While sitting at Sky Harbor airport yesterday, with lots of time on my hands, I had the following thoughts:
1) ewww! You're going to let your kid walk around here barefoot!
2) Hey! Is that Mr McFeeley from Mr Rogers Neighborhood?
3) Lady, if your plane goes down you'll never be able to run away from the burning wreckage in those shoes.
4) Buddy...don't hog all the electrical outlets to charge all your stuff. Wait, is that an electric razor?!
5) overheard a lady complaining that she had food poisoning from the night before....but ate 2 deviled eggs and guacamole before coming to the airport. That wasn't food poisoning. That was too much to drink.
6) Oh please, oh please, oh please don't sit next to me.
7) (sing along) Dude looks like a lady.

Home, safe and sound.

Is this an experiment?

Have you ever felt like you were unknowingly a part of a crazy experiment to see how far you can get pushed before you break?  This is my life the past week.

The washer went kaput last Monday on load number 1.  I had to hand wring the load and dry forever.  Went to Sears on Tuesday and ordered a new washer.  The earliest it could be delivered was this past Monday.  Yikes!  I really needed to wash clothes.  Husband was so kind to run to the laundromat on his day off and do 2 loads.  We then went out of town for the weekend.

Was so excited to get the new washer on Monday.  It was delivered and installed right in time for me to go to work...so I didn't get to really mess with it until that evening.  Less than 5 minutes into the first wash load there was a loud bang and everything stopped.  This is a washer with a lid that locks...so I had a washer full of wet clothes and no way to get them out.

I spent a couple of hours on the phone with Sears.  Started off that the earliest a repairman could get here was next week.  After 2 hours in the phone....which ended with me getting disconnected, my son took to social media and I sent email to EVP of Sears customer service.  Hub also called the next day and was told we would get a new washer.  But then we got calls saying a repairman still had to come out to unlock the lid!  I spent almost an hour on the online yesterday to get that worked out logistically.  LONG story short, repairman came out last night and unlocked the lid to get wet laundry out (they are dry but really have to be washed again) and now delivery guys are here taking the lemon away and delivering a new unit.   Please oh please let this one work.  We'll find out soon!

"New"s

A new year of school starts tomorrow.  New room is set up (finally) and ready to go.  Exciting times.

Heading back to the gym tonight.  New name, old gym.  Am hopeful new girl at front desk did not jack up my membership when I went in earlier today to let her know I was reactivating after summer off.  Looked like my credit card with a new effective date was scanned about 3 times!  Old class with new time tonight.  Same teacher but wondering if there will be new people in class...or just the same bunch of crazies I'm used to.

First place

Woot!  Let's hope this keeps up.  Going to Wednesday's game.

Granola

Unseasonably cool weather means it is OK to fire up the oven today.  The doors and windows are open and a nice breeze is going through the house.  I made my homemade granola (truly SOOO much better than store bought) and am getting ready to fire up the grill to make fajitas.  I hope hub and son appreciate the effort.

Kind of getting excited for school to start and to get back to work...kind of.

Dirty water

Deep cleaned dining room carpet.  First time since I don't know when.   Ewwwww.
