Aaron and I just received our stimulus check in the mail. Yeah, I know, like a month after everyone else. Which means all our prudent plans on using it for our move or apartment deposit didn't really work out.
So now we're left with this temptingly large sum of seemingly available cash. I want to buy this toliet I saw on the wonderful blog Aquarium Lore. SO cool. I will do my best to make sure it is American made.
There are a few more things that I can am coveting:
Some really nice watercolor brushes and paper
A fish tank of neon tetras
A constellation night light
Audubon stuffed birds that make the accurate song when squeezed
Schleich dinosaur and animal figures. (The prehistoric mammals are pretty cool too)
Some nice prints from the National gallery
An Art class from the torpedo factory
A bike for Aaron so he can come ride with me
A bike upgrade for me
A flip
Some Ikea rugs to protect our dangerously white carpet in our new apartment
A pair of shoes (okay I really do need those)
A few good books including one of local DC day hikes.
And the taxidermied squirrel business card holder being sold at the local antique store
So there's my current American capitalist dream.
Any other suggestions?

Yeah, we were one of the roughly 2% of Americans that filed their tax return using the direct deposit system that did not receive their stimulus checks in May.
We only got our check a couple of weeks ago as well. Except, ours had a forwarding address sticker on it, which had stuck two other returns to the back of ours. Since they had to come all the way to the UK and then back to the US, I felt pretty bad for those people. Sure hope they weren't needing the money ASAP!
Way to help the economy! I vote for the bike. There are lots of great places to ride around Alexandria.
I think I might find that toilet all too distracting...But that's incredible.
Let us know what you end up buying; it sounds like your list is just the instigation of imagination backed with finances. More to come, I'm sure.
By the way...Michelle and I had a lot of fun with you all on Saturday night. Thanks for the great evening! We'll see you guys in a week.
How about 2 plane tickets to Utah for some fun vacationing in Provo?
That was so my idea, I thought an aquarium tub would be cool too!
