the drama continues...

Remember my twins? Yes, my beautiful washer and dryer. Well, the drama continues.

We got things ready to be all hooked up, and low and behold, the plug for the electric dryer did not match. Long story short, we ended up replacing our outdated fuse box with a brand new breaker box. I was so excited to finally come home and use my new dryer. We plugged it in, and our lovely "refurbished" dryer would not turn on.

The repair person came today. Basically it seems we purchased a refurbished machine they forgot to refurbish. Lovely. I have not been able to do laundry for about a week now. I have to wait until Thursday, as the repair person needed more parts to refurbish our non refurbished machine. Ugh. Really?

We were supposed to be home

We should be home, in MN right now.

We actually left ON TIME, which if you know us, is no minor miracle.

Instead...

About 1/2 way back we stopped for gas. Filled up. Paid at pump. Pulled forward, parked. Went inside for drinks. Paid. Returned to car. Put in reverse. Car quit and would not start. Tried for 10 minutes. We got towed to the Ford dealer. The tow truck driver (while driving) dug under his seat. Found a nearly empty bag of chips. Dumped a few in his hand. Put back under seat. 5 minutes later,
Drove with his knees. Dug for the bag again. Dumps rest of chips in his mouth. Ford cannot even look at car until tomorrow. We are #5100. They were on #2000 when we left.

Geez. Just our Luck.
