Things that are surprisingly fun to shop for...

As I am working on settling into my new dwelling, I am finding out that some things can surprise you about living alone - the main thing being how quick the bills add up. However, how I got those bills was the fun part. See, I am discovering that some things I never thought would be fun to shop for, are really fun to get.

1. Toilet bowl brush - yeah, I know it sounds gross, but they have these kind that have disposable ends so they aren't so gross anymore.

2. Towels - I find towel shopping entertaining. It's fun to look through the reasonable towels for something that won't clash totally with my kitchen (or something without cats - yuck!)

3. Small Kitchen appliances- toaster, waffle maker, crock pot - all fun things to shop for.

4. Groceries - Yeah, I now love to grocery shop. Paying the bill isn't fun, but wandering through the aisles is. My little brother/roommate Adam and I spent 1 1/2 hours at Meijer's the other night. It was a lot of fun. He enjoys grocery shopping even more than I do and he is even slower at it than I am.

5. Laundry - Never thought I would say this, but there is a certain pleasure to washing dirty clothes.

6. Pulling weeds - I have suddenly gotten this urge to garden, I have no idea where it came from, but I find it refreshing.

7. Curtain shopping - It really dresses up a room and there are lots of choices out there.

I seem to be stuck on the number 7 again...
