My Fridge is too Advanced for Me. . .

I shared with you last week that we had to get a new fridge and how new fangled it was.  It got even more advanced than we ever thought this week.  We were going to celebrate Sprat's birthday on Saturday night so after the hubbs and I had worked cooking breakfast at Church we picked up an ice cream cake for after dinner.  We came home and I put the cake in the lower right side of the freezer section of this super techno fridge.  After dinner I went to get the cake out so that it could thaw a little for our dessert.  When I picked the box up the cake was leaking out of the bottom, it had completely melted.  Let me describe the way this fridge looks;  it has four doors, the top two are the refrigerator doors and the lower two doors I thought were the freezer doors.  Apparently the right side of the freezer can be adjusted so that it is either a:  soft freeze, chill, or freezer.   We had inadvertently set this lower right door to chill (refrigerator temp), I had not put anything in there other than that ice cream cake so I had no way of really knowing that it was not freezing.   We figured out how to change that temperature and it is now a freezer in both lower doors but, how cool is it that we can add more fridge space if we need it.  I kinda like that.
Sprat drove himself to Church yesterday, that was his first trip alone since he got his license.   He drove to school today too.  I made him text me when he got to school so I would know he was safe.   I also told him he had to text me before he leaves to come home after football practice.  I am still adjusting to this convenience of having another driver.  He did not take Big T to school though, I do not think he is ready for that responsibility and neither am I.  I am sure once the hubbs and I are both working there may be a time when he will have to drive him to school but for right now he does not.  It is going to be another interesting week here at our house, so stay tuned and hang on.  

And the Wall is Wet. . .

We did get our new fridge, but it was touch and go there for a while.  These new fangled appliances that have all sorts of bells and whistles need a several hundred page instruction book.  I mentioned yesterday that we bought a floor sample.  This was a special order that the customer changed their mind on.  We got a great deal since it was a return.  I asked the guys that delivered it why the customers changed their mind and they said the customers said it was too loud.  I was a little confused because how loud could it be.  Had we made a huge mistake by purchasing this after it had been returned?   The delivery guys said it sort of sounded like an aquarium.  I am still not sure about that, it does make a little noise but who can hear anything in my house between the boys and the dog all yelling and barking all the time.  I will welcome an aquarium sound.  Don't they sell really expensive gadgets that make that sound on purpose?  Hey we really did get a good deal, we got a two for one.
I did not notice any odd noises last night but this morning as I was in the kitchen cleaning up after sending the boys off to school I did notice a little bubble sound.  I then noticed my wall was glistening, my walls do not normally glisten.  I stuck my hand down beside the fridge and my counter top was damp and then I could feel a little bit of a spray.  Panic then begins to set in.   I had just got everything back where it belonged from having the refrigerators switched out and I had to clean everything off again and pull this monster back out and try to figure out what had happened.  I called the store and tried to explain what I thought was going on and they said they would send someone out to check on it.   I continued to clean the fridge off so I could pull it further out from the wall to clean the water up off of the floor.  Once I pulled the fridge away from the wall I could see what the problem was, I guess I called the store too soon.  I had a very small hole in my water hose that was going from the wall to the fridge and it was spraying a fine mist all over the wall and the cabinet.  I called the store back so they would not have to send anyone out for this.  The hubbs or I could go and get a hose to replace this one.   When the hubbs got home after dropping the boys off at school he went to the store to get that much needed replacement hose.   Fingers crossed, and hopeful that everything will be ok now.  
We have a couple interviews this week so stay tuned.  

Appliance Break Down. . .

Sunday morning trying to get ready for Church, I noticed our refrigerator temperature acting odd.  My freezer temperature was going up and so was the refrigerator temperature.   My Sunday mornings are crazy since I am trying to get two teenagers moving for Sunday school plus trying to get myself ready.   I now know my plans for after Church, start fixing food that is thawing in my freezer and then go find a new fridge.  

The hubbs and I went fridge shopping and each one we looked at and liked they did not have in stock.  It was going to take seven to ten days to get it in stock.  We ended up buying a floor model but, the good news is we got a nice fridge at a nice discount.  We should get it sometime today, so for now I have three coolers siting in my kitchen with ice and what is left of my refrigerated items.  Luckily we have a big freezer in our basement so my freezer stuff went there.  

The good news is I got rid of a whole lot of stuff I should have thrown out a long time ago.  Funny how things work out.   Maybe I can keep this fridge clean and neat.  Bahahahahahah!!!!  

We did not get the fridge with the TV or the one with the cameras, I am not that tech savvy or tech needy.  Technology changes so fast and obviously refrigerators do not last like they used to.   

Stay tuned to this roller coaster we are on. . .
