I <3 my appliances

[jethrien]

Oh wow. Oh guys. I love my new microwave and vacuum cleaner so much. My microwave heats up my hot chocolate in only 2/3 the time it took the old one. And it's actually hot, really hot. And the vacuum cleaner? Has different height settings. Like, I can use it on both the hardwood floor and the carpet and they both come out clean. I don't think the little Persian carpet has ever been so clean.

I cannot say how happy this makes me. I feel like the pathetically thrilled housewife in a bad 1950s commercial. Rest in peace, crappy old appliances. I don't miss you.

I do like the fact that such simple things can make you happy.

You are a 1950s housewife. Yes, microwaves existed then.

Ooh - what kind of vacuum cleaner?

Heeeee. I was too, too thrilled about the electric sweeper I got for my birthday, so I understand completely.

It's not part of regressing to housewife status: it's part of being old. You start wanting things that work better and you have the money to get them, so you do and your life is aweeeesome.

Seriously, I go to Disney World and there are shirts! The Nightmare Before Christmas is everywhere! Cute hats! Pins! Jewelry! Commemorative Mugs! Me? I head for the kitchenware section and buy Mickey Mouse-head pancake shapers, ice cube trays, and oven mitts.

You would not believe how delighted I was to move into an apartment with a dishwasher after two years in a place without one. And the washer/dryer combo ... oh, it's a slice of heaven.
