I got three 75g tanks, one 65g tank, all the stuff that goes with it, including money to buy the fish, the entire Baensch freshwater set including the Aquarium Photo Atlas and Fossil Atlas, and a couple of books on Rainbowfish.

My husband got the new Lego Death Star (3400+ pieces! That'll keep him busy for a week or two : ), two books (he's a big WWII military buff) : Achtung - Panzer! by Heinz Guderian and Panzer Leader by B. H. Liddell Hart, and an authentic WWII German Iron Cross 2nd Class Bravery medal.

I got diamond earrings: that is what hubby decided was my "fun" present.

I also got Sam's club member's mark brand triple ply stainless steel pans...oh wow are they wonderful!! Consumer reports rates them best buy in the high end stainless steel pan race. I threw away my nasty non-stick cookware skillets, they weren't fit for human use. Hamburgers don't stick...pork chops brown and don't stick. things cook evenly..oohhaaaa I'm in heaven. When you use non-stick you can't properly deglaze the frying pans, and you fon't get the quality of pan drippings like you do with stainless.

Also got the meat grinder accesssory for my kitchen aid mixer, and an extra steel bowl and covers. Yep..I like the good kitchen toys. I could to a Kitchen Aid commerical in my kitchen. The 6 quart mixer hubby gave me 3~4 years ago is still one of my favorite toys. I had to remodel the kitchen for it. To watch it whip cream is something to behold. I still sit there and go woooo.

My kids gave me a gift certificate to my favorite LFS, and I got $$ from parents and in-laws. My mother in law also got me a set of antique bubble lights...cool! She says she has a color wheel from the old aluminum tree..I need to find a tree!!

I got a couple of gift certificates to a few different lfs...promptly went out and bought a 15gallon for under my 20long ram tank....it's housing my 3 stappersi shell dwellers at present.

A VERY nice Sony "Super Steady Shot" 5.1 mega Pixel camera with optical lense !! Now all I have to do is figure out how to USE it !!

From my dad i got my land taxes paid. My mom got me Need for speed most wanted. And my brother just got my drunk for 5 night in arow :devil:

Set of tires. Now I dont powerslide through every turn. More safe, but much less exciting.

Aftermarket foglights. Now I can see at night, but they're so powerful that they actually dim my gauge lights when the car is idling, so they're only on when I need them.

A 20g high set-up and a 2.5 for my betta.

Nursie, sounds like we have something else in common besides fish and Central IL. I love to cook also.
