bad mojo

Have you ever heard the term bad mojo? No, I'm not talking about the local bbq place that we go to on Friday nights, I'm talking about having a magical power that breaks everything expensive. A few of my coworkers have declared that I have bad mojo this month and let me give you the run down of why...

washing machine
laptop
tv
tires
refrigerator (home)
refrigerator (work)



yes, these are all of the more expensive items that have failed in the last 3 weeks. I won't even go into all of the items that are less exhausting to think about.


Here are the good things that have as a result of my mojo...
washing machine - under warranty, so a free fix by the Maytag repair man who found an Adelaide sock
laptop - thank goodness for extended warranties that you never really get to use. Went two days without a computer at home, which was actually really nice except that I couldn't catch up on tv shows and by the time I went into apple stood in front of the guy and there you have it a WORKING laptop. Crap, I was so embarrassed. Oh well, maybe this is a good time to throw in the fact that I put a terabyte external hard drive on my Mother's Day wish list so I can upload more pictures, right now the memory is shot. I guess that's what 15,000 pictures will do to a computer.
tv - it was old anyway, so we moved the tv from the playroom into the living room and have started plans to make it an official playroom with all of Adelaide's stuff and a new bed so that when we are ready for baby number 2 Adelaide's big girl room will be ready.
tires - I got 52,000 miles out of my ginormous tires so if I can get another 50,000 out of the new ones I won't complain too loudly when it's time to replace them again.
refrigerator (home) - all new stainless steel Whirlpool Gold appliances to arrive in another week or two or three or four. For now we got the refrigerator working enough to get us by...don't ask.
refrigerator (work) - not my problem after the water stopped pouring into the break room.
