Bad Luck, Good Time
I know, how can you have a good time while having bad luck. Let me explain. First the bad luck bit.
I arrived home from work today to a flurry of activity. My wife is trying to leave to go scrapbooking with friends, my kids are all over me to have dinner and then watch movies. So, she leave, we eat, then go watch Arctic Tale. A very cute movie, suitable for small kids, except when the walrus get eaten! Try explaining that to a three year old!
We had another movie, Underdog, a blast from the past for me. The kids loved it. Between movies, we had cookies and made popcorn. I wanted milk with my cookies, but it wasn’t quite right….a little warmer than I wanted. Hmm…the fridge seems a little warmer than it should be. So I got out the thermometer from outside and the fridge is….YIKES! 57 degrees!!
So now, the good time part. See, living in Minnesota I know it won’t get above 40 tomorrow, so I can just put everything in a cooler on the deck! And it will be just fine until the fridge is fixed (or we get a new one). Since I have two freezers in my garage (need space for all them veggies from the garden), I put all the freezer stuff out there. It’s unplugged now, so maybe that will reset whatever is wrong with it. Otherwise we will probably have someone look at it next week. Maybe it won’t be a super duper expensive repair, but I doubt it. So it’s a good thing we have that emergency fund from the Dave Ramsey FPU class we are taking!
Hope you all have a great time. Later.
