Schwoopieeeeee

I'm a giant child from time to time. Being able to have fun and laugh is important. We were at the dollar store the other day to pick up animal cookies and crackers. They've been my go to snack as of lately. They're cheap and not all that bad for you. A coin machine thinger caught my eye that had 'rocket balloons' with 'schwoopie sound effects'.

After nudging Chris and insisting he look at it, he bought me one.

He blew it up for me, and the results were hilarious. It takes a ton of lung power to blow it up for a few seconds of laughs, but it was totally worth it. Especially since I wasn't the one blowing it up, hah. The animals were freaking out about it. It eventually broke and I was pretty sad, but it was the best fifty cents we spent in awhile.

You can watch some funny videos I took of it below!

To Drown a Fish...

Got my Christmas presents from Chris in the mail yesterday. So far i've only opened Exploding Kittens, but it looks really fun. I can't wait to play it with Chris later.

Speaking of animals and Christmas, I never did mention what we got the critters.

Funds were tight, so we couldn't get the animals much. We got Daisy a big bag of peanut butter dog treats. She loves her some peanut butter. They almost look like Nutter Butters. Her cookie jar was getting low. Now it's full to the top again.

We got Tux one of those fishing pole type cat toys. He could chase whatever's on the end of that string all day. He gets so tired out eventually because he tries so hard. Eventually I just let it lay on the floor and he'll entertain himself with it. This one has a fish on the end, and for some reason he keeps putting it in their water dish. At first I thought he did it on accident, and I took it out and let it dry, but he keeps doing it. It's kind of gross. I'm not sure if he's trying to drown it or what.

One of the things I got Chris for Christmas is a fidget tactile toy. It's great for stress, anxiety, and quitting smoking. I really like it too, it's hard not to steal from him. I generally have a hairband around my wrist to fidget with, but this is far superior. I've been looking at them on Amazon and already have planned to get a few more. They're really cool and work really well. The one I got him is something like this if you're interested.

The first night we had it he was playing with it most of the night, and then left it in his pants' pocket. Daisy of course fished it out and used it as a chew toy. It's a simlar texture as some of her toys. She broke about three links on it, but luckily it snaps apart so it wasn't too hard to fix. Chris was heart broken at first because he thought it was ruined already. They're really affordable, and there's lots of variations of tactile, stress, and fidget toys available online. They work wonders for anxiety, seriously. Check them out.
