Bright Side

It's 10:30am on Monday and I'm at home, waiting for my new washer and dryer to be delivered, which was supposed to be delivered yesterday but wasn't. Thanks, Best Buy. I canceled a trip to see my parents, Saturday morning at the Fair, and Greg's birthday dinner with his parents on Sunday, as well as missed church, just to get this done over the weekend. But I don't want to let my extreme disappointment in Best Buy's customer service ruin the entire event. I'm over my "writing a big check" jitters and am excited about my first ever new washer and dryer. Every other one I've ever had was very much well used. This one is not only new, but cool. A front loader. Mom got one a few months ago when her 15 year old washer bit the dust, and she loves it. Says it cleans clothes, especially whites, better than you can imagine. And it barely uses any water at all. I've stood and watched hers for the longest time, in awe. If nothing else, at least I'll have a couple of weeks of entertainment via laundry-vision. If it ever arrives.

So I'm not going to be grumpy. At least not to anybody who isn't a Best Buy employee. And the real bright side? My laundry room is cleaner than it's been since I finished hanging the sheet rock and laying tile many years ago. Granted, most of the contents of the laundry room have been scattered all over the living room and dining room since Saturday, but still...
