My datebook is as warped as my dishwasher

Now in Kirk's file there is a note that he will need remedial calendar reading, because it is apparent he'll get none of these skills from home.

We showed up at the school to learn that we were ONE WEEK EARLY. And they had someone else scheduled, so we couldn't go ahead and do it anyway.

Tomorrow I get a new dishwasher. And I am excited about it in a way that I never thought (say, at 18) I thought I could or would be. Our dishwasher is a piece of utter crap. It finally died (and only five years old). Of course, it died by secretly leaking water all over the floor, underneath the linoleum, ruining it too. Thanks so much, GE. Not sure when we are going to replace that.

My new dishwasher is a Kitchenaid. My fridge is a Kitchenaid and we've been ridiculously happy with it, so that made it a winner. Our plumber recommended a Bosch, but those things take forever to dry dishes.

Good christ, if ever an entry needed to use the lj-cut tag, this was it. My sincerest apologies to those of you who have been driven mad by the banality of my life chronicled here.l

Condi Rice

George W. Bush should send Condi Rice out on more talk circuits. She was on NPR this morning, talking to Juan Williams, and good lord is that woman persuasive.
