<p><em>UPDATE:&#0160; Last night, after spending another hour on the phone with GE I was informed that the part we needed was out of stock and that they couldn&#39;t service my fridge until next week.&#0160; Which would put me at 20 days without a refrigerator.</em></p>

<p><em>That is the point where I LOST IT.&#0160; I don&#39;t even know what I said on the phone, but it must have been pretty scary because a repairman was at my house by 8 AM today.&#0160; With the part that supposedly was out impossible to get until next Wednesday.&#0160; &quot;I just happened to have one in my truck.&#0160; What a coincidence!&quot; he said. <br /><br />I don&#39;t see another GE appliance in our future is all I&#39;m saying.&#0160; I know that you can all sleep better at night knowing that I</em><em> can finally buy some ice cream.&#0160; </em></p>

<p>This is my fridge:</p>

<p>It&#39;s pretty, isn&#39;t it?&#0160; I don&#39;t think I&#39;ve ever mentioned my refrigerator because, well, it&#39;s pretty boring.&#0160; It holds our food and keeps it cold.&#0160; That is, until Saturday, October 27th.&#0160; That was the day I woke up to find this:</p>

<p><a href="http://www.everydaytreats.com/photos/uncategorized/2007/11/06/dscn5186.jpg"><img alt="Dscn5186" border="0" class="at-xid-6a00d8341db04e53ef01310fa39c98970c" height="225" src="http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/6a00d8341db04e53ef01310fa39c98970c-pi.jpg" title="Dscn5186" width="300" /></a>

<p>The interior of my fridge was 71 degrees.&#0160; My house was 69 degrees.&#0160; I had a freezer packed with frozen appetizers because we were having a party the next day.&#0160; A party for 35 people.&#0160; And my mother in law was staying with us.&#0160; As was my brother in law and his wife.</p>

<p>In other words, I NEEDED MY STUPID REFRIGERATOR TO WORK.</p>

<p>But it was a Saturday, and the fridge is under warranty, and GE would not come out until Monday.</p>

<p>So me, being resourceful and cool-headed (for once) called good friends of ours and asked (begged!) them for freezer space, as I did not want to serve our friends salmonella-infested quiche.&#0160; They understood, of course, and kindly made room for our food. The party was saved!&#0160; Hot drinks are on me!</p>

<p>Monday came.&#0160; The GE repairman came.&#0160; He looked at our refrigerator for a total of 5 minutes and announced that he needed parts, and that they would not arrive until Friday.</p>

<p>We were leaving town on Wednesday and would not be back until Sunday.&#0160; No worries!&#0160; I made an appointment for Monday (yesterday) and cleaned out the fridge.&#0160; We left it looking like this:</p>

<br /><em>That night the cleaners feasted on Trader Joe&#39;s pizza and cheese, and our wallet cried real tears.&#0160; All that food!&#0160; Gone!&#0160; Poof!</em></p>

<p>Yesterday, I waited all day for the GE guy to come.&#0160; He fixed our fridge and left.</p>

<p>Joy!&#0160; Living without refrigeration when you have small children is damn near impossible.&#0160; I made plans to go grocery shopping for those things you never think to buy - things like mayonnaise and mustard.&#0160; </p>

<p>Last night I took a peek at the fridge before leaving for the store.&#0160; The temperature?&#0160; 74 degrees!&#0160; AAUURGH!<br /><br />I&#39;ve been stuck at home all day waiting for the GE man.&#0160; He just left, and informed me that he needs ANOTHER part and we will not have a fridge until Friday, maybe Monday. We have guests arriving Friday.&#0160; I don&#39;t need to tell you why this sucks.</p>

<p>Sebastian is very upset that we have no food in the fridge.&#0160; He keeps saying &quot;We no food!&#0160; We need to go growcery!&#0160; I drive red cart!&#0160; I fix frid-gerator!&quot;&#0160; He makes me read him books about grocery shopping.&#0160; I think he thinks we&#39;re going to starve.&#0160; </p>
