Magnets

I just moved in my apartment a few months ago and I am sad. Now, don't get me wrong. I love my bedroom, my view, my closet, my doorbell--I love everything but just one thing.

My fridge is stainless steel and as a result, it is not magnetic. I don't pride myself in much, but I do like to brag about my magnet collection from time to time. What a shame it is not to display some of my most prized possessions for everyone to see.

As soon as I realized my fridge was not magnetic, I had a mission--I had to find something glorious to put my magnets on.

At first I could not find a large surface for everything, so I decided to spread the love and put magnets wherever they would stick. So, I started with my toaster. My toaster has my alligator chip clips that I cherish so much.

My "monkey expression" magnet was just too big for the other side of my toaster, so I put that on my laundry machine.

There is a metal vent above my stove that I have discovered has regions of magnetism, so as I dust off my magnet collection, I will be sure to put some there.  

Also, there is an area about one inch long and half an inch tall on my oven that will hold very weak magnets.  

This whole episode has distressed me greatly.  I just really wanted to have that stereotypical fridge with random and absurd magnets on it.  To me, that is the mark of a home that is lived in.  But, I kinda like the way my magnets are spread out all over the place now.  It means that I will stumble upon them more often and they will give me little bursts of happiness throughout the day.  

So friends, if you are reading this and are upset because you, too, have a stainless steel fridge, fret not.  Follow my lead and share your magnets with your oven and dryer--it's more interesting to spread the love.  

...And how many people do you know(except me) who put magnets on their laundry machines?  Not that many, right?  

Even if your fridge is magnetic, I propose you find other places for your collection.  Let's start a revolution and make fridge magnets a thing o the past.
