RIP

We knew it was coming but we didn’t expect it so soon.  Sure, the keypad was quirky and it made me hit "compu cook" every time I wanted to use it, but I just thought it was being tempermental.  I didn’t know there were serious issues.  I didn’t know it would be leaving us so soon. . .

It is with great sadness that I tell you that our microwave is dead.

Of course our microwave is dead, because the day before we go on vacation is a wonderful time for an appliance to die on you.  Any showings this week will see a non-working microwave and our disclosure statement that once had a few things on it such as "quirky keypad," needs to be redone since now it is virtually spotless, as we’ve continued to replace and upgrade anything that goes wrong. 

Did I mention we lowered our price this week?  Do you realize I now need to buy two microwaves?  I need one for this house and one for the presumed new house if this place ever sells.  I’m sensing a trend.

New carpet for the current house; new flooring for the new house.

New microwave for the current house; new microwave for the new house.

New kitchen floor for the current house; new kitchen floor for the new house.

Freshly sanded and stained deck for the current house; no deck for the new house.

Wait, something doesn’t feel right here.

When I leave for vacation, I am going to do my best to completely forget about anything happening beyond the shoreline. 

Dead microwaves this morning and a visit with the surgeon in just a few hours. . . can’t wait to hit the beach.

***There is a new review up at The BBM Review.  If you’re looking for a samurai movie to watch this weekend, you might want to check it out (to know which one to avoid).

    2. We have a home warranty, which means that every time an appliance dies, they replace it for free. We’ve gotten a brand new stainless steel double oven and dishwasher out of it, and now we’re trying to break the fridge.
    Have a good time on your vacation!
