In some weird twist of negative energy surges.... Motors are burning out all around me.
Two weeks ago, I burnt out the blender.
Last week, both of my hand blenders went Pffffffffffffffffftttttttt!!!!!!! with a small but impressive puff of grey smoke.
This morning?
The coffee maker.
Just sat there all black and quiet and immovable.
Not a hiss or a pfff, or a trickle.
Not an aroma or a scent of hopefulness for the day.
I'm trying to fill the gap with animal crackers and instant Taster's Choice.
I know.
How completely, disgustingly wrong.
Must take children for walk.
Must stop at gas station for dark stuff that looks like coffee. Smells reminicent of coffee. Tastes sort of like coffee.
Woe is me.

At times like this one should consider renewing their wedding vows and registering for all the fancy new state-of-the-art small appliances. You do get gifts at a second wedding to the same person, don't you? If not my plans for a lot of upgrades around this house are shot...
awww i feel for you! the same thing happened to me a little while back. maybe i should bring you a cup of java... afterall, i only live 10 minutes away from you now.
val
woe IS you! how horrible to have your coffee maker die on you. i thought that mine stopped working a few weeks ago...maybe check to see if it's plugged in! (that may or may not have been my coffee makers problem...i'm not saying)
get a French press. It can't burn out. It can however, break.
uh.. "must stop at roo's house who HAS coffee AND a working coffee maker..."
I think this generation must come up with a new wedding gift protocol. I could use some towels that don't have to be layered in triplicate to soak up a little moisture...
ok val. you're just teasing me now...
bria... weird. I can't believe your machine may or may not have been plugged in.
french press anonymous. Have you been hired by the husband?! confess. CONFESS!!
roo roo. That's just your beautiful big heart speaking. I happen to know that you've not slept in ten months. I'm not sure you're safe around hot machines...
The Blender went kapooot?? Say it ain't so!! How will dear Brian blend up my slanty margarita's?? This IS a crisis!!!
you underestimate the dear man. I said TWO WEEKS AGO. That blender was WAAAAY been replaced.
Weève got our priorities...
WOW Joyce had no idea. I keep a thrift shop speciel in the cupboard just incase something terrible like that happens. No emergency kit in the car and never a bandaid to be found in the house ha go figure.
BUT even under slept mama's need company. must have company. desperately need company. :)
oh...one other thing...when we don't have company we do ridiculous things...like...SIGN UP WITH FACEBOOK and silly stuff like that.
!!!!!!!!!!!!
NOT THE COFFEE MAKER! We shall take up a collection immediately.
