Bathroom Humour...
During our hunt for a new house, we learned from our past mistakes - don't get dazzled by the little things...like hot water dispensers installed next to the kitchen faucet so you can make a quick cup of coffee or soup (not that we even drink coffee)...The Austin house had one of those thingys, and it stopped serving hot water about 6 months after we moved in, and because it was installed using bubblegum and duct tape, we never we able to figure out how to get it to deliver hot water again...So this time around, when looking for homes, we knew better...do not be fooled by flashy gizmos and disguises...When we looked at the house we've recently moved into, we noticed it had a jacuzzi tub - 'big whoop' I said...You can't get ME with suped up appliances that just break down, i'm not falling for it...
We bought the house regardless of the tub..and with all the moving in the heat, and the sweatiness that it brings, I thought I'd try the tub out...oooooohhhhhh...in the 8 days that we've been in the house, I've used the tub twice...twice in 8 days have I taken a whirlpool bath...that's about how many times I took a 'normal' bath in the Austin house in the 6 YEARS that we lived there...showers are my preference - get in and get out...but I must say, this jacuzzi thing is pretty sweet...I feel like a pot of spaghetti when i'm in it, I think I may fall asleep in it eventually...I spent so much time in it last night my fingers pruned right up and I didn't want to get out...I discovered the jets move so I can shoot them at my feet or legs, and what's nice is, the water level never sinks (no slow leaks) and the heat stays consistent...This thing is amazing...I'm sure eventually the motor will blow and we'll have to have it serviced or something equally frustrating, but for now, I'm getting out the oregeno and salt and making a big batch of Linguini Donner...
