Oh Happy Day! A New Dishwasher

SQUEEEEEE!

Ok, I’m pretty excited about this.

You all know I like to keep my sink clean and unload my dishwasher every morning, right? (OK, let me confess here that lately it has been my husband who cooks and cleans more than I do. Yeah, it is true.) Although we try to keep up with our routines, neither of us are perfect at our housekeeping — things do get messy. Our dishwasher gets a daily workout just trying to keep up.

So imagine my SURPRISE when I got an email a couple of weeks ago asking if I’d like a BRAND NEW ELECTROLUX dishwasher! HOLLA! FOR ME? YES, PLEASE! My old one was very loud, leaked, difficult to load, the inside was stained with tomato sauce so it looked like a massacre occurred there at some point, and the lower rack fell out every time we pulled it out. It was recently recalled as being a fire hazard, but we did have it repaired on warranty. Not that I was complaining or anything, but you know, little annoyances.

I don’t particularly like any of our current appliances and am not in love with my kitchen in general (the style is just not ME, not that there is anything really wrong with my kitchen). But updating the kitchen is not at the top of my to do list.

So to get a brand new dishwasher right now was unexpected but super exciting for me!

It is like CHRISTMAS! And maybe, JUST MAYBE, my new dishwasher will even make me look forward to doing the dishes everyday!? You think? Maybe? I hate to admit it but I am thinking that might not be far from the truth. Because I can be an appliance snob.

And maybe one thing will lead to another and pretty soon I’ll be ripping out my counters, painting, and hanging new light fixtures. You never know what can happen when you get inspired by a new dishwasher. ANYTHING is possible.

Maybe I will get to remodel this kitchen sooner than I thought if I keep getting emails like this!

My new dishwasher was just installed, so I’ll tell you more about it soon! I am pretty sure I am in love. I think this also just might prompt me to make my video on how I unload my dishwasher in two minutes, because I know you are all in still suspense about that.

YIPPEEEEEE!!!! I get to go unload my brand new dishwasher now!!

So, do you think a new dishwasher will really make me more excited to clean my kitchen?
