Washing Machine Blues

Well folks, my car is back home again and running like it was in the Olympics... (wasn't that a funny one?) I returned Jim's car to him last night and visit my grandparents a bit. They are so nice... I love them :)

We also have a new washing machine. Adam had been trying to fix the old one for the past week with no success, so he told our land lord about it the other day. The only hitch is, we did have two washing machines in the basement. The first one stopped spinning on the spin cycle, so the clothes would be soaking wet when I took them out (not very easy on the dryer). The second one used to belong to our landlords daughter. She was getting a new one so he put it in our basement to use when the old one went bad. Well, after about three - five weeks of using his daughters old machine, the belt started making an awful racket. I thought it was just that the belt needed replacing. But Adam opened it up and decided the brake was bad and wasn't allowing the tub to spin. It was agitating, just not doing the whole job. So I guess when he told our landlord, he said we'd have a new washing machine tomorrow (which is today). We both feel kinda bad... we didn't think they'd go out and buy a new washing machine. Most landlords don't even supply washing machine for their tenants. What should we do? Just sit by and be grateful for him having to spend a good chunk of money on a washing machine, when we had just gone through two of his already? Oh dear...

Everyone must think that I write very boring escapades of newlywed life. Washing machines, broken cars, sicknesses, etc, etc...

Welcome to the reality of life. Don't worry there will be plenty of fun and exciting things to write about. By the way, did you ever wonder why we make those silly lists? They give us something fun, and hopefully interesting, to write about.

Yeah, but I can never seem to get on Thursday, to do the thirteen Thursday thingy...

Welcome to the world of being married and on your own. Theirs always something that needs fixing. It's not boring, it just reminds the rest of us that we're not the only ones that have things breaking down all the time.

I forgot to say that right now every single time we run our dishwasher, we end up with a pretty large puddle on the floor. It's really a pain when I temporarily forget and step in it with my socks.
