For the last 6-7 weeks my fridge has been making strange noises for a fridge. Like, a semi. So, we decided we better get a new one. After waiting 2 weeks for it to get here it arrived with missing paint on the door, and a HUGE feakin scratch. After 7 calls to Sears's awesome (not) customer care center, they are bringing another one hopefully tomorrow. So, we will see how that goes. Then, my washer stopped spinning the water out and instead started leaking it all over the floor. Yay! So we had to replace the pump in it. Then, maybe the worst of all, our Xbox DIED. Yes, died. Our means of entertainment. Just before Christmas, and Christmas break. Now, I have heard bad things happen in 3's so I thought we were covered for the next little while. I was wrong. Blake was at a friends and the friends Guinea pig bit his finger. Hard. His poor little finger is practically black from bruising. He bled like crazy. The kids mom came over all apologetic, saying they would pay for Dr visits, blah, blah. Did I mention this is the neighbor that our dog bit about 5 years ago? And yes, we paid her Dr visit. How's that for Karma? Later that night, Ben went to adjust his sleep # and the little remote didn't work. WTF? This was very concerning to me. I don't enjoy having my sleep messed with. I love my Sleep Number bed, but didn't realize how addicting it is. It's like crack for sleeping. Ben fixed easy enough, but come on! 2010, bring it! (not really :), go easy on me!)

I am off Chinese restaurants. Last night I got food poisoning from Bejing Buffet. I have had it twice, and both times were from Chinese places. boo :(

I got Griff from school today and took him on a lunch date. He had a report to do, and he HATES reading. I don't get it. To me, reading just isn't that hard. He despises it. So naturally he was throwing a fit about the report. I told him IF he changed his attitude, and IF he got the report done on time, I would take him to lunch. Yes, I am a briber. I have no problem with it.
We went to a Chinese place and when we got our fortune cookies, I opened mine and it was empty. EMPTY! What is that about? Then he opens his and it says "You will inherit an unexpected sum of money within the year." I am kinda scared for my life!

My friend, Jerri and her husband had the following conversation after she returned home from a movie and he was shoveling snow;

Husband: Hey, hon, I could really use your help.
Jerri: Blech, I don't shovel.
Husbad: Well, Ang was out helping Ben. If she can do it, you can do it.
Jerri: Helping Ben, when?
Husband: While you were at the movie.
Jerri: Today?
Husband: Ya, today.
Jerri: Um, she was sitting by me during the movie.
Husband: Today?
Jerri: Ya, today.

Men.
