Well things have just been top drawer around here lately. The search for a new vehicle has ended as we purchased a 2001 Pontiac Montana last night. We're both happy and excited about our decision, but we still laid awake in bed until 1 am thinking about how much money we had just spent.
Business has been great too. In the last two days we've had 16 calls for rentals. And Tuesday was a really crappy day. We usually get zero calls on cold and rainy days. I hope this signals a really great year, we're going to need it. I wonder how many calls tomorrow will bring.
We recently replaced our older model fridge and sold our ancient chest freezer. Now that the nice weather is here and I'm using the clothes line instead of the dryer the Hydro company owes us $160. Yep that's right we've been over paying our budgeted hydro bill. Our budget renews itself in August so it will be interesting to see how much more we're going to be able to save. No question the new appliances really are energy efficient.
Tonight after gymnastics we took Abby out for dinner as usual. We settled on Subway tonight. When we got there they had one poor girl working all by herself with a line up of 11 people. As we patiently waited for our turn to order. Abby wandered down the hall and found the bathroom. "Mommy I have to go pee pee toilet," she yells back to me. I'm thinking to myself, yeah sure you do. This is the child who has refused to even try to toilet train, perfectly content to wear diapers until she starts high school. When Abby and I get into the bathroom she starts pulling down her pants and is asking me to help her. Usually when she does this she sits on the toilet for a nano second and then wants to get off. Knowing I have time to kill before we can place our order I decide to humour her. So I get her all set up and sitting on the toilet and would believe she actually peed? Well colour me suprised! So here I am in the bathroom at Subway clapping my hands and cheering because she used the bathroom. So she finishes up and we wash our hands and head back out to meet Mike in line. Before we even get back to him Abby's yelling that she went pee pee toilet and now she gets a special treat. "Did she really?" Mike asks me. Yep she sure did, if I hadn't been there I wouldn't have believed it myself. Abby's so loud and proud that now the whole line at Subway knows what she did. So I ended up having a nice toilet training conversation with the Grandma in line behind us. Her grandson won't go pee at home, but will at Mickey D's. Aww the things you'll discuss with total strangers!
One of the big things I love about Mike is his sense of humour. He can have me in absolute hysterics. He came out with this last night and I was still laughing about it today. We're lying in bed last night, too jazzed up about the van to sleep so we're just talking about nothing really, just nonsense. Now on the wall on Mike's side of the bed there's a picture of Dale Earnhardt. Somebody got it for him as a gift a couple of Christmases ago and he hung it there because, well because there happened to be a nail there. So I'm looking at this picture and thinking that it's not a really great picture of him. I mean we have better in the house. So I ask Mike, "When can we take that picture of Earnhardt down off the wall?" Without missing a beat he says, "When I avenge his death!" It was such a ridiculous statement I just died laughing. I mean seriously, isn't it Dale Jr's job to avenge his father's death? I think Mike might be over stepping his boundaries.
Mike is right now watching Britney and Kevin: Chaotic, (Which I have to tell you is utter garbage.) and his position is Britney makes Jessica Simpson look smart. Yep folks it's *that* bad.
