Ya! I would think, spread it out. Game console as one prize. iPad as another. Gift cards as another. But EVERYTHING? Ya, I entered.

I entered Dan. He is looking at the catalog right now. It's very cute. (He said I could have the iPad if he won.)

Oh, yes. But I will graciously cede that to him, since he is way more into than I. And we have a Wii, which is more fun for me.
He would, however, have to buy me several t-shirts and the titanium spork from ThinkGeek.

Ooooo! That spork is made of awesome! I was given one several years ago. Awesome for camping. And great in the lunch bucket.

ACK! NO!
