Husband Hijack #4: New fridge!

I've been waiting... and waiting... and waiting... for my wiff to post about the new fridge we picked up a week and a few days ago, but for some reason she never did. So I will!

We've been needing a new fridge for a while now. Prviously, we had a refrigerator in the garage for beer/wine/bottled water/gatorade, whatever else that fits in that category. We also had the freezer filled with some storage stuff. We also had an upright freezer in the laundry room. And finally, we had a fridge/freezer side by side in the kitchen. The garage and laundry room appliances are both very old and sap alot energy. The freezer in the laundry room also like to make a "banshees coming out of hell" screaming noise when it's not in standby. A good *fwap* on the side usually shut it up for a little while, but it never failed to start up again.

So basically we'd had enough and went up to our local Sears and piced up a new fridge for the kitchen. We then moved the current one in the kitchen to the laundry room, and we cleared out the fridge in the garage and the freezer in the laundry room and those are being donated to charity.

Anyway, here's the new fridge! It's a Kenmore Elite Trio (Model #79753). So far, we love it!


And the inside, 25 cu. ft. of space. The upper part has 3 compartments all with their own temperature settings (mechanical). The box looking thing on the left side is the icemaker. It's built into the back side of the door and it's got a pretty small footprint. The very top shelf has a portion of it that slides back so you can put taller items in without having to take out and move shelves around or lay things on their sides. The freezer portion has a large basket as well as a smaller pull out tray to store things.


See you next time on Husband Hijack!

Another project in progress

Everyone needs a red front door, right? Yes. At least, every W Fam needs one! Here's today's adventures in painting...

A nice, normal, partially-prepped white door before...


becomes a beacon as a red one!



Yay for nice weather!!! And patient dogs who supervised the entire project!

Yay mutts!

Ok, people, votes are in... it turns out (no surprise here at all) that mutts are the thing to have... Seriously. Go to Martha and find out for yourself.

Personally, the W Fam digs mutts. But I feel I can't exactly let Martha's slideshow just be, because they didn't include the cutest mutt in the world, Gizmo!

So, in order to remedy that on my end, here's some more mutt love!


hello, i am here!

super gizmo to rescue!

arrrr, i've got you now!

Yay for mutt babies! And non-mutt fur babies... we love them too! :-)

Happy Tuesday!

Time flies when you're having fun!


I've been laughing to myself all morning remembering what I was doing 2 years ago today... then thinking "man, has it been two years that fast?!" Awesome!

So, wow, 2 years ago today I spent the day laughing - so much laughter and so many smiles that my face hurt by the end of it - that I was going to marry the love of my life that evening.

isn't he hilarious?!

Husband Hijack #3: Movie time!

Hellooooooo again! <- Click Hello!!!!

Just saw Angels and Demons. If you get the chance, go see it, it's fantastic. Even if you haven't read the book, go see it. I'll leave it at that.

So with Star Trek and A&D ending up being excellent movies, I hope I can keep the streak going! Next up on the movie list (most likely) is Terminator: Salvation. We've also seen some previews for some other movies that look good which we're planning on seeing. Off the top of my head there's Terminator, Harry Potter, Public Enemies, Transformers, GI Joe, Gamer, Julie & Julia, and The Ugly Truth. District 9 looks interesting too, it's directed by Peter Jackson. I'm wondering if Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is alluding that The Fallen will be in this movie. I know Megatron is back, but for those that don't know, The Fallen is one of the original 13 transformers created by Primus. Click here if you're interested. Actually, if you read that article, there is a picture of the Fallen from the new movie as a figurine. So I guess that confirms it, sweet!

I will end this post with a picture that is pornographic in nature (yes, you heard right). I take no responsibility for any sins commited after viewing it...
