This probably looks like a PPP post, but it’s not. As most of you know, I use Stumbleupon when I’m bored and like to post some of my nifty findings here.

Today, it’s the coolest faucet I think I’ve ever seen. I want one!

From here.

Remove the top of a spigot, create a small-scale canyon, add backlighting and you’ve got ambient water fittings. That’s what Germany’s Hansa is doing with Hansacanyon, by adding LEDs that change color as a function of water temperature so you can see when it’s hot or cold. Also included; precise temperature control, for sinks, baths and showers.

It got to 80 something today, according to some weather site I found. It’s probably even hotter than that in our room, because we’re on the sixth floor of the apartment and in our room, we have two desktop computers and a laptop. Not to mention all our boxes, so the heat is just sitting in here. It’s a world of difference between here and the hallway. I miss air conditioning, but I’m sure I’ll get used to it.

We had Swiss Chalet for dinner tonight. It was good food, but the service was pretty bad. The guy was new, so I don’t entirely hold it against him, but he didn’t seem to know what was going on. Plus, Matt’s dinner said very clearly that it came with a soft drink, but after they gave us our food, they wouldn’t give us one. They said that we had to order it specifically. You wouldn’t think so, since it was on the menu, but whatever. They were going to charge us over a dollar for a tiny can of soda, so it wasn’t worth it.

Anyway, we’ve got our soft new comforter and the niftiest fan ever (it’s one of those tower fans that swings back and forth… I’ll find a picture of it later, maybe) and Star Wars loaded into the computer to play, so it’s relaxing time! I’m finally intrigued enough to see all of the movies without falling asleep. I’m only about 100 years behind the times, but whatever, better late than never, right?

It’s done. Matt’s home. I’m in Heaven.

I picked him up from the airport and I had flutterbies. I didn’t think I would, I mean, he’s my husband! I’ve been living with him for a year now, we saw each other every day until he left… But they were still there. Seeing him made me so happy that I thought I was going to cry, but somehow I didn’t, so it worked out.

We stopped at the grocery store to pick up the rest of dinner, checked out the comforter I like at Linens ‘n Things, and then came home. We made a taco salad, came downstairs and laid in bed to watch the race. I fell asleep before it was over, and when I woke up, Matt was upstairs and he had almost finished cooking Dorito chicken. What an awesome surprise! He really is a great husband. I’m so glad to have him here with me again. It’s like when we first met, but a million times better.

What do you think of the theme? I have to work some more on the last one, since I got some awesome suggestions from Kendra on how to make it better. I’m determined to learn more as I go and get better at this. I’m so out of practice!

Anyway, my Sims family is calling me. Off to put the 3rd generation heiress into college!

PS: Somehow I’m still sick. How is this even possible?

Matt’s mom gave us a new vacuum for Easter. Really, it was a gift for Matt’s niece Janelle for her apartment, but she had one, so Matt’s mom gave it to us instead. We could use it anyway. All four (yes, four) of the vacuums that she has suck. Unfortunately, not in the way that a vacuum should suck. Most just don’t pick anything up and one actually lets off very scary fumes. Not good to vacuum with, in my opinion.

So, without further ado, say hello to our new vacuum!

To be honest, it’s a bit loud, but it definitely gets the job done. And it’s very light, which is a plus for lazy people like me. And the best part, of course, is that it’s orange!
