Where have you been doing laundry in the meantime?

Melanie's question reminded me that I meant to do a post about that. So, when they told me that they were going to order the replacement part for our washer and that it would take 7-10 business days, I told them that I had a family of 6 and that that was not going to work for me. They didn't seem to care. So I did a few loads at my Grandma's house. Or should I say, Grandma did them for me. :) She's so awesome!

The next day, I received a prompting. I called Fred's Appliance and told them the situation and asked our salesman if they ever give anyone a "loaner" washer while it is being fixed. So they came and took out our broken washer to our garage and installed the loaner for us. Fred's Appliance has been great throughout this whole ordeal. It's Bosch who has been extremely difficult. They weren't willing to take responsibility for anything.

Washer update

We finally have a new washer.!!! After having the service guy from Fred's replace the shattered window on our washer a month ago, then taking it to their "shop" for 2 more weeks to run a few cycles to "wash out all shards of glass", Bosch finally decided to give Fred's the OK to replace our washer. I seriously almost started crying when the guy from Fred's told me they were going to be bringing us a new washer last Saturday. Such a tremendous relief. I was willing to go to court over it, if I had to. My video would have been 'the smoking gun'! hahaha Speaking of the video, I am laughing so hard at myself in it. I didn't realize that I sound like I'm on that show "Ghost Hunters" or something!! LOL Soo funny. But it just goes to show how totally freaked out I was. You guys would have freaked too!! LOL It was like 12:30 at night, Rob wasn't home, and the walls were shaking! LOL

Oh, and one last little tidbit: I'm totally the type to think that Bosch/Fred's are trying to pull a fast one on me, by say, "replacing parts on our old washer and saying that it's a new one", so I checked the Model # and Serial # on the new washer and it's definitely not our old one! LOL Hey! I've got to cover all my bases!

Berkley's 1!

Berkley and her cousin Gabrielle share the same birthday! This year, their birthdays were on a Sunday. So we all went to Aunt Jeana's house and we had pizza and a Maggie Moo's ice cream cake! It was so yummy! It's so cute that these 2 little girls will get to share their special day together!

The Force!

So, I didn't really get to see any of the infamous SuperBowl commercials yesterday because we were at our friends' house for dinner, and I was pretty much the only adult that cared about it, so I watched the game from "afar". :) But today, I got online (msnbc.com is my home page) and it had a link to "watch and rate all the SuperBowl commercials". I was like SCORE! So, I went through most of them and when I came to this one, Hudson and I were laughing so hard. Needless to say, we hit replay many times.... I don't even remember how many.... Kudos to Volkswagen! Such a classic commercial! I wanted to post it onto our blog in hopes that we can keep it for awhile without having to look it up on youtube every time we want to watch it.

Whazzzzaaaaaaa?
