Yesterday....what a day. My house looked so lovely! I cleaned and my kitchen sparkled...*bling-bling*. And then it happened. My freezer stopped working. When I got home from the symphony, the freezer was making a strange kind of grating sound. And there was a bit of water on the floor. So, I summoned all the appliance repair knowledge in my brain....and hit the ice maker, HARD, a few times. Can you believe that didn't work? I was stunned....but it did quiet down a bit. When hubby came home I showed him, and he found some ice in the fan and pulled it out. It whirred again, silently. We were elated! I went on to serve my delicious dinner....ham, sweet potatoes and green bean casserol (a dry run for Thanksgiving). After that, the wee one was bothering me for ice cream. As I pulled the carton out I though....boy this is soft! And then I stepped in the PUDDLE of water. Once again the freezer stopped freezing....and the fridge stopped, uh, fridg-ing. So, hubby and I went to Lowe's and came home with my brand spankin new, 25 cubic foot, Whirlpool side-by-side refridgerator. It is LOVELY! So clean and beautiful. The fridge we had was okay, but it came with the house and the lady apparently wasn't as obsessive as I am with cleaning, (ewww). So, although I spent $800 that I didn't have, (thank God for plastic), I do have a new fridge. I didn't want to pay $200 toward a repair on an old one, you know? I mean, don't I deserve a new one???? I am the one who uses it to hold the food that I prepare to sustain my family. And anyway, we are going on a long weekend, and I don't want to come home to melted meat and clumpy milk. By the way, I helped hubby load and unload and navigate into the kitchen this new, hulking fridge. No delivery man needed here! Of course, I am sitting here with an ice pack on my back....kept frozen by my new fridge!
