Appliances

Have you bought an appliance lately? Specifically an over-the-counter microwave/vent, refrigerator, or dishwasher?
We NEED new ones of each. I'm about to purchase GE and Whirlpool. Anybody had any bad experiences? I'd love any insights.

Where I stand now:
My current refrigerator periodically lightly defrosts the food, making it go bad more quickly, and the ice cream gets burned.
My current dishwasher is putting rust on my dishes. I've been pretending that it isn't, but now I'm worried I'm going to get lead poisoning or something. Plus it SUCKS. I have to wash the dishes before using them.
My current microwave heats things half as fast as our other broken microwave (that one doesn't light up on the display, and is not built-in). Plus, when you set the clock, it gains about 12 minutes a day. I doubt that the timer works correctly since it thinks the length of a minute is way shorter than a real minute.

I can't wait to have working shit.

Bunny, or Dee Dee, or something

We looked at siblings for Dexter. And we found "Bunny." There were others that really made me swoon, but this little girl and Dexter seemed to have the exact same personality.
I don't know for certain if she'll end up at our house, but I want her.

Do you Salute Me?

I rocked today.

The other day, Jim used a gift certificate to buy the notorious game Guitar Hero. I was dubious. I'll probably get annoyed and bored quickly, I thought. Jim is such a juvenile, I thought. Plus he knows how to play guitar already, so he's gonna kick my ass, I thought.

But, big surprise, I am now addicted to my new video game.

Kool Thing is really fun to play. And surprisingly, so is Welcome to the Jungle. It's interesting that I enjoy these songs while playing them on a video game, but would change them immediately if they came on the radio.

Today I even put on an off-the-shoulder number for the event.
eeeee!

Old Married Lady

So I get married, and three weeks later, my hip hurts. Wow. I think my fleugal valve is misaligned. Good thing I have tomorrow off.

I received my wedding pictures yesterday, and I'm ready to play with them tonight. Does anyone have any favorite internet photo how-tos? I've never done anything photo related online. Where do I put them? How do I get them printed? So far, Snapfish seems to be the most complete. But is there anything better? And how do I show them on here? I need to go html learnin'.

I'm probably going to do my initial beat-em-up brag book printing at Costco. I think I can send them from here, and pick them up tomorrow when I meet my HUSBAND for lunch in Gwinett. Or, as my 1st real boyfriend called it, "Gwinnitt."

I received the wedding video two nights ago. There sure was a lot of laughter at our wedding. I don't just mean the alcohol-induced kind. I mean, there were a good three laughs that I could make out:
1. A nice giggle as everyone heard the beginning notes to "Rainbow Connection."
2. Everybody laughing at my nervous laugh and plastered smile. You gotta understand - if I had moved, then I woulda cried!
3. During the toast during the ceremony, I turned around and laughed at the sight. Seeing my best friends and family in one frame, all with glasses raised, deserved a gasp/giggle.

All thanks to Todd J for the extremely awesome video. And Anne J for the extremely awesome pictures that were available to me immediately following the wedding. The J's rock.

Sunday Sunday

I love Sunday. I woke up, ate a piece of halloween candy, and sat down to watch My Name is Earl, and other shows that are soooo inappropriate at 7am (now, officially 6 am). But it was nice to cuddle alone with the dog for a quiet morning. Then we went back to bed. Until I awoke to Dexter walking up my body (1st step, the ankles. 4th step, the knees. he has short legs) to tell me that we were supposed to be on the couch, not the bed, now.

After a little more tv, we determined that this morning was a good one for brunch. We hadn't been to Wahoo (GREAT outdoor patio in Oakhurst) in a long time, so headed out. When I saw the number of cars out front, I decided the wait was too long, and we drove around to three other places before ending up back at Wahoo, where there wasn't a wait in the least. silly me.

Jim got the fried green tomato eggs benedict (the crispy piece of heaven replaces the muffin). While good, my eggs totally won. And why can't I make grits like that? Is it cream? I know it's more than just cheese and butter. They were ummy. (it's even better without the y)

Then I played a video game for a few hours.
Now I'm typing.
Soon I'm going to make macaroni and cheese - Kraft.
Tomorrow, I'll get us back to adult life. I promise.
