SML and I aren't very good at getting presents for each other, mostly because I'm terrible at keeping secrets. Last week over dinner SML asked me what I thought about the Kindle and answered, "Humph, hosh, heeze, you knew that's what I was getting you for Christmas!"  The humph, hosh, and heeze bit mostly sounded like deep asthmatic breathing.

When it came time for SML to decide what he should get for me, and since I was already getting him the Kindle, he suggested a new camera; that new expensive and incredible camera I've been wanting.  I began the conversation saying, "Oh no, that's too expensive" and "I just want a red tea kettle", but then it quickly turned into, "We should probably get it now, this weekend, before we go to Europe.  And I should probably open it immediately after we get home to make sure it works." 

This camera came with a condition, however, and it's that I take a photography class.  I'm not sure whether or not to be offended by that.
