New Items

Matt and I went on a spending spree! Unfortunately, it wasn't clothes or cool electronics. We bought a new vacuum cleaner, lawn mower, wall clock, and bike. Not to mention we finally bought a dining room rug which will hopefully arrive in a few weeks.
Our vacuum cleaner died a while ago. It was never that great to begin with so we decided to buy a good one from Dirt Devil. It is also approved to be environmentally friendly since it has HEPA filters! It has an attachment for those hard to reach places, but I don't see us using it too often since we have a mini dirt devil does the job nicely.

Our old lawn mower was something the previous owners of our house threw in at closing. It lasted until a month ago. It was nice to prolong having to buy one for a year, but this time around we bought one that came with a bag so the clippings aren't deposited on the lawn anymore. Also we have one that has a 3 year warranty on the starter so if it doesn't start within 2 pulls, we can get if fixed or replaced for free. Matt was always pulling the crank 9 or 10 times to get it to work and sometimes it didn't at all!
The bike is the most exciting part. My bike has been in storage for a while at Sabrina's and for reasons I won't get into, I can't get it back any time soon. It was a REALLY NICE mountain bike. After waiting 2 months for my no-show bike, I went to Target and got one that I could start riding. I figured when we eventually get my bike back, Matt can ride one of the two because they both are nice unisex bikes.
In other news, I signed up for a pilates class that begins in July through the Royal Oak Community Center. I hope the bike and this class give me proper motivation to get toned and healthy!
