California Water 101

Perhaps you've heard. California tap water is pretty nasty. How bad could it possibly be? Take a look a look at this picture.



This is the sink in my bathroom. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the water shouldn't match the brown vanity. Kind of disgusting, don't you think? So I've started drinking only spring water. I'd get the purified drinking water, but isn't that what is SUPPOSED to be coming from the faucet?

Buying water is a new thing for me, and there's a lot of decisions that go into it. You can get any size from ridiculously large jugs that you can't lift to the individual bottles you can throw in your purse. Even if you just want a gallon, you have to choose if you want the milk jug size, the taller skinner size, or my favorite--the stackable weird bottles

They aren't quite a gallon (3 qt., 5.4 oz), but they are just so cool. If I had kids I would give the empty containers to play with instead of blocks. They interlock so you could build walls or even forts, not that I have any first hand experience with this. Though I have discovered that they make a lovely Christmas tree.


I'm thinking that if I remove the labels, add some lights, and throw on some tinsel, then I might just have the picture for my Christmas Cards.

I can't believe your water is brown--crazy!! We love those size water bottles too. They do make good toys for kids. :)

Ha, ha! But, oh - that's so gross! I would spend all my money on water if I lived in CA. It's essential but I could never drink that brown water. UGH!
