So Fr. Jed, Ann Marie, Cat and I went to the Rec Show last night. Cat and I go to that show at the Dome every year. We always have a blast. We walk around and go through all the campers. We would love to buy one, but we can’t afford one plus we have no where to store one either. But it is always fun to pretend.This was the first year we have gone with other people. It was fun to share that experience with our friends too. I don’t think AM would have ever gone had we not guilted her into it (she was going to go the movies by herself. We are soooo much more fun than that).
We went past the booth for the shop that I bought Cat’s bike at (her Christmas present). They had her bike out and the guy’s version next to it. I thought (out loud) “Boy I could use a new bike. Mine is still the crappy Wal-Mart special.” But that bike was $400 and that was more than we wanted to spend. But it did look nice, and Cat’s is a great bike. Jed thought we should buy it, mostly because he said he wanted to be able to say that he had been to the show with someone who actually walked out with something (other than a free pencil and an a bag of cinnamon roasted pecans, yum). We are just not spontaneous buyers.
This morning Cat said she couldn’t sleep because she kept thinking about getting me a bike. She said she wouldn’t be able to ride her nice new bike while I had to ride the screeching piece of crap. She was going out but I told her she better not go to the show to get the bike, because we had to think about it, plus how would she get it home! She doesn’t listen very welll!

She called me and told me she was coming to pick me up so we could go get my new bike. Turns out the one they had at the rec show was the upgraded model from Cat’s. She told them I bought hers cheaper and the guy mentioned that. Turns out it was the guy who sold me her bike and he remembered me. They didn’t have the regular model there, so he called the store and had one ready for us. She paid him there at the show (so we could get the “we pay your sales tax” sale price) then came to get me. We went down to the shop and they were just tuning it up when we walked in the door! So I got to ride my new bike home, how awesome was that! Needless to say we went for a ride this afternoon, it was gorgeous and we had a good time. We’ll have to go out tomorrow before it rains!
