say water

when i moved and drove into new york, i went through the brooklyn battery tunnel and the toll guy looked into my car, which was filled with plants, and said, "it looks like you got da brooklyn bahtanic gahdens in deh!" then he saw hazel and piggie, loose, walking around amongst the plants, and laughed, "and da zoo!" i told him i just drove from chicago. he said, "say w-a-t-e-r" and when i repeated "water" in my midwest accent, he laughed and said, "you wait...that'll change!"

couched

Dave and I just got a new couch. A grown-up couch with a pull out bed! Our old couch is 105" long....which is really long, and it doesn't fit out of the door. In order to get the darn thing out, I needed to completely dismantle it. Sad because we can't give the couch away. It was a good couch.

Because cats have a weird reaction to new furniture and change, my friend suggested I plug in a pheromone diffuser to keep the cats mellow. I don't know if it actually works, but the cats seem calm. I think I need a diffuser for Dave, though.
