The Web site crashed, the phones were clogged and the service was amazingly lousy, but persistence paid off. If we buy a new refrigerator within the next 30 days (and recycle our old one), good old Uncle Sam will give us $200 for our trouble. Nice!
Which brings me to the real point of this post: EXTERNAL MOTIVATION!
We need that in this house. Big time.
I mean, really. You'd think we'd have had plenty of internal motivation to replace our refrigerator over the past two years.
Just look at it:
It has that "I used to be white, but no amount of scrubbing will ever again make me sparkle" thing going on. Lovely.

But soon, all of this will be a distant memory. For we now have a little external motivation — and a deadline.
Thirty days.
Sweet!

I'm jealous you got your rebate. We bought a new dishwasher 2 weeks ago, before we knew about the rebate. Bummer! That extra $150 would have been nice! I hope to see photos of your snazzy new fridge on your blog!
Yeah! Glad to hear you finally got through. And I didn't even notice the duct tape the other day!
I have the same duct tape situation in my fridge.
