SYNCHRONIZED OBSOLESCENCE

Sunday, November 09, 2008

Have you ever notice that everything in your house breaks at the exact same time?

Our dishwasher is broken. Don is thinking he's going to try and replace the motor and see if that does the trick. There is a big motor lookin' thing on our kitchen island right now.

Don let Becca play an online Winnie the Pooh game over the weekend. When he went to check on her a couple minutes later, she said, "Dad! I'm searching for old classmates!" And she was using Classmates.com! This made me laugh very hard - who is she looking for, preschool kids? Anyway - the Dell then said ahhhh-chooooo - and now Don is trying to fix a computer virus as well as the dishwasher motor.

The car windshield is cracked. We may need new tires. The answering machine broke. I left my laptop battery on the cruise ship. Peh.

RIGHT THIS MINUTE

Sarah is in bed reading the last of "The Black Stallion". She's snuggled up with Gizmo, some bottled water, and a lilac scented lamb toy. There is more lip gloss than lip on her face right now. Boy is she a sweet baby.

Becca is in bed reading a book called "Hidden Worlds." It's a National Geographic book from the set my mom bought for my sister once upon a time. It's about spores. She has a bandaid covering a papercut she got making a paper turkey out of pictures of Barack Obama. She has decided she wants to chase tornadoes for our next vacation. She is also a sweet baby - maybe more ginger than Sarah's sugar.

I'm lucky.

DISCOVERED ON VACATION

Saturday, November 01, 2008

I'll blog about the vacation soon - but meanwhile, it bears noting that we all discovered that we love Mr. Bean. There's something in Bean for everyone.
