Feel Good Friday...

Wow! What a long week!

Sorry for the radio silence.

This week was weird. The holiday in the middle really threw things off. Essentially we had two Fridays and two Mondays. The Monday part sucked, but going from second Monday to second Friday was pretty awesome.

Anyway... Here's my list:

1. Surviving the massive heat this week. It was brutal. You all already know that though. Air conditioning is the best.

2. Oh - one of the biggest things that happened this week... On Sunday our fridge died. We were on our way to our granddaughter's birthday party and had to quickly pack up as much as we could and take them over to a friend's garage fridge. The rest we packed in coolers. Off to the birthday party we went and then a stop at Lowe's on our way home. We found a sweet deal on a new fridge, but... they couldn't deliver it until Tuesday.

Okay. Whatever. We'll make it one day with our coolers and million bags of ice. And we did. And then Tuesday morning, I get a call from the delivery supervisor... Our delivery person had an accident and they wouldn't be able to deliver on Tuesday after all.Disappointing, but it happens and it meant another million dollars in ice. The nice thing was that they delivered on Wednesday - on the holiday - and they were here by 7:30 am. By three, we were cold enough to get stuff loaded in there. Yes, technically, we were supposed to wait 24 hours, but there was no way that was going to happen. Besides, the food in the coolers was pretty darn cold.

We lost very little. A can of parmesan cheese that got water logged. A container of milk that we discovered was already expired when we put it in the cooler. A box of mushrooms that just went missing.

The new fridge is pretty sweet. It makes ice, which is awesome, but we still have to supplement because it's not keeping up with our usage yet. You know you're old when a new fridge is exciting. Ha!

3. The 4th was nice. We didn't really get to sleep in because of #2, but that's okay. We grilled and hung out with the kids. Took a nap.

4. Thursday (the new Monday) was brutal and long and an insomnia night for me. Yay! Ha!

5. That Man did the shopping and the cooking tonight (and last night). Lucky guy was off Thursday and Friday so he took care of everything - laundry, shopping, cleaning, the kitten...

6. Speaking of the kitten. He's getting so big. He's newly off the bottle. He's struggling with the litter box and he's equal parts demon and snuggle buddy. Currently, he's sleeping off a food binge. When he wakes, he'll be insane. And cute.

That's enough for now.

Behave!
