Dumbest Diary Entry Ever
Boy, I'm pooped. I just crossed off a chore that has been on my list for weeks. I kept putting it off.
I cleaned the refrigerator.
Inside, outside, the innards, the underside and the backside. Is there any more thankless job in the house? I mean even cleaning toilets is more satisfying. At least you can look at it and see that it is tidy. And everyone who uses it can see it too.
But who takes off that goofy panel at the foot of your fridge and exclaims... "My! You have SUCH nice clean refrigerator coils!"
I was down on my hands and knees whacking away with the coil brush and I heard a funny noise. I took the back panel off (after unplugging the thing) and I twirled the fan back there, and sure enough, I had bent a blade. I tweaked around with it until it didn't hit the housing any more.
I feel quite smug about the whole thing actually. But it is still one of those things that just does not lend itself to household bragging rights since it is so.... hidden and unnoticed in the grand scheme of the domestic goddess realm.
For now I will just have to be content with a knowing smile when I lay my head on the pillow tonight. "My refrigerator coils are dust free. Isn't that special?"
(This has GOT to be the all time dumbest diary entry ever. It's pitiful. Just pitiful.)
Yeah, () but what do YOUR refrigerator coils look like?

Well...thanks for the link, but I think I'll pass. I don't think I've *ever* vacuumed the coils. I can't even move the fridge.

You're supposed to clean the refrigerator coils???? This is obviously why I will never be a domestic goddess - "if you can't see it, why bother cleaning it?" is my motto.

Refrigerator coils are just to scary to contemplate in my current mental state.

Cleaned the inside of my refridgerator two weeks ago. Didn't touch the coils. Too scary and can't move the darn thing anyway.
Good job, domestic goddess.

My father-in-law used to come over to my house when I was still with hubby and cleaned our coils on a regular basis...which was strange since their house was such a pigsty...
He was afraid the refridgerator would overheat and he would have to buy us another one...(he bought that one for us).
I was like...dude...you have to find something else to do on your Saturday nights...
LOL

Look, I just mopped the kitchen floor only three days ago. Now you go pushing clean refrigerator coils at me? Cruel, cruel woman!! ;o)

Ok as I cleaned ours just a week ago, it is a yearly duty but if you have Kritters maybe twice a year. It is a man thing to do anyway if you want it to run right.

Refrigerators have coils? Let me go look....
Nope, I don't believe it. I only see a furry thing that must be insulation. Yeah, that's it. Insulation.
I think I need to go find my vacuum attachments now...

Can you bottle some of your motivation. My refrigerator needs cleaning.
AND.....There are no dumb entries. Life is life.
Have a really great day.

Ditto what FutureCat said. I didn't even know my fridge HAD coils. ;)
(Oh, but I DO clean BEHIND the fridge!)

refrigerator coils???
Where are they??
No really.. the top of my fridge is so dirty I could leave a note on it.. I mean with my finger..
Oh yeah.. i'm a germ and clean nutt
Aa huh~
I had GS pull the fridge out when it was not working right and was amazed at how much filth was in the back.. i mean frightening.. I didn't even dare vacume it..
So.. i dusted it... (sneezing the entire time) and pushed it back
this fridge is probably 20 yrs old.. and I don't think i'm the first to just push it back in place..
I sure wish you lived close.. I'd pay you.. I mean.. big$$$$ ;)
drat!!! now I have to clean my fridge.
