Modern Living

Last Friday Ken came home from work and informed me that he wanted to go shopping and spend some money. I took the opportunity to mention our freezer dilemma, which is that we don’t have one. I was tired of being able to only fit 3 days worth of food in there. Our freezer held exactly 2 frozen pizzas,a box of fish, a pound of meat, and a bag of peas. Then we would have to use a sledge hammer to get it to close. So we set out for the local Wal-mart and purchased a small freezer. It is no bigger than the size of a college refrigerator but it is all freezer space and I am overjoyed! I have now joined the modern way of living – frozen dinners.
Yesterday was the day that we had planned to go to the grocery store to stock our new toy. I was not feeling well and so I sent Ken and Carissa by themselves. It seems we still have not quite adjusted to life with small spaces. They came home with so much meat, bread, and ice cream that we again had trouble fitting it all in.
My parents are excited about our new purchase because it means we will now have ice to serve in their drinks. That is of course, if I can locate where I stashed the ice cube trays. (Sorry, David, you are supposed to drink the beer warm! — Ken)
The girls are excited about the freezer because it came with a new toy just for them….a huge box to play in. I made a play house for them out of it and I must say that I can give Martha Stewart a run for her money on penniless crafts. You may not think it is much but it gives me hours of quiet time and my children now think I am a goddess!
As you can see, it has many features for discerning young homedwellers and their many babydolls.
Wayne, are you proud of me?
