Just so happy today, I could burst! What a fantastic afternoon. So I had my lunch at Eldo today that was so fun and I was able to pick the family pictures for my Christmas cards. It was hard to not go nuts with all of the amazing shots that April Geyer Durnil took of our family. Cannot.wait.to.get.them!
After that I was dreading the DMV to turn in hubby’s license plates. It took all of 3 minutes. Seriously it took longer to park than to turn ’em in. Made my day!
So i’m heading home pondering why the replacement microwave/wall oven unit is incredibly expensive and right before Christmas, but after the space fridge purchase. On a whim I walk into Sargents Maytag Store on Rock to check out what they had since they had “sale” and “closeouts” all over the window. I thought maybe I’d find something lower cost that would fit in this stupid space in my kitchen. The one I want is a Kitchenaid. I’ve picked this one for a variety of reasons. It is also over 3k. Definitely not in the budget at the holiday season (or ever really). So I walk in, just to check it out, explain what I’m looking for and they tell me they can probably order it and it’s still over 3k. So I start looking around the store since they have new, discontinued, and scratch and dent stuff. Still hoping that somthing will jump out at me. Nestled in the back is the EXACT Kitchenaid that will fit in my space and the one I want. It is scratch and dent marked down from $3,549 to $2,299. I about faint. Seriously. I also have a 27″ oven and the most common is 30″. This one IS the 27″. Sherri starts to freak out. Scares the nice guy behind the counter. I told him I’d take it. Right now. So, long story short, I think karma was on my side today. AND nice guy (Chris) behind the counter is extending his day to come and install my new oven tomorrow afternoon. Even better that I could not find one scratch or dent. Happy, happy girl, got a great deal and am supporting a locally owned company. Happy Friday to the McVey’s!
