Pathetic

Is it sad when you can plug in your vacuum in the kitchen and it reaches throughout the whole apartment? And is it even more sad that this apartment is considered "big" compared to your last one? I love vacuuming. Mainly because it means your floor is completely clear. I love to vacuum right before the kids go to bed and sit on the couch with something yummy to eat and watch a movie, which I am about to do!

A few more things I'm loving:

Garbage disposal. I have a bad habit of letting things rot in my fridge (I blame my mom - sorry mom, but I think I got that from you!) and now I don't have to dump it in the trash can and then either empty it immediately or deal with the smell. I can just put it in the garbage disposal! It doesn't take much to make me happy!

Dishwasher. I've never been much of a fan of dishwashers because they always seem to leave a few things dirty. But now I realize a few items not getting all the way clean is worth a bunch of items getting super clean. And since we have barely any counter space it's nice to not waste any on a dish rack. This is our first apartment with a dishwasher and garbage disposal.

Cool weather in August. We got a bunch of rain today and have had the windows open all day. Feels so good and saves on the bills!

Water filter. Ever since we moved here we've been trying to figure out what to do about drinking water. We drank the tap water the first few days and it literally made us sick. It smells like mold and has a really thick feel to it. We aren't even that picky about tap water but this stuff is really bad. We bought a couple of jugs at Walmart, planning to refill them with one of those water machines, but apparently those machines don't exist here. We looked everywhere and couldn't find one. So today we bought a Pur water filter and we love it! Ahhh, water, yummy.

Off I go to watch a movie instead of doing things on my huge "to-do" list! Yay!
