A-List Monday: I

You may remember An Apple a Day Monday? Well, that is so passe now. That was November. Now it's December and we are going to do A-List Monday! This Monday's list is: Xmas List! I decided to try and make it easy and do it on Pinterest, but people must think I am strange, as I am pinning some weird things (like undies) on my wishlist board. But this way my Mom, or any of you, will know what I want and can link right to it and buy it online, easy as pie! Here are a few ideas, plus for more you can see the entire list HERE.

1. Mesh Organizer Bags: These come in several sizes. I would like to ideally have one of each size. I love anything that helps me organize my home suitcase, and these bags would be great!

2. Three Oz containers and organizing bag. Again, since I travel so much, things like this are always a good thing to have. Also, I love that it also comes with it's own clear bag.



3. Slippers: I was never a slipper wearer, until this year when I used them at my parent's house. I like the kind with a good sole, because I tend to go outside in them. Also, they need to be small so I can put them in my suitcase! These ones look nice and cozy.

4. Camera Stuff: *macro extension tubes, which make it so you can take macro photos without buying an expensive macro lens *a case so I can throw my camera in my purse without hurting it

5. Undies. I wasn't kidding about the underwear. I love these Victoria Secret undies and they are 5/$25. My favorite styles? The boyshort, the hiphugger and the bikini.



6. A wrist wallet. Great for traveling or running. Fits a credit card, cash, a key.

7. Amazon Gift Card. Last but not least, this = BOOKS. Some people don't like giving gift cards, but I love them, especially now that I have a Kindle! This would not go to waste!

Speaking of gifts, Jess made a Holiday Shopping Guide for the Lady Runner, where you get discounts on fun running stuff! If you are a runner or know a runner, you may want to check this out! Or for food lovers there is Andrew's 20 Gift Ideas for Healthy Foodies. I am digging the Kitchenaid Mixer and the Le Creuset French Oven, but alas, I have no place to put either one!

Do you have any of these things? What do you think about them? What is on your Christmas wish list?

Das Boot

source
I don't buy a lot of "things". I usually spend my money on experiences such as travel or dinners out or events. However this week there must be some itch I am trying to scratch, because lordy, I hit the internet hard! So, instead of grabbing a beer and looking what I did this week (inspired by Kim), it's time to grab a beer and: Look What I Bought This Week. But first, a beverage.

Have you ever drank a tall boot full of beer? I have. If you ever go to NYC, go to the Heidelberg on 2nd Ave and get their 2 liter boot-full of beer. To get it, you have to put down a 60 dollar cash deposit. It's that good. I also recommend the Schweineshaxe, but you have to wait until dinner time to order it. It is completely worth it.

So, in honor of Oktoberfest, I give you: Das Boot.  Prost!
 
And now for the ridiculous stuff that I bought. 

**************

I bought a tent a few years ago and it took me forever to pick it out. I wanted to use it for a backpacking trip, which meant in had to be light (it's amazing what ONE extra lb will do). I was traveling with a friend so it had to fit two people, PLUS two backpacks. I bought a nice little 2 man tent from the REI outlet and it worked out well. However, my Dad borrowed it to go to the Grand Canyon and one of the poles broke. The good thing about REI is, they have a lifetime guarantee on a lot of their stuff. He took it back and got a refund for the full value put onto a gift card.

I didn't want to go through the whole tent buying thing again, but I got an email saying that all the camping gear at the outlet was half off, so I went and got this:

It's a three man tent with an extra door (which we needed before) and it cost less than the other one. The downside: it's 2 pounds heavier. That makes a HUGE difference when you have a sleeping bag and a stove AND the tent on your back! But I think it's worth it to be able to put your backpack INSIDE the tent if it rains! 

************

Next I bought a marathon. Yes, a marathon. And YES this counts as "stuff" to spend money on. I think I am in race hoarding mode lately. Since I have a limited (read: a suitcase) amount of space,  and am craving buying something, I am buying stuff that just doesn't take up as much space but still satisfies the purchasing urge. 


Now I just have to train. Hmmm... maybe I should have just bought a new pair of shoes instead. 

************

Speaking of shoes, I bought these: 



I have never tried Brooks before, but have heard good things. I just received them today and they are comfy for walking around the house but I have not tried them outside yet. I will keep you posted.

**************

Obviously I will be doing even more running now and since it is darker earlier and Lisa and I just discussed how sometimes people don't really know where or when you went running, it can be unsafe... I am all for "safety first", so I bought this. It goes on your shoe and has your info on it in case you get injured, since I usually carry little more than my iPod with me on runs. Obviously that is not my info.

*************

Okay, I guess that's it. It seemed like a lot since I bought everything in the same week! Here are a couple other things I want need (someday). Kate just bought a new camera and she keeps telling me about these things that are so handy and not too pricey!

This bounces the light so your flash is not so harsh. I think it's about 30 dollars as opposed to the hundreds that an external flash will cost you.

Lightscoop


This is a remote so I can take more photos of myself, naturally. 

Wireless remote

 This lens is very wide angle and is cheaper than many of the others.

The nifty fifty

Or any of these, really. (KIDDING!)

Speaking of camera gear, I thought it would be fun to get an underwater housing for my camera. I did a little research and...they are a "tad" over my price range. The CHEAPEST one...was $1400.

So maybe THIS is more my price range. $56 for a 5 MP Waterproof (up to 10 ft) Sharper Image P&S.

So, have you bought anything exciting this week? If not, what's on your wishlist?
