Appliance graveyard?

It's been a while since I've posted!

I think we've got some sort of evil spirit in this house that doesn't like electrical appliances...Did I mention that we had to replace our washer and dryer recently? I think so...well, about a week ago, the control panel on our dish washer started flaking out...we can now do only quick rinse, or baked on cookware. So today, we went out and bought a new dishwasher- should be here by the end of the week. And shortly after we got home, our microwave started making funny sounds and sparking...we were almost sure we were going to have to go back to the store to buy ANOTHER appliance...I think their may have been a tiny sliver of metal or something in it...after we washed it out thoroughly, it was fine. (Good thing...it's old, as is our DVD player which is starting to be a little flaky...and our computer, which is not old, is starting to run REALY slow! Ugh...when it rains, it pours).

News of note...the weekend before last, we took the girls to the movies- it was Rebecca's first ever movie in a theater. We went to see Meet the Robinson's. I liked it a lot...Rebecca liked the popcorn :) She's eager to go back to the movies (for more popcorn LOL). I think we'll go again when Shrek 3 is out...all of us should like that!

Last weekend...I had to work- DH took the girls to the IL's for the weekend, so it was fairly quiet here. I've recently started beading again (as if I don't have enough hobbies!), and I made 3 necklaces! Isabelle loves them, and makes a point of showing them to all of her friends at school when I wear one.

And this weekend- we learned how to make chocolate martinis! Yum! Godiva Chocolate Liqueur- pricey, but oh so good! We joked about having more today...for breakfast, and lunch... (don't worry, we didn't! LOL)
