Greetings, All!
We have about 10" here on Cape Cod -- we're in West Yarmouth which is south facing. Incredibly high winds and for a while the world looked like a snowglobe on steroids. It's still going on but the wind is slightly less... probably 30-40 mph but it was crazy for a while. We are hunkered down and have a plow guy coming in the a.m. We still have power so I'm watching Nurse Jackie reruns. All is well. So happy our vakay wasn't beginning this weekend!
Stupid roof has a leak AGAIN and it's only 8 years old. We've had 4 repairs in 6 years and this new roofer insists that his answer will definitely fix it. Warranteed. Guaranteed. Absolutely. Echo.........echo...........echo. We have to have faith, I guess. The fool that installed this roof was not licensed but I didn't know that. He asked me to take the permit out myself so he "wouldn't have to charge me an extra $200" if he took it out himself. I'm so gullible. Rick was sick at the time and of no help. Anyway, at this point I'll have paid for the roof twice again once I give this latest guy $1500 and add in all the other repairs. MORAL: LICENSE! WRITTEN GUARANTEE! REFERENCES!
Tomorrow is roast chicken on the rotisserie in my new toaster oven. That's another thing that crapped out on us --- our toaster oven lost the top burner so wasn't so much a 'toaster' as a plain oven. Anyway, this might be fun. Lemon, tarragon and garlic. Probably make the brand new oven filthy and take an hour to clean.
OH... and the refrigerator suddenly is too cold! It freezes my salad dressing which is olive oil, lemon juice and herbs. ????? I keep turning it down but wonder why the stupid thing is getting colder. Psychotic thing!
All mishaps in my life come in three's so I'm hoping that's it for screw-ups in this house! Roof, toaster over, fridge. That's wnough.
Snow should end in the a.m. We'll take the Sunday crossword and go out for breakfast! YAY! My favorite meal to go out for! Then football (AFC championship) at 3:30. GO PATS!
Stay warm, stay dry!
