early afternoon

C’mon life, hit us harder, we’re not quite down yet

Last night, we discovered that our freezer wasn’t, um, well, freezing things.  Okay, I admit it, I’m addicted to Kool-Aid (a variety of flavors) mixed up in little bottles (mini Gatorade empties) and I put them in the freezer.  That allows me to have icy-cold drinks throughout the day, and at some point, they’re slushy, which is my favorite.  Anyway, the freezer wasn’t freezing my bottles.  The fridge seemed fine, so we thought.  We figured we’d be okay without the freezer half of the refigerator/freezer combo because we have a big ol’ chest freezer (how do big, or even average-sized, families manage with such tiny fridge/freezer appliances), but when we woke up this morning, we realized that it was the whole she-bang.  And really, why wouldn’t it be, it’s us you’re talking about.

We’re still a bit on the lucky side (it terrifies me to say that, because we don’t have any “other” shoes to drop) because we have a little fridge upstairs that we’ve always just used for drinks & condiments (oh, weren’t we livin’ high on the hog, with a “drink fridge”?) because we generally eat dinner upstairs by the tv, so as to stay away from the big dogs.  So, where you eat yer dinner, ya need yer condiments ‘n beverages, right?  Anyway, we can dump some of the drinks out and put some of the stuff from the regular fridge into the li’l one.  It does change the errand of grocery shopping to just going to Target to pick up some paper products and maybe some cereal.  We’d buy some frozen stuff, but the big freezer is still all full of raw cat/dog food that we got from SuperZoo.  Speaking of SuperZoo, I still have a bunch of products to review, like Nature’s Variety raw food, Wagatha’s (kosher!) cookies,  Breath-a-licious bones , Dr. WooFrs pet treats,  fruitables (pumpkin & blueberry - the most fabulous smelling dog cookies so far), and more…  I’d like to make this blog at least 50/50 appliance failure vs pet food or snack treat reviews from SuperZoo.
