Who is not going to see this, but I’ve already told him he is the best daddy int he world, probably multiple times LOL

Our stove is 13 years old (is my math right? We moved in/had the house built in 97, but we didn’t actually get in until early 98 IIRC). It’s a GE electric range. The cheapest thing the builders could put in. Today it’s a 300$ stove for the new model of the same.

So my GE electric stove has been kind of busted for a while. The handle broke and we (in order) mighty putty’d it on, glued it on, and duct taped it on. You see, the stove itself was, and is, fine. We jsut had a trashy handle. No big. Then the glass front of the oven door lost some screws. How? I have no fucking clue. I just know the bottom started swinging out whenever we opened it. Whatever, we were just more careful opening it.

So Saturday morning I looked at stoves online, just to see if there were any sales in our price range. Not so much. I did see a beautiful Bosch for three grand tho.

Saturday night the entire glass front fell off int he middle of making dinner. Thank god Sara was making dinner or dad would accuse me to rigging it. So we duct taped the fucking front on (carefully, the inside was hot!) and finished the cookies and turned it off.

Sunday morning we went looking at stoves. Sears had the current GE model, but not in stock so we left and went to Home Depot.

I am now the proud owner of this beauty:

because my daddy loves me and figured it would shut me up the longest about the double wall oven I really want LOL

I did check out the GE, but the one we got has the added bonus of extra cooking space, instead of wasted drawer space (because electric ranges don’t have broiling drawers like gas ranges do).

He also let me charge four new tires this morning instead of driving on my baldies. The tires were kind of a shock, I knew I needed two, not all four, plus my regularly scheduled maintenance, which is why I was at the dealership to begin with. Stupid cars.
