At this time last year, we were scraping by financially as we launched Jamie’s new web development business, had been sick for six weeks straight and, welp, remember the lice?
Fast-forward one year and we have been finally soaking in the sun’s rays. This week is the culmination of many glorious things including:
*The final season of LOST is here.
*My favorite show The Amazing Race starts again on Sunday.
Though I still haven’t forgiven CBS for banning Canucks from entering.
*I’m leaving for the Olympics on Thursday morning and will begin my daily posts about my many experiences.
*My new Frigidaire dishwasher arrived yesterday. Several months ago, I applied to be a part of Mom Central’s Frigidaire Test Drive and recently learned I am on Team: Dishwasher.
I’m sure Team USA’s Olympic athletes will be impressed.
It was like Christmas when Mr. Repairman came to install my free dishwasher. I even skipped out on my workout in honor of peering over his shoulder to watch the installation.
‘Twas truly a day of celebration.
Of course, imagine my horror to find five year’s worth of junk hiding underneath our old dishwasher. I was even more horrified that Mr. Repairman was going to simply place our new Frigidaire on top without letting me clean it out.
But the end result is a clean floor and one great lookin’ dishwasher. After my 10-day stint at the Olympics, I’ll be writing a few humorous blog posts about my experiences with it.
I ran my first load of dishes last night and it actual cleaned them.
It’s already a step ahead of my previous dishwasher.
