99% of the time, only antiques are allowed on my property. today, a brand spanking new object was purchased, brought home and has me totally in love/lust. mind you, it took a long time to close the deal. way too many to choose from. i want this puppy to last till i am carried feet first thru my front door - she cost a pretty penny. but when you consider how she makes me smile, looks so damn good, and functions to perfection, well, a pretty penny is relative.

thanks to the benefit of 2 good friends, she was tweaked and tested to perfection.

her dollar amount was in tow with another never noticed but not less wanted/needed device - putting the total credit charge in the "YIKES!" category. he is nothing to look at, trust me. will never register on the attractive meter. but his predecessor died months ago and i have drooled for a replacement. he is kinda like toilet paper - nothing to get excited about but, by god, when it's gone, you know it!!

what do you think they are? pictures tomorrow . . . .
