Every time I put up a picture with the water bottle full of coins somewhere in the background – like
this one – someone (or several someones) want to know when we’re going to take the coins to the bank.
The answer, of course, is when it’s full!
The long answer is that that change is going to pay for part of our 10th anniversary trip to the Bahamas (in 2008!), so we’re going to keep tossing our change in there until a few months before our trip, when I’ll start rolling the change.
Which, I’m sure, will be tons and tons of fun.
From my comments:
Hey, are your cats on Catster?
They sure are:
Spanky,
Spot,
Miz Poo,
Mister Boogers,
Mr. Fancypants, and
Tubby are all on
Catster.
One more thing.. I have a new mouthguard (similar to your old one in fact.) and ever since I got it I wake up thinking I am eating something. Trying desperately to CHOMP through whatever it is. Sheesh, probably a good thing I have the darn thing or I might not have teeth LEFT. Yours looks odd, no front to it. Thinking the back part must be quite thick..
Yeah, the back part is pretty thick – and the last few mornings I’ve woken up actually chewing on the mouthguard as if I had gum in my mouth.
I swear, if I chew through this thing, I’m going to be pretty peeved!
Also, I think that the way it’s made – with no front part to it – is so that I could wear it during the day if I wanted to. I don’t grind my teeth during the day, but some people do. I can’t imagine comfortably wearing it during the day, though – it makes me lisp even worse than I already do.
My mouth guard looks a lot like your old one–is it the kind you boil? Anyway, the new one looks a lot comfier. Can you breathe through your mouth while it’s in there? (I had a cold a couple of weeks ago & couldn’t wear the mouth guard because I can only breathe through my nose while I’m using it, and what with the cold I couldn’t breathe at all with the mouth guard in. Sucked.) I know what you mean about the gag reflex with them, though–if my stomach is the tiniest bit upset I just can’t fall asleep with mine in my mouth.
No, the old one was one I got from my dentist, too – years and years ago. More than 10, I think. They took an impression of my teeth and made the mouthguard, if I recall correctly. I don’t have any problems breathing through my mouth with the mouthguard in, thank goodness, since I’m a total mouth breather!
Speaking of dreams! Robyn, I had a dream about you the other night. You invited a bunch of guys over to your house for a slumber party, and you told me that Fred, for SOME reason, was not happy about it. You said you couldn’t understand what the problem was. LOL
He just never lets me have any fun, does he? Hmph!

“It is RAINING, and I am wearing MY COLLAR, and it’s PISSING me OFF.”
“I will BITE at the air! Bite! Bite! Bite!”
“I will BITE some more! Bite! And if The Momma doesn’t stop calling me ‘Boogity’, I will bite HER, too!”

Robyn do you ever watch Funniest Home Videos? I usually don’t, but last night they had a great one of a big old orange cat whose family brought another cat into the house. Before they had even set the new cat down, the orange cat hissed and growled and went running at the person holding the new cat. They ran away. Then the orange cat hissed and growled at some random person watching in the background and chased them into a bedroom. Then the orange cat turned on the person holding the camera and the last thing you see is this BIG orange cat coming all fangs and claws. Too funny!
Amy: we do, but we haven’t watched last night’s yet – we DVR’d it, and will probably watch it tonight. I’ll have to keep an eye out for that one! 🙂
ryn (Hey, you are like an honorary ODer now) at bbtl’s: No, he got those in Italy — they are of Vencenza(sp?). Pretty, though, huh? The one from Paris is hanging in our hall downstairs. Hey — I have an idea — why don’t you come VISIT us and you can see for yourself. Fred’s allowed, we are below the Mason-Dixon.
Kate: Ooooh, I see. They kind of have the same look – at least from a distance! 🙂
Mr. Boogers always looks a little to much like Chamberlain from Pet Semetary. It’s the eyes, the eyes…he’s always looking at me and it freaks me out!
In case you can benefit from my mistake, give your bank a call before you start wrapping all those coins. I spent almost two days sorting change and putting it into wrappers only to get to the bank and watch them unwrap everything and toss it into their change sorter/counter. All you may have to do is divide it into easier-to-lug containers.
Heh… in the 2001 post you said “grabbing his own package…” And yes, I’m sick. 😉
Hi Robyn,
I sent some e-mails for your giveaways today, but I was having problems w/hotmail. I don’t know if it inadvertently sent you multiple e-mails for each one, but if so, I apologize!! Thanks!
MERCI for the b’day greetings, Robyn!
Me old.
Where I live (FL) they have these machines that you can pour your change into and it counts it and prints out a receipt you take to the customer service desk and get your cash. They do charge, but I am not sure how much. Check it out: http://www.coinstar.com
