In just a few hours, my bf's family is coming to visit for our belated Xmas.

A few months ago, our Fridge started to die- water was pooling beneath the crisper drawers. Now, this fridge came with the house and prolly is about 25 years old, so this was no surprise. So, we planned to buy a new one with our tax refund.

In early December, my bf's sister-in-law called to ask us what we wanted for Xmas. Smart-ass that I am I said we wanted a Fridge and laughed really hard. Well, 5 days later his mom called and asked if we really wanted one. So, his family all pooled their money together, bought a fridge and are delivering it today!

It's rumored to be a nice side-by-side with ice and water on the door. They are coming today with all the tools and materials to put in the fridge, connect the water and we will be good to go!



I CAN'T WAIT! I'm driving my bf this morning. I've been up since 8, have already emptied out our OLD fridge and am just climbing the walls. It'll be so nice to have a fridge that isn't COMPLETELY covered with magnets to hide the rust

Hooray!


So, what's some fun new stuff other's have gotten lately?

Can I get the magnets?

Congrats...that's really great. I was going to add "why won't the landlord replace it" and then I saw you are in a house.

superspaceboy said:

yeah, we ARE the landlords. Our tennant has been yelling at us for a month to fix it

superspaceboy said:

and....gotta go, IT'S HERE!!!!!

I so know the feeling.
Remember the friend that said I could have his 'stuff' from the appartment he is going to sell?
It is waaaaay more than I imagined!
A sofa, a matching chair, a HUUUUUGE tv, another tv, another tv, a dvd player, kitchen utensils, a bed, a cupboard, a couch/bed thingie, four bookcases, all the curtains, plants, a tv cupboard, a desk chair....

It's like winning the lottery!

Ooh, did I say washing machine, dryer? And another clothing cupboard? And four chairs? And a table?

Shall I stop?

well, i really like my new jeans they are pretty damn cute.

I am now the proud owner of five televisions...
I am going to sell three!
Oh no, two, cuz Barry wanted one.

Playing innocent does not suit naked piano players.

HamsterHuey said:

I'm excited for your new fridge too. I'm excited to not have to fill your Brita anymore.

CarrieMpls said:

I know a girl named Brita....

CarrieMpls said:

She is taller than I am and she is my new staying over address in Durban!

Nice. If you ever invite me and Amy over perhaps we'll bring some soyburgers as a fridge warming gift

My grandmother recently died and left me her car. I choke up everytime I think about it because I'm the only grandkid who got anything and it's a really nice car. It's really an amazing gift. I'm looking forward to having everything work on my car for a change The only thing that would be better is if my grandma was still here.

lovemachine said:

I think that was a hint, darin!





Sorry for your loss.

CarrieMpls said:

Was I that obvious.

As for my Grandma yeah it's awful for the family but she had not been very happy since my Grandpa died and her health was failing so...

I keep finding myself wanting to call her on the phone so obviously it will take a while to get used to it. It's just that me and my Grandma have always been very tight since I was a young boy. Endo's story about the incredible gift just made me think of my own incredible gift.

It definitely takes a while. My grandmother and I were very close also. She died years ago and I still miss her. (And I still remember her phone number... )

I have moments I think "Have to call my mum!" and then reality jumps me.
