Do you have...

[maxfox426]

... an item in your house that you never thought you needed, but now you can't live without?



Mine is my french press. We got it a few years ago, and at the time I was like, "Seriously? What are we even going to use this for? "

Today I was washing it, dropped it, and thought I had broken it. I almost died in a puddle of my own tears.
(Thankfully, it was not broken, though. *HUGE SIGH OF RELIEF*)

Soo... what's your story? opcorn:

Can I count Rosey? I hated her when we got her

Hmmm.... I'm sure I *do*....

The x-box.

I had the exact opposite experience as you, maxfox! I broke my french press in the dishwasher, so I had to use this weird, one-cup coffee filter holder thingy...ah, it looks like this:

It was a Christmas present and I thought it was the most ridiculous thing ever until I had no other way to make coffee. I haven't replaced the french press yet.

Usually I have the opposite problem. I buy something because I "know" I'll use it all the time! and can't live without it! Then a week later I'm like, why did I buy this and where am I supposed to put it?? LOL.

Clive's carrier. He always hated front carriers so I thought he'd be the same for a back one. I was interested in them, but kept convincing myself 'Why am I spending this much for something he's probably going to hate'. But, we were going to a dog show and I knew I couldn't carry him all day, certainly could not let him run free and wasn't sure how I'd be able to maneuver a stroller, so ordered one.

Best. Thing. Ever. That has prevented so many toddler tantrums in stores, since if he's tired, he just goes to sleep, vs sitting in a cart all crabby.

The rice maker! We never thought we'd use it, but surprise, we use it almost every night. SO MANY FUNCTIONS.

Can't think of anything in the house. But I didn't want the Extang low profile cover for my truck. I actually had a major, irrational explosion after we put it on (long story). Now? I love the thing. I even stopped at the vender's booth at a local truck show to tell him how much I love it.

My smartphone.

Never really had an interest in them, got my iphone, and it's now my favorite handheld object around the house.

Camelback water bottle. I thought it was an inpensive stupid thingy that everyone just had for no reason.

Now I'm like WHERE IS MY BOTTLE?!? LOL
