Oh Happy Day!

Today is the 3rd happiest day of my life, after our wedding day and son's birthday. Well, not really but I am super excited that we are now a microwave-less home. Yeah, there are all sorts of supposed health reasons to not microwave your food and drinks, but I'm most glad to see it go because it is just a big heap of clutter, and clutter makes me cringe.

It's taken a long time for my husband to be on board with this. When we were dating I was about to toss it from MY apartment but he wanted to use it when he was over. Then we got married and moved, and the microwave moved with us. But recently he let his guard down and agreed that it could go. But it's still here, months later. Well, we just got word that, along with some friends, we'll be helping someone move into an unfurnished apartment and a microwave is one of the items we'll be supplying. Perfect! The microwave is going to a new home where it will be appreciated.

Although I occasionally reheat food in the microwave, I'm glad to see it go. It'll be nice to not find coffee sitting in there that was forgotten by my mom or husband days prior- ew. It will be nice to see one empty space amongst a cluttered kitchen. Getting rid of things we don't need or use is fun! Is there anything you can part with an give to a greater cause?

We still need a few furniture items, like a queen mattress, and odds and ends for the apartment we're helping with before June 1st. Contact me for details if you're interested in donating.
