dancerjodiSo we went for it, we bought the Kenmore Elite (and in Stainless, no less). I feel so decadent buying the most expensive fridge that Sears sells :) But we've had lots of luck with all the stuff we've bought from them before, there was no finance charge for one year AND the woman took $300 off of the price (I guess on Saturday it was on sale and even though we were there on Sunday, she gave us the sale price anyway. So on March 30th you can all come over and see this monstrosity. It will make our kitchen look even *more* silly in its ugly old state (except, with a sexy stove and fridge).
B and I picked up some meat at Roche Bros and had our first cook-out of the season with Bad Andy (he was over to play in the garage). I'm so excited about actually being able to enjoy our yard this year; last summer we spent all free time inside the house doing the massive rewiring/renovation project.
Oh my God - my Dad called yesterday and asked if we wanted their swimming pool! Its an above ground, 4 foot deep pool (the largest above ground you can buy - its oval shaped). It will be a bit of work to get it but I just swooned over the thought of cook-outs and peaceful floating with friends over the summer. Its so nice to be able to jump in after a day at work and long, sweaty drive home in the traffic. We'd need to get a plot plan, need to do some prep in the yard (like, digging up the lawn where the pool will go) and would need to fence in the yard so that little neighborhood kids couldn't fall in and drown. Dad said once snow thaws they'll take the fun task of emptying and disassembling the thing, and then will bring it over to our house. Then we'd need a crew to help us get the thing up.
So very odd, a free swimming pool! I need to call my Dad to tell him we will take it (we wanted to think about it a bit) and then will need to get the planning rolling. I'm hoping to get both one of those vacuums that goes around the bottom of the pool by itself AND a heater (I think above-ground pool technology has come a long way since my parents first got this one over 15 years ago, I *think* you can get heaters for above-ground pools now).
So we could have the netgoth pool party part II! I'd show you pix from the last one (1997, I think) but B moved them or something on the server and they aren't linked to my website where they previously lived :/
Freaky!
