Rule of Threes
August 9, 2011
The last time a rash of things broke in my house it was my favorite camera lens, my laptop, and my sprinkler system.
This week:
My microwave broke. Just up and died along with the smell of burning wires or plastic or whatever it is in there that burned itself up and caused the microwave to stop working. Before I moved to this house I never had a microwave. I never knew why I would need one. And while I still could happily live without one, my children are huge microwave fans. From my oldest: do I have to drink cold coffee now? (No, wake up at a decent hour when the coffee pot is still on and drink fresh hot coffee.) To the littles who like to make tortillas with melted cheese for lunch. In the interest of family harmony and my sanity I will need to replace it soon.
The air conditioning in my van stopped working. This is a problem since it is 105 degrees outside most days. The van is on its deathbed and frankly everytime I turn the key and it starts I am more than slightly surprised. I have begun looking at new cars. And laughing hysterically at how much they cost.
Maybe if my sprinkler system wasn’t broken that money tree would have bloomed in my backyard.
I’m not looking forward to the third thing.
