not-so-ordinary household appliances...
i love it. i really truly love it.
normally, buying a household appliance, like a toaster, teapot, air humidifier, rice cooker, what have you... is a rather lame experience, if you ask me. but not in China! EVERYTHING has ears and feet and cute little button noses! now that winter is settling in, our apartment has been incredibly dry. throw in a thick dose of pollution and you're bound to have a constant itchy nose and a dry throat, so... off we went, in search of an air humidifier. we had quite a selection: pigs, elephants, frogs, bears, dogs, penguins, even a few mystery creatures that were so cute they didn't need a name. we chose the blue dog, and he blows cold billowing moisture out of his little ears! every time I walk by him, I pat his little head and think of our sweet dog back in the States. it really feels like we have a China pet now!

so i guess a china pet is the next best thing to a chia pet!
i really didn't want to say it, but i couldn't help myself. it was a bad joke that just needed to come out :)

I love the humidifier!!! I want one, too!! I would have a difficult time chosing one---but I think you chose well---the blue dog in honor of Linux!!! He is so adorable and we are loving him so much ---I think we are going to have to work out a "time share" when you guys return home!!
Love,
Mom and Dad
He had a great trip to Greenville and will go to N.C. with us during Christmas to visit his cousin, Millie----the Jack Russell. He already had a new dog nest for the trip and his own Christmas stocking, with goodies to go in it!!!

Linux just read your post. He has a message for you:
WOOF! WOOF! GRRRRR! WOOF!
As you can clearly see, he's pissed.
