I wasn't deliberately snooping. I really wasn't but I stumbled across what I presume to be a gift from my boyfriend to me today and, instead of turning away from the package (unwrapped at this point) buried in the corner of the closet I... well... I peeked inside. I couldn't help myself. Is that bad? I feel bad but I'm excited too. I know it isn't the only gift I'm getting so there will still be some surprises but I still feel naughty.

I've been hinting about wanting a Dirt Dog robot shop vac. I do a lot of mixed media painting and my studio is a royal pain to clean up so I've been wanting one of these. It looks like I'm getting one. I know it's not the most romantic gift a girl could get but these things are amazing. I want to get into my studio right now and make a mess just so I can turn it loose on Christmas day. Is that obvious? Probably. Best to just lay low I suppose.

I'm sure there will be a cashmere sweater or a nice designer handbag thrown in as well but I'm more excited about the iRobot than anything else. I guess that's why he loves me.
