I am. I’m in love. ♥♥♥ And it’s life-changing.
Never, in my wildest dreams, did I think I would fall so hard so fast. I can only hope it’s reciprocated.
I’ve had a taste, and I can’t go back. At this moment, I feel like I would be crushed and breathless if things didn’t work out. To say I would be devastated would be a gross underestimation of the facts. I just cannot imagine.
Yesterday, after doing it for the first time in my life, I was literally euphoric; riding high. I swear- I could feel the rush of endorphins when they hit; leaving me content and completely satiated, yet totally jazzed.
Yes, that’s right. I am in love, and I don’t care who knows it!
Yesterday afternoon, I bought 20 gallons of milk; two week’s worth. I came home and not only did I have room for all of them, but I probably could have gotten them into the new fridge in the house. 😆 We started off with 13 gallons in the fridge; and are now down to 11. As you can see, we haven’t moved all the contents of the old fridge (which is in the garage) in yet, so I wanted to allow space for that.
Why is this so life-changing? Am I just being dramatic? 😆
Y’all know I don’t like shopping- of any kind- right? My normal grocery shopping consists of weekly trips to Walmart, Sam’s Club, and sometimes other stores, depending on sales. And I hate every single minute of it. Truly, I despise shopping, particularly grocery shopping, because I’ll just have to waste an entire afternoon again next week.
The new fridge, however, allows me to be able to do two weeks worth of shopping at one time. Yay!
It’s a total time-saver! What a deal! I’ll have to make a list (because, you know, I love my lists, too :lol:) and itemize all the different things I can do with those extra 6 hours a week. And, it will save me gas, too!
Lest you think I’m being a bit silly, let me tell you that I am not the only one in love with the fridge. Yep. Hunny’s in love with it too!
Last night, he spent playing around with the ice/water dispenser. He learned quite a bit. Like, for example, not only is the water coming out chilled to 34 degrees, but you can set your water level and walk away. Want 8 ozs of water? Punch it in. Have a bigger glass and want 20 ozs? Punch it in. It also converts to liters.
And there is mood lighting, ooo la la! There are three different lighting settings- and that’s just for the ice/water dispenser! 😆 Not to be outdone, the fridge has mood lighting of its own. Not only are there multiple lights throughout (so you can actually see all the stuff in the fridge from top to bottom, including everything in the produce drawers), but it’s “sensitive” lighting. 😆
Gone are the days of scorching your eyeballs in the middle of the night when you need a snack! Nope! When you open this fridge, it’s kind enough to start with dim lighting and gradually get brighter, allowing your pupils to adjust without pain! They weren’t kidding, calling this the “Gold” edition. 😀
Although, we have to say- we do have one whine that we’ll just have to suck up and deal with. There may be a way (but we haven’t found it yet, so we have to count this as a non-option), but at this point it does not look like we can choose the size of out ice cubes, as we had seen in other models. Boo. 😆 I suppose that’s the trade-off, now that I’m thinking about it.
I have to concede that it was worth the wait. They were supposed to be here yesterday at 10:30. By 1 pm, I was again, getting annoyed. Fortunately, they called to say they were on their way, which I appreciated. They had 10 more deliveries after mine. 😯
But lucky me! Sears called again last night to let me know my delivery would be here today sometime between 10:30 am and 12:30 pm! 😆
Nope. I’m not gonna wait on them this time. I am going to enjoy being in love………… ahhhhhhhhhhhhh………………
I am so envious and actually in awe I didn’t know such a thing existed! Mood lighting!! You are lucky! Happy V day!!
😆 Ya, we had no idea, either! We knew it had a digital display, but no idea of all the stuff it does. I’m considering this to be my v-day’s gift.
Quote for the morning from my 7 yr old: “When you and Daddy kiss, it burns off calories. That is soooo weird.” 😆 😆
Totally off topic, lol, but that was the next sentence she said after something refrigerator related. Wheeee!
HAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHA! When I saw the title, I laughed my ass off! It’s gone see!? LOL 🙂 I knew you were talking about your fridge.
Hey, can you get up early and go food shopping while the store is empty? I do that and it’s wonderful. Completely empty store, my iPod and good music. No lines, no fuss, no muss.
OMG look at all that milk! I’ve never seen so much milk in a fridge, cept at the store. LOL :)) I like that pupil thing too, that’s a very cool feature.
Congratulations on your new love. hahahaha!
Thank you! The being newly smitten is a wondrous occasion to behold. 😆
This afternoon, the kids learned the new love can be set to dispense cups of water. As in, how many cups do you need for this recipe? They checked this several times and determined that the measurement was accurate every time. 😆
I used to do my shopping in the morning, and it’s quiet. I don’t even care about that. I seriously don’t care about how busy it is, although quiet is definitely better, lol. No, I just hate shopping. It wouldn’t matter if I was the only person in the store. it’s just pointless, you know? I mean, you spend all that time and money just to turn around and do it again in a week. Obviously, the alternative (death from starvation) is enough of a motivating factor to get me to do it, but I sure don’t like it. 😆
I learned a long time ago that I need to run in the morning, before I have to 1) run out energy or 2) talk myself out of it. For me, it’s just easier to get it done with and then move on with the rest of the day. And that is why I don’t go anywhere in the mornings as a rule…. 😀
Whatever makes you happy honey 🙂 I don’t like errands, I put them all together as early as possible as many as possible and then if I can, I get it done in one day. Leaving, of course, many others free from that nonsense…
Yah 🙂 Starvation is a motivating factor LOL 🙂 This is true!
I’m glad you guys are enjoying your new love!
That’s what I do- it’s such a pain to be having to run for something every day of the week, for sure. I used to do it in the morning, and not run that day, but anymore, I’d rather run and do it later in the day. And hope maybe hunny will go with me on Saturday…… 😆
That really is cool, but… you drink ten gallons of milk per week!? You need some cows to hang out with the chickens. 🙂
Ya, I know, right? 😆 We do at least a gallon a day; it is the drink of choice around here! Maybe that’s why hunny isn’t keen on pushing to get out to the country….. he already knows I have my eye on a particular kind of goat (Nigerian Dwarf- about the size of a mid-sized dog) and we’ve often joked about just getting a cow because it’d be cheaper. Well, it might have been until we hit the drought we’re in now…..
And then, I think we’d need a donkey, too, because they are good chicken guardians for canine predators….. hmmmm….. see how this works with me? 😉 😆
It looks beautiful! I must admit that your relationship with your fridge has left me feeling a little disappointed in mine with my fridge. At least I know that I am not the only one who has very strong feelings about her appliances. Your quote from your 7 year old is so cute too…by the way. 😉
You know, usually I don’t get emotionally wrapped up…… but when the kids discovered it could measure by the cup- well, I just really wanted to give it a hug. 😆 I have several plastic measuring cups that have the printing worn off, which left me using the individual measuring cups and being frustrated that $3 measuring cups hadn’t lasted me longer. 😉 But now, I don’t have to worry! I can use them! Well, I can use them if *I* can figure out how to program the fridge…… lolololol.
Ya, 7 year olds come up with some great quotes, don’t they? I teach our homeschoolers class (the younger kids) for our women’s Bible study, and last week I asked, ” Who knows what occult means?” and was really surprised when everyone said, “I do!” Indeed, they told me it meant “a baby horse.” 😆
This age can be frustrating, but usually mostly really fun. 😀 I’m still laughing about that one….. which led to……… Why did the colt go to the doctor? (Because he was a little horse.) 😆
20 gallons of milk?!? Wow, I was convinced you were in love with milk baths.
😆 We really do ♥ our moo juice! 😀
May I just say: that is a lot of milk.
Well, interestingly, it seems like the law of “running out of” has gone into effect in reverse. Usually, when we are getting ready to run out of something, that’s all everyone wants, which then, makes us run out faster. I’m pretty sure the thinking is “I’d better get some now before we run out and I don’t want to be the only one who hasn’t gotten any this minute.”
But now that we have a ton, everyone is slowing down. What’s up with that? It must not mean as much if we have an abundance. 🙄 This last week, I think I only got 14 gallons, and we’re finally on the last gallon of that original splurge. Heh. Oh hey. Maybe it’s because I didn’t ration them. I’ll have to try it and make a difference, although they’ll probably just roll their eyes and say “You do know we have 10 more gallons in the old fridge, right?” Logic. Gets ya comin’ and goin’. 😉
Thanks for stopping by! 😀
