Tests and Dishwashers

Today I got my scores back for my last 2 Literacy certification tests for teaching and PASSED BOTH with flying colors!! I was kind of worried, but now I'm totally stoked!
After that I went home and finally called a repairman to come fix our dishwasher. We've been without our dishwasher for 3 weeks now with dishes stacking up everywhere and washing mass amounts by hand every few days. I guess we never realized just how much we use it and how much we appreciate modern technology! So the repair guy comes over, walks into the house, opens the dishwasher, pushes down some little thingy inside that had gotten stuck, turns on the dishwasher and BOOM it's fixed (now we feel stupid). But here's the kicker: he charged us $65 for that!!! What a rip-off!!! 
As bogus as that is...I'm sure glad to have a dishwasher again.


Pile of dishes on one such day


Stupid doohicky that cost us $65

Ryan and I had no dishwasher for the first year and a half we were married, I never want to go back to that! I'm glad it was so easily fixed for you.

I have to say to all 3 of you...I'm so sorry! I don't know what I'd do without a dishwasher! Well, now I do I guess and I'm so grateful!! I commiserate with you and apologize for waving my dishwashing good fortune in front of your faces.
