I Wouldn't Have Believed It.

Well for three or four months last year I was without an oven. The stove part of it worked, but not the oven. We could have had it repaired, but it would have cost almost as much as a new stove. Granted, a low end stove, but a new one none the less. Well we waited and waited until we felt we could afford it and we bought a super duper splendiferous Kenmore Elite, top of the line fancy schmansy stove that does everything but dish up and serve the food. I love it. Just love it. Anyway.. last night I was cooking on my smooth cooktop with the variable size burners, and all of a sudden it died. For 10 minutes, nothing would turn on. The oven worked, but not the stove top. It finally turned back on, but I just checked it and it is dead again. Sears can't come out until March 31st to fix it. It must have a short somewhere. So this magnificent specimen of technology that cost over $2000 has lasted a whole 3 months. Oi vey.

Little Brother is in love

David has a girl friend. A whole 2 weeks. This one may stay around awhile. She lives very close by, not a drama queen and she seems to really be crazy about David. (well really, who wouldn't be) She is very sweet and well mannered and swears she is only 14, though I would have sworn she was 18. Might be the eyes though. Anyway... I like her and she has been exposed to the very special brand of Ahroon love and attention. You know, thats somewhere between being a "Survivor Show" winner and being mauled by a bear. Where you leave feeling slightly light headed and dazed and you check your wallet. She survived and actually keeps coming back for more. How can we not like her.

Big Doin's

Well it's been forever since my last post. My life really isn't all that interesting and I am usually hard pressed to come up with things to write about. But I'm sure that in this span of time SOMETHING must have happened worth mentioning.

I know that on February 19th I had my right knee replaced. That wasn't fun and was a lot of pain for a week or so. But it's now 32 days later and I'm walking unaided and without a limp. There is still pain, but nothing like in the beginning. I think by Monday I can probably use Tylenol to handle it.
