XP: If you had to spend 1000 dollars...

I am getting about 12k dollars from an inheritance at the end of the month. I'd like to get some gear, books, programs, etc, that all equals out to be 1000 dollars. I'd like to stay with Canon products. I think I would like to get an editing program. I'm still fairly new to my camera, but I know it well enough to be confident when taking pictures. I take pictures of everything (daily life with my one year old, trying to do his one year pictures, vacations, etc.), and my signature says what I have.
If you recommend books, please be specific. Thanks!
