thank you craigslist

the old microwave finally gave up the goose. i suppose it was about time. i got it in 99 from bri and rob and before that, rob had it for a couple of years. now, i know being 10 years old doesn't automatically kill a microwave, but i am really rough on things, so it was probably more like 20 years to it. because im in the middle of the big kitchen overhaul, i didn't want to go buy a new microwave because i plan to et one of those fancy over-the-range models when i get to the appliance phase. plus, i am cheap, and i have a $25 price point for a microwave i will only be using for a short time. so i hopped on craigslist, found this little number, and made arrangements to pick it up in mariemont, which is 2.5 minutes from my office. (i still love my new job!). basically, this was something close to the most perfect transaction, ever. i cannot recall how i got along before craigslist. or
the Internets. :)

  1. YAAAY! Seriously, the internets are the best thing ever. I remember taking a class my first day of college: How To Use the World Wide Web. It was so fun - type in the URL, hit return, and BAM! You were on the web. Go click on stuff. Little did I know how my world changed that day.

  2. I'm still waiting for a widescreen flat panel HDTV to show up on the "Free" part of CL.

    If you see one, give me a holla.
