DISHWASHER!!!

I know this might not seem like some wonderfully exciting thing to all of you, but to me it is monumental! WE GOT A DISHWASHER... a real one, not one that pretends to be and goes by the name of Sarah. On Sunday we went for a walk and ran into some friends who live across the street. We started gabbing about the problems of home owning, and I joked "well at least you have a dishwasher". Then the greatest thing happened, she looked at me and said, "well... we have a portable one you could have." She said it like she wasn't sure I wanted it... I, on the other hand, wanted to jump up and down and hug her, but I contained myself... there was a bit of jumping though. The thing is we have to have a portable one, we don't have enough cupboards to take some out to make a place for a dishwasher... not to mention the expense of hiring a plumber to come and put it in. We have had problems getting a dishwasher before, so I didn't really believe it was coming until it was actually in our house. We were supposed to buy one off someone, and they very RUDELY sold it to someone else before we got there, even though they said we could have it... long story, and I'm still bitter. So we went and picked up the dishwasher last night, got it in our house, started it, and it worked!! YIPEE!! I hate doing dishes, so having a dishwasher is wonderful. If you have ever seem my kitchen on a normal day you would understand. The dishwasher is older, and I don't care.... it's noisy, and I don't care... It does my dishes, and that's all I care about. Well I should run, Brighton is fussing.... one last YIPEE!!!
