First, let me say, it's the little things in life that amuse me. Matt is upstairs vacuuming the carpets with the Dyson. He already vacuumed the living room, dining room and foyer stairs with it. I am still amazed and appalled at how much junk this thing picks up. Now, honestly, I only vacuum once a week. I'll pull out the push vac to vacuum up things that Maddy drops like popcorn pieces and the like. But we only deep vac once a week. But even after just a week I can't believe how much stuff we picked up with the Dyson. It's unbelievable.
We have an appointment on Monday to have a whole house humidifier put into our heating/cooling unit. We're tired of messing with the little ones and we are so dried out. So we finally bit the bullet. We are also having them come out on Wednesday to give estimates about what it would cost to replace the entire unit. It'll be $$$ but, well, as it is it doesn't cool or heat at it's maximum potential and we've also neglected getting it serviced regularly the way we are supposed to. Add in that it's past it's prime in life... well... it's somewhere on our list of things to do with the house.
I also took a big plunge yesterday and bought 8 fruit bowls, 8 soup bowls and a covered serving bowl for my china set. It was on sale 50% off at Boston Store and my parents saw it in the paper and asked if I wanted to get anything. Fortunately, I won't actually need to pay for it until it arrives in THREE TO FOUR MONTHS. Not that it overly matters since we don't pull it out very often anyway.
We made pumpkin waffles this morning and boy are they good! We have a stew in the crockpot for dinner. But we'll see if I eat here or not. I am meeting a college roommate who's in town for a conference for dinner tonight. It'll be nice to see her since I haven't seen her since our trip to WI when Maddy was 10 months old. It'll be nice to sit down with her and chit chat. Speaking of, I need to make a reservation for that! Better call now.
Have a great weekend!
