Thursday Thirteen

Last week I did 13 things I didn't like about my house, and so for balance, here's 13 things I do like.

1. It is 2 blocks from a Mexican Starbucks twin.
2. The surrounding wall and imposing gate do make a safe place for my daughter to go play - even without any "nature" around.
3. Since my children have gotten used to the thundering traffic, they sleep though anything. Once we did have a pick-the-house-up-and-drop-it type thunderstorm (VERY RARE here) and it made my hubby and me sit up straight in our beds, but the kiddies must of thought it was just a convoy of trucks cause they slept - well - like babies.
4. The rent is WAY CHEAP even for Mexico.
5. The tub, albeit ugly green and not a jacuzzi, is huge and a girl can really get a soak on.
6. I love the granny suite, we tore up it's bathroom because it was all set up wrong and was molding, but otherwise it is a complete little studio apartment. Sure is nice to have a place like that for visitors and grandma!
7. We have 3 functioning toilets, so there's never a line
8. One of said toilets is outside on the "patio", it's the one bathroom that people who stay in the granny suite use. It's separate from the house. I like that. It provides more privacy for both visitor and us.
9. Said bathroom has a urinal in it :-)
10. I find the inside of this house is lovely.
11. It has lovely windows in the kids room and the living room.
12. Since it is walled off from the world, we don't need/use curtains.
13. It is 10 blocks from the ocean.
