hey all -

Today we went to nearby (ok, so nearby out here means over an hour away...) Fort Collins, Colorado to do some shopping that we can't get done elsewhere, even in Cheyenne! We decided next time we go to Fort Collins we will take a camera with us because the country is really beautiful and breathtaking.

We went to Macy's to exchange a knife set we got as a wedding gift because it came with 4 steak knives missing! Luckily they had another in stock and we were able to get that one instead. Then we checked out Target (yayyyy!) and bought a kitchen cart so we have someplace to put our microwave and and other supplies.

And, best of all, we splurged on a cat tree at Petco after checking out a few pet stores and vetoing making our own. Since we moved in, we noticed Atari was looking longingly at the windows, which are near the ceiling because we have a basement apartment. We immediately knew we had to get her a cat tree, and that it had to be 5 ft tall so she could see out the window. So Petco had just what we were looking for (Johnny insisted on the cubby for her to hide in, which she loves) and the tree barely fit in the car. Once we got it home, Atari immediately took to it, wildly climbing all over it and attacking it. She loves it, horray! Money well spent.

Here is Atari enjoying her new perch:







Anyways, now Johnny and I are watching Law and Order and Flip That House while making chocolate peppermint cupcakes. Johnny starts work tomorrow and I am hoping for a callback on some jobs I applied for in the past week.
