It's Already Wednesday!?!

So, I feel like I just blogged yesterday and realized by the date of my last blog that it has been a week. So, let me back track and tell you what has been up...specifically with the kitchen appliances. First, my parents went down to Florida last Thursday and left the hellian that is my brother with Jon and I. Let me tell you....this kid is....well, probably like most 17, almost 18 year-olds....obnoxious as HELL! Anyway, he did at least come in handy with the fridge on Friday night. So, that leads me into Friday. First, it was SO nice outside, I definitely caught a small case of spring fever but that quickly passed once Jon called me at work and told me he was ready to get the appliances handled....that night!!

Man, for someone who refused to move any appliances at the sight of a rain drop, Jon certainly was ready to get this done...and after work on a Friday, mind you. Oh well....I didn't mind. I meet him at Brand Smart and he is already there with the same sales person that helped us before. Mind you, the same lady that sold us that henous fridge with the gray sides. However, I will say that I must have picked up out at least four fridge's that had that SAME crap on the side. What is the deal? Anyway, we finally found a great fridge and then picked out our gas range and microwave...all stainless steel....I was SO happy. We decided to have the gas range installed and delivered (even Jon was scared about blowing up our house). So, we took the fridge home and the rest of the stuff will be delivered on Saturday. YAY!!

But let me back track again. When I got to Brand Smart, I asked Jon what he did with the food in the fridge. I thought he may plug in the old fridge that is still sitting in the middle of our garage along with the dishwasher, and put the food in there while we got our new one. No such luck.....Jon was like, "Where in the hell do you think I put the food - it's on the kitchen counters!"

So I remind Jon to try and hurry home so we can get this done. On my way home, I realize I don't have a key to the house since we gave my brother a key and my garage clicker is in my car, which is STILL at the shop. So, I call my bro and tell him to meet me at our house in 15 minutes. I was even giving him more time since I was less than 10 minutes away. The I realize I needed to stop at CVS and pick up a few things, giving him even MORE time to meet me there. So, I pull up to the house and his car is not there. I call him and he says, "Yeah..I am just leaving now." So, non-chalantly...like it's no big deal. I am SO beyond annoyed but creep around the back of the house and notice that Jon did not lock the back door. YAY - success! Although, probably not a good thing leaving the back door unlocked. All I wanted was a beer at this point and when I see the beauty that is Budweiser Select....on the kitchen counter....I smile. I run to it (imagine a slow motion commercial) and grab one of the bottles....pop open the top....take a swig and.....it tastes like warm PEE!!! F#%k!!!!


Anyway, the rest of the weekend was fun. We hung out with friends, had a nice, lazy Sunday and my brother managed not to get into any trouble! I would say it was a successful weekend.

This week has been crazy at work but I refuse to talk about work on my blog. The weather has been SO beautiful. I am talking bright sunshine, highs in the high 70s...PERFECTION! So, I started walking/running outside in our neighborhood and some of the other neighborhoods around us and I have been loving it. I love seeing the neighbors wave, the kids outside playing (yes, I am still in full mommy-trying mode but I'll save that for another post) and just seeing people outside in general. I was very sad to hear that it's going to get colder and...gasp...rain for the next four or five days. Gross but I'll deal with it....

Anyway, I decided that I want to have Luis (our awesome painter) come and quote the kitchen and half bathroom downstairs to be painted. I have never liked the color of the kitchen and that wallpaper in the half bath is just nauseating. I am thinking about a color a few shades lighter than the dining room - I just love that color. I think we have decided to at least hold off on the granite in the kitchen....for now, anyway:) I think I want to stain the cupboards in the kitchen before I do anything (well, at least after it's painted). We're not made of money, peeps...we have to prioritize.

Stay tuned and I'll post pics of the new appliances this weekend. I feel like this appliance stuff has been going on forever.
