Well hello there, sexy.

Say hello to our sexy new dishwasher. I've never been one to get excited over appliances until I owned my own house, survived the piece of shit that we own now, and been able to pick out this sexy beast (with one steal of a deal to boot!) Technically, we couldn't really afford it, but the checking account that I've had since I was 18 has this lovely over draft protection account tacked on to it for $1,500 so that I never really "over draw" my account, it just transfers some funds, and then I pay the over draft account back with no interest, or extra fees. I really don't know how I got it on my account, but I haven't been able to get another one since, so I keep it around for days like today. We bought it because we got a "preferred customers only" invitation to a "super sale" at the appliance store that we purchased our dryer from. Now, when we bought our dryer, it was out of necessity, we had no working dryer, just a 30 year old machine that spun clothes with no heat, yet made a lovely burning smell fill our house. We walked in, picked up a nice dented floor model, and ran with it. Lucky we did that, because basically what this dishwasher broke down to was a 20% discount off of the retail price (retail price not including tax) with tax, delivery, haul away, new hook ups, and install all included. They weren't really "included" but that's how big the discount was! While we don't need a dishwasher at this point, we "need" one. Ours, along with that classy dryer I was talking about earlier came with the house when it was built so it was at least 30 years old. Many of the pegs on the baskets were broken off and rusted, the dishes never got clean, and anything plastic (utensils, Tupperware, etc.) were usually destroyed beyond use. So now was the perfect time.   The sales guy also basically told us we don't need to pre-clean at all, and it actually works better if the dishes are actually dirty.  Haha, twist my arm!  It's a really "cool" (as cool as dishwashers can be) dishwasher too.  The entire bottom rack folds down in small sections to you can put HUGE pans in it, no issue, it has three spinny water squirter things, its Energy Star rated, saves water, and sanitizes.  My dishes will sparkle!  Wahoo!  We don't actually get it until this coming Saturday though, so now we get to wait wait wait...The event was also catered, (not a huge deal just hot dogs) but the person who owns the catering company was also there so I nabbed her card. It was a multi-beneficial trip. Anywho, I need to make a grocery list, drag Jason off the Xbox (yup, he's STILL playing) and head to bed. :)
