It’s Just Me

I wrote a post on my other blog about how my husband has been saving me the new purple five dollar bills he comes across. I currently have $275! The kids and I counted it last night. Now originally when he started bring home the fives I was planning on buying myself the beautiful purple, Dyson Animal (made just for animal owners) because my Louie can shed enough to knit a new blanket each day of the year. Plus they just came out with the Dyson Animal “the ball” which has ubber pivot action. It costs about $50 more but would be much easier to use. Total cost almost $600, so I’m almost half way there. Here she is in all her glory.

But for years, well since I was a child I have wanted a trampoline. Normally this wouldn’t be a huge cost but my husband insists on the enclosure (which is a good thing for safety, but they cost as much as the darn trampoline.) My in-laws veto’d this as a birthday present for several years in a row because they swear we won’t use it. I say bullhooey to them… I know we’d use it. Plus it would be a great exercise thing for when my daughter starts her home school. We could totally use 30 minutes of jump time as her exercise for the day which is much more fun than walking on a treadmill. The cost of the trampoline is anywhere between $280 and $3,000. Yeah… right like I’d spend three thousand. The one I’d get is closer to $350 so cash wise I’m almost there. Here is the trampoline in all it’s splendor.

Now I could go for the tramp first and then save up again to get the dyson since I do already own a Kirby (which cost me $1,800 almost 6 years ago and it also shampoo’s carpets). But I sure would love that Dyson Animal, specially with summer coming and Louie shedding even more hair.

Or better yet, Dyson could give me a vacuum that I could blog about and promote on a daily basis and I totally would I swear it. Crap I’ve probably already written about 5 posts on the Dyson Animal already, without even owning it yet…. Did you hear that Dyson? I know they could give me one and then let me give one away to my readers, all three of them. Yeah Dyson, my 3 readers want a Dyson too.

So yeah… what should I do?

Dyson or trampoline.
