obsessed

i am obsessed with this stove top.  i hate it.  i imagine every day what it would be like to have my island counter top completely unobstructed.  the things i could do with all that counter space.  i think about it every day.  sometimes i dream up ways to solve the problem, all of which plans cost thousands of dollars.  i finally decided a few weeks ago that i seriously wanted to make a change so i began planning again in earnest.  i got a great counter top bid.  i found someone to move the stove top to another counter and i found a great double oven to put into my kitchen (also an obsession).  it was the perfect plan.  our estimate started at $7,000, but then the counter top bid was so great, we were down to $5,000.  i was ready to move.  but i was foiled by maytag.  they said a double oven with a stove top on top was too much heat.  i was super sad, but decided to let it go, which i did for 12 hours.  i decided to ask one last person for an opinion.  rye.  mr. puggs.  he suggested moving the stove top over my existing single oven.  one problem solved.  then he said why didn't i put my second oven in the mudroom?  not my first choice, but a fine solution.  i called the appliance store and the new oven i want is on clearance for $800.  well that puts my grand total at around $3,000.  waiting for the big guy (craig) to give the go ahead, but i have to order the oven by tomorrow.  using all my convincing skills.

caroline and jake went to the bountiful/wx basketball game tonight.  bountiful won again.  i wonder if wx gets tired of losing to us.  jake has had a fever now for four days, but decided to venture out to the game.  when the game ended, he hitched a ride home with a friend, leaving his car neatly parked at wx.  who forgets their car?  lame-o.
