Mart/PX that have used balls for sale. I lose too many to get nice ones)

New Calloway or Taylor Made Driver in Mega size head.

UofL putter cover. I lost the one BJ gave me a few years back.

UofL head covers for my 3 and 5 woods.

UofL base ball cap. Not too gaudy

UofL sweat shirt, in black. I have one, that says “Louisville” in gold letters, but would like one with a Cardinal logo.

White socks over the ankle (not the shorty kind, I have loads of them)

Fleece cap UofL. Prefer Black cause I have a red wool UofL watch cap.

Gloves, driving

Photo Shop Software

Nikon D80 SLR w/18-200 f/3.5-5.6GED-IF AF-S DX VR II Autofocus lens $1519 from Express Cameras (Link). Look for the Nikon D80 w/Gold package.

BMW R1200RT in Red, Silver or black Approximately $17K and BMW of Louisville

While this list is not all inclusive, it will give you all an idea of what I would like.

Happy Shopping
Your loving dad or husband as the case may be.

Edit: (by B.J.) I've got the R1200RT covered, so you guys can get him the rest. :)
