I Want One
Posted on August 27, 2006 by Ching under Babies, Life, Wishlist.
Brian saw this on TV the other day. I actually heard about it from Jan several months ago but I didn’t know what it was called to look it up. So anyway, now that I know what it is, I found their web site. It’s Petapotty.com. A pretty neat idea. I wish I could have thought of it. I’d probably be rich by now.
Anyway, Molly is acting more and more like a cat lately. She’s actually able to get on the cat tree now. And the boys thought they were safe! Not any more!
The other day Brian left her in the room by herself and she knocked over a cup of Pepsi. It went all over Brian’s pillow and the featherbed. We needed to replace the featherbed anyway because it’s worn so out Molly just gave us the push we needed. We went to Target and got a synthetic alternative that works just as well. What’s better is that there will no longer be feathers poking out to stab me.
Yesterday was pretty much errand day. Brian took me to my waxing and then we went to the bank to start a savings account (now that we are debt-free, we can start putting money away). We are actually saving for our home rennovations which we plan on starting in the next year. In the process, we ended up getting an account upgrade. We went from free checking to relationship checking so now we get free stuff (free online banking, free online bill pay, no more fees for using other banks’ ATMs, free feature checks, travellers’ checks, official checks, and all that stuff). Free stuff is always good, but my favorite part is that if we go over a certain balance then our money will earn interest. I know other banks do this anyway, but Intrust doesn’t offer this to their basic checking customers. We’d have to switch to another bank which is a pain so we just kind of have to go with what Intrust Bank has to offer.
After the bank I took Brian to the Anchor for lunch. He’d never been there. He actually liked it. Except for the strange people. Brian thought it was odd that this lady sitting next to us struck up a conversation with me out of the blue. I thought it was odd too, but I wasn’t as weirded out by it as Brian was.
Next stop was Target. We ended up getting two new pillow and our matress topper. We actually got a good night’s rest last night. Our first one in a long time. The new matress topper feels good.
We also stopped by mom and dad’s house to pick up Jen’s old airbed. Brian and I have been wanting to get it but we always forget to take it home with us when it’s time to leave. Now we have it and we can start having our slumber-party-movie-marathon nights in the family room again. We used to do it until our featherbed got so worn out that it wasn’t cushy against the floor anymore. I miss those nights. Anyway, hopefully I’ll have some free nights when I don’t have so much homework so we can have a slumber party night.
We got to hang out at the house for a while but not for too long because I asked Brian to go to Latin dance class. It was so much fun! I can’t wait to go again next week. Hopefully, we’ll learn some new moves and get better. I love dancing.
Today has been devoted to homework and laundry. I did get to play some poker but my poker playing days are numbered. I have a full load this semester and I’ll be lucky to come out without having a nervous breakdown.
Please bear with me even if I start blogging less frequently. I’m just busy with school. I should be able to start blogging regularly again in between semesters and during the summer. Unless we begin rennovations next year, in which case you probably won’t hear from me at all. We’ll see.

My Next Big Spend
Posted on November 4, 2005 by Brian under Wishlist.
I have decided that if I’m ever going to be taken seriously as a graphics artist I need to have serious graphic art tools. I have pretty much everything, however I need one final component. The Cintiq 21UÂ digital Wacom tablet. This thing is awesome, you can actually draw directly on the tablet itself. The tablet is used by professional artist all over the world from Disney to Marvel. I believe that if I had this tool, I would finally be able to fulfill my dream of becoming a graphics artist. What I will do to see if anyone is willing to help me is, get my wife to add a button to both hers and my web site that will allow you to donate to my cause. Anyone that has seen my art knows that this will only improve my abilities and allow me to do more outstanding works for you to enjoy. Keep an eye out for the button and please, please help me out.

I Found My New Car!
Posted on October 29, 2005 by Brian under Wishlist.
That’s right. I found my new car. Its made by Mercedes Its compact and not in the US as of yet. But you can order them from Canada. They get about 60 MPG and its not a Hybrid, just straight fuel. I love it!
And to top it off, its small enough that if I get into a major wreck; it will double as a coffin!

New on the Want List
Posted on October 26, 2005 by Ching under Wishlist.
Remember how I said I wanted a Canon SD550, which just happens to be on my Amazon wishlist for those of you who are feeling generous (it is only four days until my birthday after all) for my next camera? Well, I take that back. I really want a Casio Exilim EX-S600.

TMO Needs to Step It Up
Posted on September 18, 2005 by Ching under Wishlist.
Why is it that Cingular has the coolest phones available? I’m tried of wanting a new phone only to find out that T-Mo doesn’t support it. GRRR! Case in point, my phone. It’s working now, though, and I can do everything that I need to do with it so I could care less if I can’t get any help from T-Mo. Exhibit B is the phone that Brian wants: Nokia 6682. This is another one that we will have to purchase through eBay when the time comes (probably December). We have to buy it unlocked because, just like my Sony Ericsson s710a, it’s a Cingular phone. I hate his current phone and I can’t wait for him to upgrade. I wish it were December already! Naturally, I’m excited because I want to play with the Nokia 6682 also. Yes, we are gadget freaks. BTW, the 7 megapixel camera phone from Samsung is coming. It’s CDMA, though so unless we switch service providers all hope of trying that is out of the question. But I’m sure the GSM version will soon follow.
