Bah Humbug!

Our house seems to be falling apart around our ears right now! It rained heavily on Sunday night and we found out that our brand new roof leaks...in 3 places! Our garage also flooded due to all the rain and melting snow--our wet/dry vac got quite the workout that night. In the past couple of days, 2 of our toilets have overflowed, the pipe to the refrigerator's ice maker has been leaking into the ceiling of the downstairs bathroom, and our microwave apparently shoots sparks. Honey has also figured out a way to escape from the brand new, ridiculously expensive fence. (The sole purpose of its purchase was to keep her contained...sigh.) In other craptastic news, our container of furniture has not yet arrived, and because the 26th is a holiday in Norway, we can't reach anyone at the shipping company to find out what's going on. (The movers we had scheduled to unload the container came bright and early this morning--oops!) We really did have a very nice Christmas at my mom's house, but as soon as the last present was opened, the last gingerbread man devoured, we had to return to our rotting, flooding, exploding and unfurnished house. Bah!

Em - Sorry to hear about all the unnecessary things you guys are dealing with at the moment. House stuff like that is never fun - it's the unnecessary evil of being a homeowner.

Glad to hear you had a great Xmas. I need to pickup the phone one of these days and chat. Tell Kev & Carol Merry Xmas from Steve & I :)

Hi Jen, I've heard bad things happen in threes (or in our case, multiples of threes!) so maybe things will start looking up soon! I look forward to hearing from you! Emily
