Why I Love Apartments:
1. The added workout your arm gets when the front door doesn't close quite right.
2. The cute, adorable little beetles crawling across your carpet as you get ready for bed.
3. The common sensical way the bathroom and bedroom door open so that only one can be open at a time or they collide.
4. The graceful way the closet, patio screen and sliding pantry door come derailed on a regular basis.
5. The leg exercises that are seen through to the end by going up at least one floor of stairs every time you return home from anywhere.
6. The music the refrigerator plays beautifully at midnight so that you have to get up and whack it with a shoe. It's a great pregnant woman's alarm clock for the midnight snack.
7. The speedy cooking the oven does- because it's so old, I mean because it's such an antique, that it bakes things at 100* higher than it says it does.
8. The way the walls are so thin- it allows for them to breathe. Hot in the summer, cold in the winter. You can lay naked with your honey in the summer, or snuggle up to him with a wubby in the winter. Everyone wins.
9. The gorgeous 6' x 10' mirror on the wall that allows you to watch TV from almost anywhere in the apartment.
10. The classy mini-blinds hung on every window that allow your children to bend them in artistic ways to make your apartment look like an even cozier, classier place to abide.
11. The heavenly white carpet that ends up serving as a collage of all the things you dropped, stomped on, spilled or drug through the apartment.
12. The pipe in the wall that serves as a mister on that hot summer day when it gets punctured with a nail while trying to hang a picture, because the pipe was not properly placed.
13. The glorious odor of mold that really wakes you up in the morning when you take a shower. Helps people save money on coffee or other awakening substances.
14. The convenient lacking of light fixtures and/or ceiling fans in the bedrooms when living in a city whose temperatures reach well over 100*. It's nice when someone at least includes a BYOL or BYOCF in the contract. (Bring Your Own Lamp/Bring Your Own Ceiling Fan)
15. The amount of calories you burn while dragging 3 loads of laundry to the laundry facility. And the mental relaxation time you get to have by hanging all of your clothes across your house because the dryer didn't do its job.
There are so many things I love about apartments. So...what's your apartment like?!
Ha Ha I love reading your blog it makes my day! Apartments are so fun I am glad we are through with that phase of our life! You forgot to mention the smells of your neighbours dinner that lingers for weeks especially when you are pregnant and even the best smells turn you stomach!
ReplyDeleteha ha ha ha ha ha this cracked me up! All so true and you always have such hilarious ways of expressing yourself!! I remember once when I went to wash our clothes(after we had only been married for a short while) and I failed to look inside the washer before putting my load of WHITES in...I came back later to find that all my whites were now a beautiful shade of pale pink..someone had left a red crayon in the washer!!! ha ha ha I'm glad I don't have to share washers anymore!!!
