Drumroll…please… « Like I Have Time For This?

Look! Under the counter! It’s a mini-fridge! It’s a trash-compactor! No! Wait! It’s a… DISHWASHER!!!!

It’s stainless! It’s beautiful! It’s infinitely cooler and more intense than that other piece of crap we returned to Best Buy. And right now — RIGHT AT THIS VERY MOMENT — it’s washing the dishes while I’m up in the attic typing this.

It’s so incredible. Let’s zoom in a little bit, shall we?

See those little green lights? See how they’re glowing a nice green? That means it’s working. It’s actually washing my dishes for me. Right now. While I’m not in the kitchen with a sore back and aching feet.

I’m gonna save these and keep them in their own special little photo album. Sort of like when you bring a new baby home. Except this thing doesn’t wear diapers. And it’s not as loud as a new baby either.

It’s actually pretty quiet. It’s one of those whisper-wash things. Pretty cool, huh? But I swear, when it first started up, I could hear the Hallelujah Chorus starting up somewhere behind the control panel.

Or maybe it was just in my head.

Maybe.

What a beaut! So glad you no longer you are doing them by hand. That is just, unthinkable HORROR. Sheer panick at the thought of a breakdown with my beloved dishwasher. I should treat it better. Maybe I will give mine a little squeeze of lemon, or something…

No, I’m pretty sure it was the Hallelujah Chorus. I think I heard it all the way here in Virginia!

Congrats on the new baby!

Oooo. Pretty.

But you didn’t post any pictures of your hubby hitting it with a hammer!

I have a portable dishwasher. (No place to put a built-in).

It’s a great place to roll out pie crust.

WOOHOO!! They are great.. I remember the day we moved in here. We had to buy some dished, because they lost our stuff. I loaded the dishwasher and set off the clean bathrooms and make beds. After a time P yelled for me, I ran into the kitchen and our floor was flooded. Turns out the nice Japanese men that installed our dishwasher forgot to hook up a pipe or 3. HA HA!!
