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?

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

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.

So, yup, the fridge did arrive yesterday. The water was connected to it with no problem and it's up and running!

All evening I just kept going into the kitchen to look at the fridge it's SWEEEET!

Good on you! Even though it is a mystery why you would plug a fridge onto a water system, but I am sure it's TRES American and has to do with icecubes or sumthing.

I have been sitting on my old couch, telling my cats how they are going to loooove the new couch and imagining how kewl that new tele is going to look.

LALA

I need to revisit the kitchen. I am thinking formal christening here. We need to bless your fridge!

Well, you still have to fill my Britta! But it's different now cos it's at YOUR house!

You should come over next weekend with Tackam. She's gonna help clean off my liquor counter!

Stop the clock! Isn't it like um 3F there right now? Is Miss Seattle REALLY planing to arrive in that weather??? She will have a whole new appreciation for Seattle weather!

I love you and all but just make sure the fridge doesn't die before spring and we will baptize it then!

Herman, I give all my unwanted appliances to the local hospice. I'm sure that your local hospice would love a couple of more TVs to put into their patients' rooms.

I gave them my old DVD player the other week, as I got a DVD Recorder for X-Mas.

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?

You guys just want to see the idiot freeze to death!

She has a point... I think for Muse's safety, spring or summer would be best.

CarrieMpls said:

Muse2NOPharaoh said:

You'd LOVE it here!

CarrieMpls said:

Hows your nose healing?

Muse2NOPharaoh said:

Quite well, actually. It did get slightly infected for a short while,but all is good now. Though I know from experience it will not heal completely, probably ever. I had it pierced before for about 5 years and even at the end if I took it for more than an hour or 2 it would start to close up.

violett said:

Is it like impossible? Like totally impossible?

Muse2NOPharaoh said:

i believe it is. everyone at my work picks our schedules once a year...vacations and everything...and weve already done it....if any ONE other person is on vacation...no one else can be. so it would depend on if anyone was on vaca....its a huuuuuge shot in the dark...i could look and see...but i seriously doubt it.....thats just the way it works....but orgnote me the dates...and i will look today and see if it can be moved....i really need a break from life...and this would be perfect....if it was possible to swing.
