I am working from home today because I my new refrigerator was scheduled to be delivered this afternoon. It was bizarre because at 8:30 AM they were delivering the fridge to me, but it was the wrong one. By 9:00 AM, they had the correct fridge, but nobody to ship it. By 9:45 I they agreed to deliver it today, but I had to settle a commission dispute with their sales staff. Apparently someone claimed they sold it to me the day before. Then it was a string of phone calls from a confused delivery truck driver. After all of that work, it’s finally here!

I know that buying kitchen appliances is something only adults do, and I’m okay with letting go of a what’s left of my youth by openly discussing my appliances. This fridge is that cool. First, it’s stainless steel. I know it’s the trendy thing to have a stainless fridge, but I’ve liked anything that shiny and metal for as long as I could remember. So it’s going to be kind of fun to bring a modern touch to my house with something as practical and useful as a refrigerator.

Function. The top is the fridge part and the bottom is the freezer. The fridge opens like French doors. The bottom freezer is a drawer. This is the first fridge I’ve ever had where it feels like the doors wants to swing shut and seal up. It makes a cool sound when it closes too. I just plugged it in an hour ago, and it’s amazing how quiet it is. This is going to be fun!;
