What Next?!?

What the freak did I mess around with in feng shui that we are gettin' nothing but broken stuff this month? It's so bad I find myself with a list of broken crap and a pocketbook that needs a rest! Here's a list of my troubles this month.

1. Dryer didn't have heat (luckily the hub fixed) FIXED

2. Our Apple Computer wouldn't turn on (luckily we had the Apple Care Warranty and got a new power supply. Note to self, good job on the purchase of the warranty it was like the first time a warranty ever worked, see below Volkswagon) FIXED

3. The Hub's car overheated (or rather it broke real bad for the 40 millionth time and we decided it wasn't worth fixing.... so we are looking for a new car and hope to purchase a new one by the end of the month. Note to self, never ever, ever buy Volkswagon again! Friggin Jettas and their stupid warranties that they don't honor!) DEAD/NEED TO BUY NEW CAR

4. I washed the hub's phone (he's back to using an old phone with knobs that sometimes work. Note to self, friggin check the pockets of hubby's clothes after a trip and don't just throw the laundry from the suitcase into the washer) DEAD/NEED TO BUY NEW PHONE SOMEDAY

5. The gardener's broke (How does this happen? Well they have been doing a really shitty job so we fired them. Note to self, learn how to mow lawn) NEED TO BUY LAWN MOWER, BLOWER, TREE TRIMMER or HIRE A NEW GARDNER.

6. Direct TV broke (our little box refused to hook up to satellite for days and the Customer Service Team wanted to charge us $50 to send a guy out. Okay, your product is broken and you want to charge me? This is part of our of nickle and dime society that I currently hate. Don't even get me started on Airlines. So bye bye greedy jerks and hello Time Warner and new DVR and On Demand. Note to self, it's good to switch companies every so often so that you get better deals). FIRED DIRECT TV and HIRED TIME WARNER CABLE WITH NO CONTRACT.

7. The electricity in the house went out (the light in the hallway closet was broken so we bought a new light and then the electricity went out in the house so we had to take that light out to get our electricity back but not after two hours of a scary, grumpy (because he didn't eat) hubby -Note to self, always feed the hubby before he starts an electrical project). LIGHT STILL BROKEN NEEDS TO BE FIXED

8. No Gas in the house (the friggin cable guy tripped the earthquake valve and we had to have the gas company come out and fix and charge us $64 bucks - I guess we should of paid the Direct TV guy cuz know we are in the hole a further $14?? Note to self, shit happens) FIXED AS OF 5 MINUTES AGO.

Can't wait for November to get here so we can leave jinxy October behind!

Random Thoughts as the Weekend Closes

Today I got a friend request from my mother-in-law. Will she embrace the FaceBook? We wait and see. Technology is cool...I got to speak to my friend in Hong Kong today. The BlindSide is a really heartwarming and good movie. I didn't know what to expect. I saw Sandra in blond hair and I thought cheesy. Now I can't decide whether I want her or Meryl to win the Oscar. Cats are really nice creatures. I haven't really had much exposure to one before. I especially like the fact that you can hold them like babies. I wonder if I stole Mr. Chuckles if anyone would notice? hum. Bartenders blowing fire makes for an interesting drink at the bar. Plantains are better when they come with your meal and not as an appetizer. I met a man who wanted to see Leap Year. Krueger continues to take jobs that suck ass and take up her precious time. Sorry CougarTown screwed ur day up Krugs. We missed u at the movies today. Ever since I got Mo I have meet the most interesting people ...

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

Time Is Flying

Man, back in September and October, I thought time was going by so slowly but now that we are in November and half way through it, it seems like time is flying once again. Maybe that has a little bit to do with me being a lady of leisure these days. My doctor put me on bedrest for the remainder of my pregnancy. I went into his office all stressed out over the situation at work in early November and he said "this Friday, November 4th, will be your last day." I was like "Excuse me?" Doc put me on disability because stress is bad for the gestational diabetes I already have and for the apparent high blood pressure reading I had that day and some of my tests indicated I was at risk for pre-eclampsia. My new job, is to go to the hospital for neonatal stress tests, twice a week, on Monday's and Thursday's with a weekly OBGYN appointment on Thursday's after my hospital appointment. Throw in some eye doctor appointments with an eye specialist (apparen...
