News from the kitchen

We bought it! We actually bought it! Our new Frigidaire oven will be delivered tomorrow afternoon. For those that don't already know, we've been...we'll, I've been fighting with Sears for almost two weeks trying to get the oven we bought from them online processed, delivered, and installed. It didn't happen folks...it just didn't happen and there were no signs that it was going to happen. I had to cancel the order with Sears Tuesday night and start our search all over again. BTW....the Austin Alderetes have added Sears to the banned businesses list we have going, well, the list I have going (sorry, baby). Our oven luck changed last night when I made a call to the Conn's store right down the road from our house and spoke with a real nice guy named Mario who said that he had the oven we were looking for but it was a floor model (FM). I asked about any FM discounts they offered and he said that he could give me the oven off the floor for $200 less than the list price....."OK!!! When do you close?...We're on our way!...Don't let that oven out of your sight!"

I updated Brandon and we jumped in the truck....the FM looked great and we were ready to buy it. As we turn around I see this smiling face.....and it's MARIO!!! He's an old friend from the guys' softball team that I haven't seen in over a year. I had no idea he worked there and definitely no clue that it was him chatting on the phone. This was meant to be!!! The sexiest oven I've ever seen (in our price range, of course) is going to be ours and the purchase is helping out my buddy's commission for the month. What more could a girl ask for?

So, for those reading that may be in the market for new appliances, or those gorgeous flat screen TVs, drive down to the Conn's at Capital Plaza and ask for Mario and please, please, please stay away from Sears...ALL of them. Trust me on this one, folks.
