Hearing a huge screeching nails on the chalkboard sound from my washing machine was not in my plans for the weekend. After about nine years I think it decided it was time for retirement. Rick fixed some parts on it last year, but after checking the belts and other possible problems, it was decided it was the motor that was screaming at us, and that it needed to be replaced. Bummer. I would have much rather purchased a nice new handbag, but I guess we probably need clean clothes more than a new Marc Jacobs bag. Not nearly as much fun though. I couldn't quite bring myself to dropping the extra money for a front loading machine - so old school top loader it is. :)
On a positive note Rick was very pleased with the service at Sears. They price matched the better price Home Depot (who didn't actually have any to take home) had on the same model (plus 10% of the difference) and had the whole purchase start to finish done in about 15 minutes max, out the door, new washer in tow. We are typically pretty easy customers, we come in to a store with the item we want already selected, just make the deal, don't give us a bunch of BS or mess with the price, and you can be on to the next customer in no time.
Yesterday Bella audtioned for and was accepted into the company program at her dance studio. She's really excited. Her "dancing sister" as she calls her was also accepted, which is great, they will have a blast. There are five girls in her group, and I think they are going to make a great bunch and be great friends. It's a big commitment time wise, but Bella has shown time and time again that she thrives on structure and being kept busy in an organized fashion. With no other kiddos in this house, she very quickly gets bored. One of the things I love about dance for her, is that it requires the use of her body and mind at the same time. And she just LOVES dancing - so she's really excited for this new adventure.

Those front loading washers look so cool. Plus they have a huge load capacity. But I totally understand the economics of it. We were talking about the pros and cons of the front loaders and it just is too much.
Glad you had a good experience at Sears! Sometimes you just can't beat good old Sears.
Congrats to Bella! That is a great accomplishment for her.
