Celebrating 11 Years!


So instead of grieving the loss of my precious fan I have decided to celebrate its life. For the past 11 years this beloved fan has lulled me to sleep with its sweet comforting sounds. But last night around 12:30am it came to an unexpected halt. It was starting to make some pretty weird noises and I decided to put it out of its misery(tear).

I bought the fan in the fall of 1997(my freshman year at OSU) at Big Lots for about 8 bucks! I was having trouble sleeping in my dorm room with my 3 other roommates(I was always the first to bed because I had a 7:30am class!) I loved how the purple and green matched my comforter. The fan has moved about a dozen times with me since then and helped lull not only me but several roommates and my husband to sleep. I remember when Jason and I got engaged I asked him if he was OK with the fan...luckily he said yes!

I really really loved my fan and have seen few nights without it! So thank you fan-for helping me sleep so soundly for over 3000 nights! You were one of the best 8 dollars I have ever spent.

I wonder if CVS sales fans?

Oh, NO! I might just cry! I remember you bringing that fan with you to FOCUS and we roomed together. It IS a nice one, and I love how the "purple and green matched your comforter." Do you still have that comforter? because it sounds classic.
