Yikes
This evening after Tara got out of work (hah, she is never out of work these days. In fact, I am in the office with her now..BACK at work) we picked up Trevor and headed over to Sears to check out Washing Machines and Dryers.
Our new place has a closet with hookups for our own washer and dryer, and we were excited at the opportunity to finally be able to throw in a load anytime we wanted.
The intention of the trip was to price out the two machines, collect some information and come back in a few more weeks. That didn't happen. After surveying the selection and assessing what was available, we found a really nice set that had decent features but wasn't priced out of our range.
Additionally, the set wasn't complete crap. I'm serious about this. There were actually a few choices there that I was afraid might combust if you put more than one sock inside at a time and tried to dry with any heat whatsoever.
So in a very uncharacteristally "Dave" move, I asked Tara very quietly (partly hoping that she wouldn't hear me) "Do you want to just get them now?", and we did.
I am a little nervous, as this is a large purchase and I am afraid Trevor will try to make a grilled cheese sandwich inside the dryer, or play boats in the washing machine. I am sure they will be fine, and they arrive next Friday!

Hi Dave, been reading your blog for a while and I'm curious, which brand did you end up going with? I hope to buy a washer/dryer soon too.
