I LOVE SUMMER!

I know that I've said it before...

I LOVE SUMMER!!!!!!

I love the long days. I love the sunshine. I love the heat! (I don't love the humidity).

I love the fruit that is in season and I love grilling. Ok, well, that's now quite true. I love the grilling that has been done for me in the past, but NOW I love the grilling that I can do myself.

Brian and I have been going back and forth about purchasing a grill. We received a grill from someone but the burners do not work. Boo.

So, we decided to purchase a small "tabletop" grill that is perfect for tailgating or for two people.

We learned that you should let the coals completely heat up but other than that, we had scrumptious sesame ginger chicken, corn and salad.

I also delighted in WATERMELON and CANTELOUPE. YUM YUM YUM! I grieve the fact that my husband doesn't share the same delight and joy in these delish fruits! Oh well, more for me!

New Vacuum

With risking sounding like Monica from Friends, I must say...I LOVE OUR NEW VACUUM!!!!

We had a nice little vacuum that was about 6 years old. It still was in good condition but the suction wasn't working as well. Or as Brian says, "you can't even tell that I vacuumed."

Plus, this past week, Brian was tested for different allergies and discovered he is allergic to pet dander, several types of trees, dust mites and ragweed.

So we embarked on a cleaning adventure which ensued in purchasing a new vacuum. We love the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser. After we assembled it easily, we broke in the new cleaner and proceeded to eliminate the dust mites and pet hair that have been invading our life. We had to empty the dirt container SIX times! SIX!

The carpet feels like its brand new, all soft and dirt free (or at least significantly reduced).

We are happy. Allergies at bay. Yay!
