I want one too, I just can't decide what or where. I'm worried I'll get bored with it, I tend to have a short attention span so i need something I'll love forever. And I want something a bit unique, or in a spot that's unique. I just cant decide!

In your case with your family I wonder if you would be better off raising the idea first. Bring it up in a lighthearted way, then again, then again and each time let them know you are a bit more serious. Kind of the mental equivalent of letting them step slowly into the water. Then when you do it, they might still think youa re crazy but they wil have come to terms with your craziness
