FUUUUNNNNN SATURDAY SHOPPING!

It was the most perfect day in Austin today.  No rain, no clouds, no wind, chilly night, PERFECT afternoon, with the high in the low 70's.  BEAUTIFUL weather.  And lots of entertaining events going on this weekend.

So while DAUGHTER and friends were at the FUN FUN FUN FEST on this perfect Austin day, I had my own fun.  Just let me tell you about it........

I spent THREE AND A HALF HOURS shopping for two things.

A new trash can for the kitchen.

And a new litter box for Pancho & Luci.

Does it get more fun than that?

And I spent three and a half hours because there are way too many options out there for both of these items.  I pretty much knew what I needed both things to do.  And I needed them to do it well!  WAY better than their predecessors.

Luci.....

.....has decided that she likes whatever we put in the kitchen trash can, and especially if it's mixed with coffee grounds.  I wish I had a picture.  HUSBAND usually cleans it up before I get there, trying to avoid yet more tears from me!  We don't have a cabinet that it fits in, so it has resided just fine in front of our dishwasher for a very long time.  It's foot-friendly when we need to scoot it over.  Luci has recently found the fun inside the can!

So here's what I got today.......

Ha!!!!  Get into THAT, Luci!  Sad thing is, I'm really not sure that she can't.  

And the litter box......

Well, Pancho, sweet Pancho......

...has decided that he no longer wants to go INTO the covered toilet, and that it's just easier to go on the rug right outside the door.  The rug is supposed to be for them to wipe their feet on!  I thought that was understood.  Really.

So here is what we had......

And here's what I took out a bank loan for today - the downtown, upgraded, high-end condo of litter boxes.

And I knocked out a wall this afternoon so it would fit where it needs to go!

I haven't yet put either one of these into operation.   I think I'll wait until tomorrow.
It was exhausting.  I'm glad I didn't need to shop for a new broom too.
