I want you to meet my fans. I know what you are thinking, already? I also know what you are thinking...I am not talking about fans as in fans of this blog. I am talking about all of the fans in my house. I know weird right? But the hubby and I love fans.

I always grew up with a fan on in my room. It was a noise thing mostly. My mom is a light sleeper, and she didn't want to hear any noise, so we got fans because she didn't want us to hear anything and wake up either. Not sure if this was the same with the hubby, but when I came into the picture, he had no choice.

The hubby and I always had an overhead fan (you have to have one in Florida!), but that doesn't make any noise, unless it has a screw loose and then it becomes annoying. So, we started with one, the Brookstone air purifier that also has a fan in it. That was good, and fine, made a good amount of noise, didn't push out a lot of air for cooling.

Then the hubby and I decided we didn't want to run the air constantly, so we got the new Dyson bladeless fan. Wait don't call it a fan, it's an air multiplier. We have the osculate on us at night to keep us cooler. Our house is from the 40's so the insulation is not all that great, and I am a little bit of a cheap-o on things like AC. Material things I can hold okay maybe sometimes I will spend money on that, but paying for AC when I really can't touch it, I hate to do that. I am not sure if running more fans and less AC is really "cost conscious" though. But being "cost conscious" is a whole different conversation. Back to the multiplier, it makes a good amount of noise too! And it looks cool, so of course my hubby who is a sucker for packaging had to have it. (Paid with wedding gift cards of course. Cheap-o)

Just recently, with the heat already into the nineties and we are only in April, we broke down and are using another fan. This one is loud and pumps a lot of air. It's the shop fan from the garage. This is like the old school fan I had in my room when I was little. I had a smaller version, but it's the one that sits on the floor and really keeps you cool.

I know it's crazy to have four fans! And like I said I use them a lot for noise but if you can believe it I still hear things at night and wake up. Sometimes I wish I was a heavier sleeper (thanks mom). I doubt we will be adding another fan anytime soon, because well that would be just CRAZY.

And lastly, wanted to show you the bike is in the trainer and since it was nasty and rainy today, the trainer got a workout. To tie it back to the fan post, the shop fan was pointed on me my whole ride.

Anyway, have anything from your childhood that your parents started you on that has morphed and you have to do it in your adult life?
