Christmas Wish List: Time to Draw

Something happened this Christmas season that depressed me a bit more than it probably should have. WAY WAY back in October I asked my wife for a drawing tablet for Christmas. Not a super fancy one but an el-cheap-o from Monoprice. I had one like 15 years ago that stopped working when computers stopped shipping with serial ports. There's just so much you can do digitally that you can't do on paper that I thought it would be something fun to play around with.

By the time the first week of December rolled around and we started looking at our gift budget this year I told her to scrap the whole drawing tablet idea. Why spend $80 on something that I won't use for 6 months? 7 months? I don't know when do babies start sleeping? I've completely forgot.

So there you are. For Christmas this year I'd like a bit more time to draw (and maybe even learn to use the fancy markers I bought 2 years ago). I understand that a lot of that is on me and how I prioritize what little free time I have now but it would be nice if maybe, just maybe, the kids decided to go to bed before 10pm.
