A busy week

This week our fridge died. I have been writing the word fridge all week, and I can't tell if it should be with or without a "d". My suspicion is to include the "d" but when the word refrigerator doesn't have a "d" it doesn't make sense logically to me. I digress.

So this week has been a little stressful trying to keep our existing food cold- and having to do all the other busy things this week (file at small claims court, all day conference yesterday) and pick out and accept a new fridge. We picked out one that we will really enjoy. We are both so happy with it- and best of all, it's cold!!

We have a slight problem though. The fridge is too big for our doorways. Yikes! So now we have a space in our kitchen, and a fridge in our dining room. We are hosting Thanksgiving, so we better have a solution soon! (although it makes grabbing a forgotten item from the fridge really easy to retrieve!) The actual resting place of the fridge will be the back area of our house- so not in the kitchen proper- but a room we use for pantry items- a fridge doesn't really fit in the spot it was, because there is a radiator against the wall in front of it, and you can't open anything completely without hitting it! The freezer in the old fridge never opened completely- so anything larger then 5 inches across had to be tilted to fit. Makes it hard when you've made a meal and then want to freeze it- you've got to have the spot, tip it quickly and then slide it in....so all that is the reasoning to temporarily move it to the back room, until we redo the kitchen this spring. So we have to take off the back door then call Sears to come back and "complete" the delivery.

Here's a little photo, taken with my phone of what it looks like right now:
