New Family Members
This morning we had two new family members delivered. A new fridge and stove. Both are new but from a ding and dent center. Why not save a little money, huh? These avocado lovelies came with the house 12 years ago and who knows how old they are. They still worked fine but little things were breaking down such as one of the stove handles was held together with super glue.
They will take a little getting used to. I miss a side by side but with the space confinement we weren't able to go with something that size. It was hard cramming everything into the top freezer. We had to throw some things away which I suppose needed to go anyway.
And I will miss the storage drawers in the stove. A large one on the side and a bottom drawer held everything we needed although the oven itself was smaller. This new smaller stove made us totally clean all cupboards out in order to rearrange pots and pans to fit. I guess that's one way to clean a kitchen. And I didn't realize that the oven is not self-cleaning. My husband mentioned it while we were looking but I said in my all-knowingness that pretty much all ovens are that way now. Ha, guess not.
One thing I will really miss is the extra plug our old monster had that you could use to plug in smaller appliances when needed. I had my toaster oven sitting on the stove plugged in ready to go.
I wish I had taken my time to look more now. I'm usually a very smart consumer and take my time making decisions, but occasionally I am impulsive and buy things just because I have the money and I'm afraid if I don't buy NOW, then it will be gone.
But it will all work out after a little adjustment period. I will adjust tonight by going out to dinner and not cooking with it.
And damn I had to go buy more butter because everything was so rushed that I left butter and God knows what else in the butter drawer and they took it with them. It's just a good think that we don't hide money in our fridge like some people do. Money? What money? Oh yea, the money I just spent on a mini fridge and stove. OK, I'm starting to ramble now so I think I'll go take the dog for a walk.
