Water, water everywhere but not a drop to drink.

I hate drinking water.  I can't put a peg on why that is, but it was never something I willingly wanted to drink.  Maybe it has to do with growing up poor and not often having other options around, so it was either go without or drink water.  Well, I think in my stubborness, I'm more apt to go without.  So in my effort to try and be healthier, I'm trying to drink water.  This is not some simple task mind you.  I can be very stubborn.  (Hence, why I'm in the situation I'm in, in the first place).  So I have this Brita bottle that has a cute little built in filter and I can get tap water, fill the bottle, then suck the heck out of this bottle to get water.  It sucks. 

But I can't see the justification of spending money on water.  I already spend money on water.  It comes out of my faucets at my house.  I pay for that.  I shouldn't have to pay for "drinking water" from the grocery store just because they say it's better and packaged in cute little bottles.  On the other hand, the water that comes out of the faucet tastes funny.  Also, the pipes in my house are quite old and who knows what kind of chemicals have leached out and are swimming around down there.  So therein lies my dilemma.  So for now, I choose to filter water.  But I don't drink enough.  I will most certainly pass on the water at the table for any other choice.  I might drink it if it's there, but I'm pretty much never going to walk into a restaurant and order a water. 

So here I am, sitting at my desk, looking at that pitful water bottle.  I've drank most of one today, but I don't see it happening again.
