Beautiful Blue Bucket

Ah, my beautiful blue mop bucket!   I know it's slightly off topic, but I want to tell you about my adoration of my beautiful blue mop bucket.

First of all, my bucket has wheels and a handle.  How awesome is that?

It fits in my sink for when I'm filling it up.  It even has lines to tell you how much water it has inside.

But the most beautiful thing is the story about how I got it.  A couple weeks ago, we embarked on a round of home improvement projects.  One of them was tiling the backsplash behind the stove. My husband needed a container for the morter.  He asked me to find one of the old 5 gallon buckets from previous projects, but there was a problem: they were all quite dirty.  Finally he said, "Don't we have a white one that came from Ace Hardware a long time ago?"  I said, "Yes, but it's my mopping bucket."   He assured me he would buy me a new mop bucket and the deal was sealed.

Soon afterwards, I was at the home improvement store and was picking out a new mop (my old one had broken) when I remembered my husband's promise.  Believe it or not, the new mop would only fit in this one bucket!  The fanciest bucket in the store!  With wheels!  And a handle!  And lines!

Yup, I bought that bucket, and I used it for the first time recently, and you know what? It was great : )
