img_0567.jpgSo Adam is coming over this weekend to talk business propositions… I am nervous.
Did I mention I lopped off my hair? BQ was getting his cut on Sunday and a girl walked out with the haircut I have been trying to get for years so I caught the hairdresser and odered the same. It is now barely below sholder length and she wants to go shorter next time- NOT!
img_0576.jpg Well my washing machine has decided that it is fun to spew water out in all directions when on the spin cycle. I opened it up to try and fix it but it has a “I can only be fixed by an expensive repairman” attitude and refused to let me help it out. So a call to Maytag about how the freaking thing is only 2 years old and should not have a premature ejaculation problem! I managed to be a nice as possible to the call operator, afterall she did not make the freaking thing. At the point when I called the thing had locked itself and refused to open up, must have offended it with that premature ejaculation comment. img_0572.jpgSo the call operator ran through all the things I could try to coax it into surrendering the hostages (boy are those towels going to smell good). I managed to keep cool and patiently tried all the things I had already tried and we came to the “well we will have to send someone out” point. So tommorrow for $60 someone is going to come to the house, hopefully release the hostages then tell me it will cost me $200 in parts and $150 in labour to fix it and I am being optimistic with that estimate. Sigh. I feel very tempted to take a chainsaw to it, wonder if chainsaw is covered by any kind of warranty? Can you believe they only warranty appliances for 1 year?! A lot of faith in a product that is.
OK, deep breathing.
So I have verified that you can indeed plant in the fall and I will be visiting the local plant store sometime next week. I just can’t wait to put in my war wall of bees. Teehee.
The course director has invited me to the womans league once again so I am going to join. It will be nice to have 2 Monday evenings to myself a month. Very, very nice of my hubby to agree to it. Who knows I may get competition good.

yer - where is the hair pic?
you know my dryer packed a poop last winter (i had to hand start it) and it was going to cost me $100 for the call out from fisher & paykel - plus parts. Uncle Colin pulled it off for little more than $1.50 (and I bet they would have charged a fortune!). I hope yours isn’t to expensy!

I need an Uncle Colin!! Where can I get one??? I tried to pull it apart myself but can’t see where the hell the water is coming from. Argh! I used to use a screw driver to start my old dryer -lol. I don’t have pictures of me! No-one to take em. I convinced the washing machine to release it’s hostages late last night (think it needs a couple of hours to calm down then it is willing to listen to reason) but it still leaks water so keeping the visit from the repairman. I am betting he is going to give me a figure that I tell him to get the hell out of my house with and I end up having to buy a new one… will let you know this evening!
