Birthday Gifts

Well the big day has come and gone and today I felt almost normal until I had some car problems (more on that later).
I didn't get many gifts but the ones I got were great or will be when I get them.

The wife got me two DVD's I have wanted for some time, The Day the Earth Stood Still and Forbidden Planet which we managed to get as an amazon special combo.

My friend who was visiting got me an XP Pro upgrade disk that I have wanted/needed for many months. He also left me with some great cuban cigars, which is why he remains nameless, that we didn't manage to finish along with a lot of JD that we did manage to finish.

Last but not least my wonderful mother sent me a check which has enabled me to get my riding mower fixed and will give me many weekends of pleasure. Luckily the mower was not super expensive so I will also be able to get some Babylon 5 DVD's.

I can't decide which seasons to get but perhaps I will just throw in a few bucks and get this which will give me every season except the newest release of season five.
Eat your heart out Meryl.

That is a lot of money of DVD's but I will probably end up buying them separately if I don't get them together.

Not a bad haul if I do say so.
