Tonnage

We bought these fancy bed-lifters from Bed Bath and Beyond. They're cool. They let you store all kinds of crazy things under your bed. Plus it makes your bed really tall, so that you have to climb up rather than flop down. But, jumping, oh no. Don't jump onto your bed. Or if you plan on jumping up onto the bed make sure you have some extra lifters around the house. Otherwise when one of them shatters into tiny pieces you'll have to go to the store and get more. On a Sunday. During the game. Otherwise the bed's going to be so lopsided that even the cat won't sleep on it.

A Civilized Houshold

It's back- and now in three rooms with two DVRs! Television!
We finally got tv service - DISH network - installed on Saturday. Once the satellite guys left, we spent about an hour watching tv in different parts of the house. The 1st thing I watched: Raising Arizona. Classic. Other omens were mixed - I got to watch the Hokies lose, but the Redskins win.

We most likely would have held out on the tv service until after the holidays, however we are hosting Christmas at our place this year. My mom, currently overseas, prefers watching Pittsburgh games in the afternoon, instead of at 3am. Also, my sister needs tv to fall asleep. While her exhausting job has lessened this dependency she prefers to unwind in front of the tv before bed.
