Damn You Fridge....

Ok, I am going to just dive right into this blog because I am a little peeved about the appliance situation. So, Jon went and picked up the fridge from Brand Smart last night on his way to talk to some dude about some freelance work. I had a LONG day at work and then got an old but familiar message from an old friend...and it was not a good one. I had to go check on a friend to make sure she was okay and it just went downhill from there. I finally get on my way home and get a call from my dad - I HAVE to come by my parents house ASAP. I am like, 'what the hell...blah, blah.' In any event, I swing by the fam's house on my way home and learn my mom is having a CAT scan on Wednesday (tomorrow) for her stomach issues and they hope to find something wrong so they can address it. And best of all, she has failed to tell my brother and I so we are not even supposed to know she's having the damn thing. She has been struggling with stomach issues for years and it's she will be at the forefront of my thoughts all day on Wednesday!

My dad is explaining this situation to my brother and I and meanwhile Jon is calling me on his way home with the freakin fridge on the back of his truck. I finally meet him home and our friend comes (Zeeks - thanks, buddy) over to hang out and (unknowingly) help us get the fridge into the house. The fridge is finally in the kitchen and installed and......I am completely underwhelmed! I am so tired and preoccupied to even say anything to Jon at this point but I am severely upset. The freakin fridge does not even MATCH our damn dishwasher. Thanks, saleslady from Brand Smart. She was selling us on the fact that it was not only stainless steel, but titanium, meaning it would not get fingerprints. Little did that beeyotch mention that titanium is a completely different look and feel from regular stainless steel. Now, I am pissed. Then, I notice the sides of the fridge which were completely not on my radar when we were in Brand Smart. How am I supposed to see the sides of the fridge's at Brand Smart when they are side-by-side. My dumbass assumed they were black on the side, not this cheap, hideous looking 'stainless wannabe' crap. I mention it to Jon (finally) and he thinks I am a little crazy. Whatever, his ass will still be at Brand Smart on Saturday morning returning the damn thing.

However, I get an email this morning from him saying he thinks we should return it. He finally noticed how heinous it was and the fact that it looked like I painted the side of the fridge in some sort of gray color. So, we are returning that thing and getting a new one on Saturday, along with our new gas range and microwave. Zeeks - if you don't have plans on Saturday, we might need your help:) Kidding....

Anyway, I took a few photos of the fridge so you can see what we will happily be returning on Saturday. Well, Jon is not going to be happy getting that thing back in the truck but we'll get it. Anyway, that's my appliance update. I clearly have more important things to think about than appliances but thought I would share my mishaps on the blog:)

Will update soon.....
