Dear Santa,

If they exist, I need to look into acquiring a waterproof laptop. I'm spending between 30-60 minutes in the tub everyday. My Newsweek and Entertainment Weekly subscriptions aren't enough to supply all my bath reading material. When I've gone to a magazine stand, I must fight the urge to purchase the $6+ mags which I'll read in a day or two. There just aren't that many cheap mags that I have a desire to read.

(I'm paranoid about dropping things into the tub, so I can't justify the cost of bringing a book in with me.)

Now I'm trying to devise a way that I could use my laptop in the tub. I can't place it anywhere on the stool around the tub that is convenient for typing. Even reading requires that I occasionally lay a hand on the keyboard to scroll or navigate. I need to discover something I could just watch in the tub. But I don't want to find myself staying in the tub just to finish a movie or something.

See how a waterproof laptop in the tub would be pure heaven!?

Hmmm.... you're worried about dropping a book in the tub, but not a laptop? You're a nut! I don't think waterproof laptops exist... how would the mouse work if it was waterproof?

I'm not bringing a laptop in the tub. I'll work on my laptop while I'm on the toilet. It sits an a step stool. Today I tried shifting the stool around so I could reach the laptop while in the tub, but it wasn't working.

With a touchpad or nubbie, you don't need a mouse.

Try one of the used book stores for books. Since I don't know what type of things you like to read I'll just say that you should be able to find atleast a few things that can be kept for "tub only" reading.

If I can walk out with a full bag for $20, you should be able to find something for a good bit less. Try "The Coffee Tree" across from GHS or the used book store near 31 flavors.

I think the m-i-l gave JD her credits from selling to the store at Airport/Whitesburg, so I'll go there first.
