Yes,

So 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.

( We're getting a swimming pool! )

Here's the pix from our old pool party (97, I think):

So,

How can I amuse myself in this lovely weather from 4:00 to 6:30 and even (possibly) do homework at the same time?

Does anyone know if the 1369 in Central has outside tables yet? I kind of feel rude hanging in a coffee shop for >2 hours if all I'm buying is some tea and perhaps a cookie.
