I recently received a promotion at work. A wonderful thing. No? And, what have I decided to do to mark the achievement - and, more importantly, the raise?
Go on a trip? Take myself out for a meal at Ducasse? Buy a pair of Manolos?
No. No. And, no.
In true blue VittlesVamp fashion, what I want to do is do away with my true blue dishwashing gloves and purchase a dishwasher.
I'm consulting Consumer Reports, lest I make a poor choice, and scan the Internet, lest I don't get the best price. But, if any of you have advice to offer in terms of make or model, by all means shout out.
Am I sick that this is the sort of purchase I get excited about?
Wait - Don't answer that.
oh man oh man oh man oh man.
I purchased my first dishwasher maybe 2 years ago. Since our tiny little house didn't have room for a built-in one, I purchased a new portable.
I loves it.
I don't remember the brand though. I went to a local appliance place in our neighborhood that has been in business for longer than I've been around.I bought the best one they had, I believe it was about 650 bux or somethin. WORKS FINE.
The new portables don't have the wood top anymore. So I found an old one for free and removed the top. Refinished the sucker and installed it on my new dishwasher. Now I have a nice new dishwasher with a maple cutting surface.
Niiiice.
