30 Seconds

That is how long a brand new refrigerator in my house is capable of staying clean.

30 seconds.

I had to laugh.

Our new refrigerator was delivered today while the boys were napping. Macalan woke up just as they were completing installation. The men were out of the house no more than 30 seconds when Macalan decides to clean his wet sticky hands on the refrigerator.

Really?

Wouldn't a towel, or even my thighs have done a better job?

Green Piece - We recycled our refrigerator. Instead of having the instant gratification of a nice tidy kitchen, we let our old one sit and clutter our newly "spruced up by a shnazy new fridge" kitchen for 24 hours. Small price to pay. And how fun that WE actually made money in the deal. This company pays YOU $50 for "letting" them recyled your old inefficent fridge! Now...if I could get my hands on the information of what they actually do with these old refrigerators I'd feel much better about this ecological contribution.

Hi! A new fridge - how fun! At least you caught the new "mess" on it before it had a chance to dry! : )

Just wanted to make sure you received my email listing your ornament swap partner's information. If you did not please check your spam filter - some have been getting stuck in there. If you still don't have it please email me.

Thanks!
