Sounds pretty good to me.
Chocolate, on the other hand, except in minute quantities...probably isn't diet friendly. But it's been that kinda day.
Heh...no, I don't think I'd seen that!
Friday was that sort of day.
We got a new microwave! A brand new "over the range" venti-hood type microwave to replace the one that busted! It's black! It has a popcorn button!
We used the balance of those gift cards we got for the dryer and ended up with about $6 left over! So we bought a new metal hose for our dryer...the one we had is plastic and they say they aren't safe.
The guy that was our salesman was the salesman that sold the dryer to the couple that bought it for us. We have no idea who the couple is though..we know they actually came in to the store and bought it.
He told us the couple spoke very highly of us...Steve got emotional, that's the way he is.
I'm stilled stuned. I have no idea.
Steve is putting it up right now.
I gotta new microwave! See above.
A great mystery :~D
Woo-hoo! I'm glad that worked out! I know you've been wanting one for a long time.
I'm going stir-crazy today, for some reason. Thinkin' about walking over to the mall, late as it is. Wonder if any of the places-I-didn't-apply-to-quite-yet would have a manager around to bug this late at night and on a weekend.
On the downside...I gotta go past places-I-applied-and-didn't-make-it. *sigh*
It's really somethin' for sure!
It's not a name-brand microwave, but the guy said it was made by the same company that makes Kennmore.
It's really exciting! You could tell the salesman was having a great time, once he figured out who we were. I recognized his name (which was on the dryer order slip which came with the gift cards.) He was tickled to death!
It's gotta make the sales guys feel good, too, to be a part of that. Neat that he got to meet you!
Oh yeah! We were laughing about it, telling him the story about how first the dryer went out, the oven, then the micowave!
*sigh* Entmoot was so much fun!
I'm glad the salesman shared what the couple said about y'all. It's good to have that affirmation!
Looks big, but space efficient. Nice.
Good evenin' everyone! :-D
2J - that is such a cool thing to happen, sis. It is going to be such a terrific story to tell your kids and grandkids. And it's so comforting to hear happy tales when good news seems so scarce at times.
Hair - I'm so glad you found and scanned that pic. ~sigh~ Entmoot seems so long ago but then again, seems like just yesterday.
osage - Glad to hear that LSA is recovering wonderfully! Give her our love.
What always amazes me is how it never seemed like I was meeting someone for the first time at the moots. It was just picking off where we'd left off on-line. And going from Entmoot to say, Shootmoot, or my mini-,moot with Hair, where in reality I hadn't seen any of the folks in a couple years (some not ever)...it gave a really odd sense of time warp. Sure didn't feel like it had been any time at all.
Does any of that make sense? Hm...
It's installed! Steve and I did it ourselves. I told Steve if we ever do build our own home on a farm, we'll sure know how to do a lot of stuff!
It is cool, Ruthy...the salesman said the couple that came in spent a lot of time looking over the dryers and picked one that would suit our needs.
I'm just astounded.
I wish I could tell them about the microwave! I am telling eveyone I know so hopefully it'll get back to them.
