Things Break. All the Time.

We have been married for just about 9 1/2 years now, and in our house for 5 1/2.

And things break, we are finding.

Last night my phone wouldn't charge, my computer wouldn't run from the outlet. We changed outlets. Still nothing.

Thankfully we soon figured out that we had lost power in outlets all over the kitchen and the dining room. We reset the one and now we are able to charge.

But our main computer is on the fritz (hence no pictures on the blog).

And our vaccum cleaner has a frayed cord.

We need to replace our AC in the spring, and the furnace might go with that.

Our furniture is on a rapid decline.

Oh what to replace first?

It is kind of fun to be able to get new things, but it can get overwelming at times when it is just one more thing all the time.

Speaking of things breaking, there is currently a lot of banging and crashing going on in the basement. I believe they are playing Max and Ruby in Grandma's attic.

In other news:
*We are freezing.
*The baby (and my stomach!) is growing.
*Lincoln is talking more.
*We are still trying to finish the deck and patio (inbetween social engagements and rain).
*The house is a mess, and I have lots to do before snow flies.

Have a good Thursday!

I have a friend who says everyone should get a seven year anniversary shower, because after seven years, everything you'd gotten for your wedding is worn out, lost or broken. Maybe a seven-year house fix up work party (with a silent work) is also in order.
