My new bed came to the house a few days ago. New bedframe, new boxspring, new mattress, same featherbed. Plus new sheets and a new throw. I can't wait to see how comfy it is. I love my bed. It's going to be quite the adventure come summertime though, since it's only a twin and Josh is the biggest bed hog ever. His bed is a queen and I always wake up playing cliffhanger in the morning with his legs all over me. I can't imagine how we'll have to contort ourselves when we spend the weekends at my house.
Since I came to France my dad has been talking about getting a dog, since Mom works a lot and I'm not going in and out and he's lonely. At first she said no, it's too much work, but then they decided to take it out on the boat with them on the weekends. So we're getting a cat and a dog. He says he wants a manly one, not a "pansy dog" like a poodle, so as of now we're looking at border terriers. Mom and I really wanted a beagle, but they hate the water. And Dad originally wanted a Jack Russell, but they hate cats, and we can't have anything that might eat the kitten. Apparently they're going to a breeder this weekend to pick out a puppy. Meanwhile, the Animal Rescue League called this week and said they're getting a bunch of litters in over the next few weeks, so we'll have a lot to choose from when we go to pick a kitten. I really miss having a cat. I got Dewey when I was 3, so it's been weird not having her around. Mom says she hopes we like this one as much as we liked her. I'm sure we will.
My suitcase is already so heavy. I'm ready to shell out the extra $50 if it goes over the 50 lbs. weight limit. It's probably already there. I guess I bought more over the course of four months than I thought. I'm giving all my pots and toiletries to my host family; I'm never going to use them again, and what's the use in lugging them home if they'll have more use for it all than I will?
I was talking to Josh last night and there was a bird just sitting on his windowsill, tapping over and over on the pane. Not chirping or anything, just sitting there, looking at him and tapping for five minutes. He's rather religious so he believes that souls can come back in different forms and say hi. Maybe it was his grandmother or something. I've always kind of believed that, too. It's comforting if nothing else. Do any of you believe in ghosts or spirits and the like? I'm a strong believer in fate, but as far as actual ghosts are concerned... I'm sure there are some, but I guess it's more of a "believe it when you see it" type thing.
