  • Hubby and I were sitting in the computer room last night,
    playing computer games (“Same thing we do every night, Pinky!”) when Hubby
    heard this very strange noise.  The
    little white dog was not in the computer room with us, and so he immediately
    figured she was doing something weird. 
    She wasn’t - she was chewing on the large plastic bone.  I figured her enthusiastic chewing was the
    cause of said strange noise.  (It kind of
    sounded like she was chewing on the table legs, but the noise wasn’t constant. 

    This morning Hubby went upstairs to begin his morning
    routine and found a dead refrigerator. 
    Yep, lucky us, the fridge was the thing making that chewing/grinding
    noise.  Loads of food slowly defrosting…water
    all over the floor.  Not a good scene. 

    We tried to salvage some of the food.  It is presently sitting in a cooler in the bathroom
    with the last bit of ice from the freezer. 
    Will any of it be fit for consumption after today?  No clue. 
    I’d guess probably not. 

    So, what did we do? 
    We spent our lunch hour at the local Lowe’s looking at
    refrigerators.  Hubby had called around
    and they had the best prices by far, so that is where we went.  Found one, too.  I love it. 
    So sleek and shiny and pretty. 
    (Who the hell gets excited about a refrigerator?  Geez. 
    I need to get a life.)  It is a
    really nice Maytag, freezer on bottom, French-door style model.  Filtered water in the fridge, ice maker, a
    large, flat “deli-drawer,” pull-out wire drawers in the freezer, and TWO fruit
    and veggie drawers.  A shelf that can be
    adjusted for height with a crank on the front of said shelf.  Oh, it is a very nice fridge.  25 cubic feet!!  Yes, I know it is just the two of us, but we
    really NEED this big fridge.  Plus the
    smaller one didn’t have all the cool features. 

    Ok, geeking out over the fridge here.  Must get a grip! 

    Yes, it is a very expensive fridge.  But (as L’oreal says) I’m worth it.  Or at least my food is worth it.  *grin*
