As Much As I Love to Emulate Emilie, This Wasn't What I Had In Mind

If you've been following Emilie's blog you must know about THE DRYER CHRONICLES. If so, just go back and re-read them replacing the word "dryer" with the word "freezer" and you'll pretty much have the gist of what we've been going through. Except I am not as cool as Emilie and have not participated in any of the repairs. Granted, the freezer portion of our side-by-side fridge does not have soggy socks in it (last I checked, anyay), but there have been many times when if there were wet socks in there, they'd have been soggy rather than frozen. And ice cream the consistency of wet socks is just gross.
Here's the technical explanation: some thingy somewhere inside the water and ice dispensing whatchamacallit gets clogged and frozen and then there's no ice and the mystery meat goes limp and Alan has to defrost it all and the next thing I know my hair dryer is in the kitchen again.


See: it all comes back to dryers.


But, logic dictates that we can't possibly need to replace major appliances already because there isn't any trim board in our kitchen yet. You see: if the room isn't done yet, then everything in it is still new...right?!?

Meanwhile, Alan did emergency repairs on the disposal last week after it spewed potato salad throughout the under-sink cabinet, and I'm expecting the washer and dryer to quit any time now. And then there's that bulge in the wall in the dining room that's causing my beautiful wallpaper to split...


Oh yeah: we'll be celebrating the 10th anniversary of buying our house this July.

  1. Well, thanks! I mean, I'm sorry! What a bummer. I hate stuff like this. Your blog is great.. makes me laugh a lot. I do think you need a special post about Madeline's adorable hair cut.
    See you...
