He's dependable. Understanding. Patient. Good with his hands. He's pretty much amazing...
Don't worry...Jordan knows all about him. He's actually been so reasonable with everything. Jordan even talked to him on the phone the other morning and told him it was okay if he came over in the afternoon. I was so impressed at how well he was handling all of this.
And it's not like this is something new. He's been coming to the house on an off for the last 2 years. He's like part of the family already....you guys are going to LOVE him. Don't worry. I know you will. In fact, I snuck a picture of him so you guys can have a peek!! You ready??
I present...'Tom' (names have been changed to protect identity)
...my geek squad knight in shining armor...
isn't he dreamy?
{la la la love my mustard purse too...}

{la la la love my mustard purse too...}He really is the best. Plus, he's great with the kids. They just love him, maybe it's because he brings them bubble wrap when he comes over. It all started when our fridge broke for the FIRST time...he showed up, worked his magic and life was never the same. Now after several broken appliances and countless home visits, we've formed quite the bond. He even told me yesterday that he's getting me a NEW FRIDGE!! Something about ours being un-repairable (sure 'Tom'. 'un-repairable'... you tell them whatever you need to) . Who needs jewels and baubles when you can get a NEW FRIDGE?!! Now that is the language of luuuuuuuurrrvvee.
However, I've made the decision that 'Tom' and I must go our separate ways....I'll never forget everything he's done for me. I'll think of him every time I grab an ice cold sugar free Red Bull out of my new fridge...but there's too many people involved...there are others that need him, who depend on him. I can't be selfish any longer....I'm cutting the ties.

Thanks for the memories 'Tom'...and the bubble wrap. Thanks for the bubble wrap.
You are such a freak! First its the Schwans man who happened to be there "selling" you delicious ice cream bars and pork tamales! Now...NOW its the fridge guy. Its a good thing I am a confident man. I hate our stupid fridge.
ReplyDeletebut just think about how much you're gonna love the NEW fridge...i did this for US baby...he meant nothing to me....promise.
ReplyDeletePoor Tom. But think about the sweet fridge box fort!
ReplyDeleteyou guys crack me up!!
ReplyDeleteThat is one guy I would cheat with!
ReplyDeleteah ha! tom reminds me of the maytag guy in those commercials. that's awesome.
ReplyDeletesometimes the boy or hubby, whichever applies, needs to accept the fact that there are just some things they can't satisfy. good for jordan for seeing that. i'm sorry you had to say goodbye to tom. RIP to that beautiful relationship.
I just had a thought....maybe you needed a new fridge beacause the old one wasn't keeping the ice cream cold enough, and it was The fact that it wasn't frozen that was making you sick, not the ice cream itself. Thank God for Tom! Now back to eating ice cream.
ReplyDeletePork tamales? Are those good? LOL
What a hunka hunka burnin repairman meat. Yuh to the ummm. :)
ReplyDeletesorry jordan...this is the man who keeps your guys' fridge cold and ready for lots of fattening food for your 2nd wife to get fat on, since the two of you REFUSE to partake anymore. i don't blame alicia for finding love in repair men! lol.
ReplyDeletehahah you're so cute! you crack me up all the time! and I also love the purse!
ReplyDeleteThe sacred vessel that holds the food. It is a divine calling indeed to run maintenance on said vessel.
ReplyDeleteBless "Tom" and all the other "Toms" out there!
My 2 little ones just stole the bubble wrap out of a package I received today! At least 5-10 minutes of a poppin' good time!
ReplyDeleteIt's big of you to let him go like that. You know what they say if you love something let it go, if it comes back to you then it was meant to be. However, I'm not sure you want to see the repair man showing up to fix a new fridge.
ReplyDeleteCan you send him my way please? Does he do showers? Mine's on the blink and keeps tripping all the electricity off everytime i put it on. :-/
ReplyDeleteUR husband is pretty damn funny! I wish Tom had been around when my fridge broke...he could have saved me the headache and the 1500 bucks!
ReplyDeleteI think I might become besties with my geek squad TV repair guy. I just called today to make an appointment for next wed. LOL gotta love the geek squad
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful ending to your relationship. Sorry sweetie...he's a cheater anyway. He has that kind of love for your fridge as he's taking it away :)- Bubble wrap is the shiznit!!! Yep...i said...the entertainment is endless and my kids are occupied for at least 20 minutes. That's enough time to take a shower, right?
ReplyDeleteOhh, that bubble wrap. :)
ReplyDeletelol omg
ReplyDeleteAhhh yes, sometimes we see so much of these people they feel like part of the family. Not a good thing! Congrats on the new fridge!
ReplyDeletea new fridge! that's frickin exciting!!
ReplyDeletei love bubble wrap, it could keep me entertaine for hours...hehe
any man that brings something new and shiny is good in my book.
ReplyDeletelove that your hubs calls you a freak. it's the number 1 term of affection afround here these days. totes love the yellow bag, too! i'm rockin' one myself these days. i soo could have used tom these past few weeks. i just bought a new dryer. it so would have worked for me, too, as my husband's name is tom. how sweet would that be?!
ReplyDeletehaha you crack me up!
ReplyDeleteLOL- He is super sexy! I heart your purse!
ReplyDeleteOh geez. Who could resist THAT? Go girl. : )
ReplyDeleteWell it is a shame that you must part ways. But I suppose all good things must come to an end. You had a good run at it kid! hehe
ReplyDeleteoh lady i said it yesterday and i'll say it again!!! BREAK ME OFF A PIECE OF THAT!!! Y U M M O!!!! mmm..mmm..mm.mm.mmmmmm!!!! hahahaha...
ReplyDeletei am jealous however...i love new appliances and a beautiful new clean fridge...new placement of things...new organizing!!! NEW DRAWERS!!! NEW ICE CUBE DISPENSERS!!!! BWA!!! stop me now before i everyone sees my 'o' face....hahahaha!!!
friggen heart you wildly lady!!!
For you it's bubble wrap, for me it's packing peanuts. To each his own. ;)
ReplyDeleteYou know you were just using him for that new fridge, and now he's all used up, and cast aside. So So Sad. ;)
ReplyDeleteYou are lucky that you have a husband that will allow repair men into your home. My man thinks he's MacGyver and can fix anything. Most of the time he can. He once fixed our air conditioner with a bottle of bleach and a stick.
ReplyDeleteXO

PS I am coming over and stealing that mustard bag.

Oooh, can you send Tom my way!? I would love a new fridge, not to mention a couple of other new appliances here and there. You lucky girl!
ReplyDeleteA dude with a new fridge will do it for me everytime :) Especailly one who's belly hangs over his waistband. You know he uses the same product he's selling and that's always a good sign.
ReplyDeleteoh.my. A new fridge- orgasmic :):):)
ReplyDeletei love that mustard purse
ReplyDeleteLOL! Fabulous post!
ReplyDeleteAnd congrats on the new fridge!!!!!
Enough about Tom...let's talk purses. Beautiful. :)
ReplyDeleteMe and My Air Conditioner Man had quite the thing going this summer...until things cooled down...hahahahaha. I came up with that on the spot. good one.
I think I'd get more excited over Tom & the new fridge than the "mustard" purse...Yay for appliances!
ReplyDeleteYour too much..."sure 'Tom' tell them what you need to"....ahh hilarious! :)
ReplyDeleteYay for your new fridge! The walk to the garage fridge for otter pops was getting a little too tiring for me!
ReplyDelete"tom" is Soooo a keeper! Be selfish, dont let him go!
ReplyDeleteSEND TOM OVER HERE ASAP!!! LOL! ;-)
ReplyDeleteIs this geek squad person from Best Buy?? I had some geek squad folk out to install a wireless system for our computers which my husband couldn't figure out. They hooked us right up with a great system at a nice price. LOVE THEM!!
