thankful: november 16.

i am thankful for holiday appliance sales.  ha!  when we bought this house, the washer and dryer conveyed and they have been awful.  you have to run the dryer like 3 times to dry a normal load, so our electric bill is through the roof, too.  the dishwasher is terrible as well - dishes don't get clean, and everything smells like the soap didn't really get rinsed off...it's just not a good scenario.  plus, having a baby and all the ridiculous sickness we've had in our house for what feels like months....i just feel like we need good, effective appliances to do all the cleaning we need to do.  so, new stuff was what i decided we needed/wanted for our anniversary.  it will end up being christmas too, i think, but i feel like it's worth the investment.  anyway...back in october, i started looking and researching and this awesome old man named ralph at home depot told me to come back around november 10 for early black friday sales.  well, we headed over last weekend and found out that he was not lying.  we saved literally hundreds of dollars on the exact stuff we wanted!  so, everything got delivered today and i am going to be rocking some hard core laundry for several days, i think.  it's amazing the stuff i get fired up about now that i'm a mom.
