Stupid Things

So, apparently places to buy new counter tops are not open on Saturdays, which makes no sense whatsoever. Isn't that when people shop for home improvement stuff?!? A few weeks ago, I got a quote from TL custom counter tops. I had some questions, so I called to ask them and have not been called back. Frustrating, I wanted to buy them there So on Saturday, Nate and I decided that we would just go somewhere else and see what we could find. Well, everywhere we went, closed! Fine, they must not want my money!

Also, this weekend our washing machine freaked out. It started making that unbalanced you've shoved too many clothes into me noise and dance. So, I redistributed clothing and the grooving and shaking continued. It seems as though some water has been trapped between the inner and outer tub. The thing is, the washer is almost a year old. We bought it the 28th of July of last year. Hopefully whatever it is falls under warranty, but I am certainly not counting on it.

Also, my camera is dying. It got dropped at Father and Sons and hasn't been the same since. I can get about five pictures out of it before it dies. I checked the batteries, that doesn't seem to be the problem. Since my birthday is coming up, I can probably just make a camera my present this year. But I don't know what I want and anyone who knows me knows I research incessantly, so if anyone has a camera they love, let me know. Nonetheless I am annoyed it's dying.

Also, baby quaking aspens (the biggest tree/weed there is) keep trying to spout all over the yard. The roots keep appearing far away from the main trees and I must battle them all the time, and I still lose.

And then, I keep having this strange muscle spasm in my eyelid that is driving me insane!

On the flip side, the house is pretty clean today. Bella vacuumed and thought it was the greatest thing ever. The kids loved dinner last night and didn't complain at all, sweet and sour chicken. And we have a lot of fun stuff planned this week.

I feel better now I got that all out.

My roomate in college used to get the eyelid spasm all of the time. It was from stress. I don't know why you would be stressed out your life seems to have no trouble at all...:) We go through washers and dryers like crazy. And hey at least your van (that you finally own) isn't giving you all sorts of trouble as well. Life is fun. Love ya Jill
