Shopping for a new microwave is apparently going to be harder than I thought. The reasons are a bit complicated. If we are going to get stainless, (and by stainless I mean silver. There are titanium and ultra satin finishes as well as stainless steel) then remember we'll be slowly switching out our white appliances BUT we should pick out ALL the appliance when we buy the microwave so that they'll MATCH! Okay, so that's complicated enough. Then throw my husband into the mix. YIKES - shopping with that man is almost as fun as cleaning the bathroom! I love him to pieces but he's a difficult person to shop with. Let's just say he's VERY picky. He strolls down the aisles and picks the things he likes based solely on their appearance. When I stroll down the aisles I am not even looking at the appliances, I'm looking at PRICE TAGS. If I find a price I like THEN I decide if I like the thing I'm looking at. I'm not a chef extraordinaire, I only use my microwave to heat things up and cook veggies, and I don't drink water or get ice from the fridge door. BASIC appliances that LOOK good, that's all I want! SO, we went to FOUR stores last night when we should've been home getting our children in bed and we came home with NOTHIN' - not even an idea of what we are going to buy. Maybe by Christmas we'll have it figured out.
So enough of my whining. Allison went out to play yesterday and when I was dressing her in her warm woolies she asked if she could wear "ear muffins". So off she went to play in the snow with her fluffy "ear muffins." So cute.
