Made in America

It's back to school and retail stores are pushing it big time. Bright colors are "it" this year, and that's just fine with me, considering I LOVE LOVE LOVE orange. The brighter the better. You know, construction sign orange. So as I flip through this week's Walmart circular, I spot a super cute orange coffeemaker that also includes an iron and a toaster. Not that I need the other two, but that's not the point. It's an ORANGE coffeemaker!!! And it just so happens I'm in the market. {Mostly because I noticed Walmart is now selling Dunkin Donuts coffee and their french vanilla is the shiz-Christy the domestic goddess turned me on a while back.} I check my bank account yesterday am and notice my WV income tax refund has FINALLY found its way home. Woohoo!!! Hold on orange coffeemaker, I am coming to rescue you from retail hell!!! After I get home last night and get Gracie in the bed, I set about the task of opening the box which contains my new found treasure, only to be extremely disappointed in the product. The thing is crap!!! I am returning it pronto as soon as I take a lunch today. I am heartbroken. So I found a Mr Coffee Programmable maker for 19.88, less than el junko and then some. Wish me luck!
