I Want One

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.
