Drama in my life..

Drama? No, nothing personal or anything like that.. just refridgerator drama. Our refridgerator tends to stop working for moments of time, ranging from an hour or so, to a few days.. I had to throw out an entire shopping trip the other week. That pissed me off to no end. I tend to do a "big shop" when its payday, and a REALLY big shop once a month. You know where you get the condiments and stupid stuff that lasts for a long time? Well, the other week, the fridge shut down after the "really big shop" and it all went in the trash, including 3 bottles of formula. So, its now time for a new fridge. Since we're moving, we are taking our new fridge with us. We plan on buiding on, and having the kitchen re-done, so we are not worried about the size.
Last Saturday (still September) we went out, and did some comparison shopping. Found an Amana french door model that we liked. Turns out that Boscovs had the best deal, plus it was register roulette and I saved 5%. Pretty good deal, and delivery was set up for WEDNESDAY, with a phone call on Tuesday to verify. Tuesday came and went, and on Wednesday we got the call to set up for THURSDAY! Long story short, John told them to shove it. We went back to Boscovs on Friday night and got our money back.

So, 2 weeks with a busted fridge, and no new fridge in sight. Ours is working for now, but we can't count on it. I've been going to the grocery store everyother day. Its a total pain in the ass. Now John has his sights on a Bosch.. and its just driving me nuts. Nothing like spending every weekend on the hunt for a refridgerator!

DUCK!

Remember when you, or your baby had a favorite toy? You know the one you can't be without? For me, it was Old Bear. The pink teddy bear that had a music box built in. That poor bear (yes I still have it) was so loved, that he has no fur left on him. We used to bandage him up when the material started to rip.

Well, I don't have to worry about that with Emma. Her favorite toy is the rubber duckie that tells you if the bath water is too warm! How did we figure that out? Well, she was crying one day, and nothing made her happy. I figured she was teething, but John went upstairs and brought down "duck".. tears turned into smiles. Enjoy some of our "Duck" pictures...
