Love of Things

Today I'm talking about LOVE. Not the kind of love you might think but our love of things. The things that fill our lives and we never notice until they are gone. If you know me personally you already know my household has been without water going on two weeks. While I didn't panic in the beginning when we found the gaping hole in the water line, I'm beginning to get a little stressed out over the situation.

My third plumber is here working on the mistakes of the first two plumbers, who shall remain nameless as I do not want to give them any publicity, even the negative kind. Mainly because, I'm afraid you will try to prove me wrong about them and hire one of them to only end up in the same place they left me.

Lets get back to LOVE and forget all that.

Recently I wrote an article about getting your second date and in it I told about how we all love dating clean people. Clean looking, clean smelling and clean to the touch. It's kind of hard to have that loving feeling about someone when you have to hold your nose.

Being without water in the house has given me a different outlook on how to be and stay clean. No more long hot showers or soothing bubble baths, just a quick wipe and swipe with a wash cloth. How did our forefathers and mothers deal with this? There is no creek near by or I would have jumped in by now. Oh, where is my sweet smelling, makes me feel so good, water?

When my beautiful water gets back to my house I promise not to waste it or take it for granted. I will love it like a new born baby. Hold and caress it until both of us are satisfied. I will even wash dishes with a smile.

Come soon, my sweet much needed friend, Momma is waiting on you......
