Tivo
We have it. Brooke's dad was kind enough to use his credit card points to buy us a year's subscription to Tivo. We've been having fun playing with it. The slow motion button renders everything hilarious. It's also very nice to be able to record shows that I decide to nap through and watch later. I do think this will lead to more tv watching, but I don't think it will be a significant amount. It definitely lessens the commercial watching which is good for my annoyance levels. I spend way too much time yelling at the commercials when I do watch them. It's been nice to only make sarcastic remarks at the actual shows now.
I finished my second batch of cookies for the shower tomorrow. I am banned from making more cookies, unless they are peanut butter, because Brooke doesn't like all the extra dishes they generate. Fair enough, I'm kind of burned out on baking for a while anyway.
I test drove a Jetta this weekend and have decided that is the kind of car I'm going to buy. The salesman was helpful without being condescending and did not push me to buy the car that day. I will definitely make sure to deal with him when I go back at the end of August with Mom and Dad to actually buy a car. I am both excited at the prospect of a car that can fit more than two people comfortably and saddened at the impending loss of Kitten. I'll have to look for bumper stickers for the Jetta soon. I would like to get another "Too bad ignorance isn't painful" one, but the only one I've found isn't really a style I like. I can take or leave "I don't suffer from insanity; I enjoy every minute" as that was a gift from my mom. Any suggestions on what clever slogans I should adorn my future car's ass with?
