They would be Coffeemaker, Car tire and Computer, of course!
The danged things have all died on me in the last two weeks.
Last night it was the computer. Yep, we need a new one after more than seven years' service.
Luckily we have a computer kid here and he hooked my keyboard and monitor up to an extra one he brought home from college. So I still can write stories, blog, and go on Facebook!
Life is still good.
If bad luck comes in threes, I hope that's true for good luck as well, because I'm ready for some. Not asking for a lot, just a little bit o' luck.
Happy Friday ~

It's the little things...
that can make you crazy.Or crazier, as the case may be.
Yesterday our less than a year-old coffeemaker conked out. Boo hiss!
Today I stopped at the grocery store to buy some * instant coffee * after dropping daughter off for work. I've been brewing coffee in the morning for myself and Ralph for many years, but I thought I'd try instant again. An emergency beverage, because tea just doesn't get me going in the morning.
Walked into supermarket and saw big display of blueberries, which I am addicted to. Buy one, get two free. Yahoo! Then I dropped one of the packages when someone said something to me..half of the container of blueberries goes rolling across the floor.
The produce manager comes running over and says "don't worry about it," but also says they are the "worst thing to drop"...so hard to pick up so many.
I felt like a jerk. Well I apologized and helped him pick them up.
So I get the instant coffee, come home, put water on to boil ... and cannot for the life of me open the jar. That lid is glued on there I think. Go back out, head to again, this time to Mickey D's and get a Newman's Own organics medium coffee, cream no sugar.
It tastes good, but I went through a lot of aggravation to get it, don't you think? I hope the rest of the day improves. Yikes. As for the coffee jar, I'll ask my strong son to open it when he gets up. I'm sure he will come to mama's rescue.
Little unimportant stuff going wrong is no big deal, 'tis true, but I thought I'd write about it anyway.
The End.
* Update: Cameron read my post and opened the jar when I wasn't home. What a kid!
