I just got a new bubble machine. My fourth. So, far it works pretty well. It's messy so if you want to use it inside, I'd recommend using a towel. It was only $9 at Target.

I got this big ceramic statue of a flamingo at K-Mart for $70 (with a 20% discount). It's so cute! My mom said we'll get its friend when the prices go down more. It's just sitting in the garage now. We'll probably put it outside in a couple of weeks, once the nights are no longer freezing.

Got a bunch of new tonka trucks to play with when the small children (nephew, cousins, other relations) come to visit (as I have very few kids toys)

Think this was the last toy i got for myself,
boys and their toys..

:D i try to take some time out to play around
with this in the summertime, its fun and very,
very relaxing - suddenly i`ve been outside
for 5 hours, time just flies by and i kinda drift
off big time - And, I`m wearing headphones
so if humans come to close i just pretend i
dont seee/hear them and walk off into a bush
or something before they can get to where i
am :) Walking around with this tend to make
people curious but luckily its easy to avoid them
without offending them or anything

I remember being very happy when digging in the sandbox
as a kid so i guess i just never stopped digging :)

I'm so addicted to this right now. It's one of those games that makes learning fun. I'm learning to read and write Japanese so much faster than when I was trying to do it all on my own. It only took me a couple of hours to memorize all of the days of the week (Sunday though Saturday) and all of the months (January through December). I can even spell them in Hiragana!

I haven't bought any toys lately, but I recently rediscovered the awesomeness of my Mosin-Nagant M1891/59 that I originally picked up in a pawn shop for an incredible bargain. It's a beast to shoot; a full-sized rifle round out of a little carbine. In low light, it produces a blinding three-foot fireball!

Newest thing I've bought? A lawn mower. I'm sure it'll be great fun! :P :wink:
