The Sound Off!

No more then get home for the day with the boys in tow. It's a Friday the boys are always in tow on Fridays, I'm like a pug taxi! Anyway, we get home and after being home for about 10 minutes an annoying alarm sounds. It continued for about 10 seconds then took a break and continued about a minute later. I had just started a load of laundry so my first instinct was to check the washer. Nope, the washer was A-Okay. As the alarm sounds again I quickly made my way to the microwave. Now this is apparently how high-tech microwaves have become, where the clock is typically displayed it now featured a running message that told me it was a done-deal. Yes, it's a goner! But it was polite enough to sound off first! Man, with a microwave so high-tech as to tell me it's done for good, I almost think it deserves a proper burial.

I quickly look to see what time it is as I walk towards the phone. Wouldn't you know the microwave had to make it's exit 5 minutes until the office at our complex closes. The office did answer, but I of course received the line, "that will have to wait until Monday, we're closing right now."

So no microwave for an entire weekend!! Is this the dark ages? Yes I'm being dramatic. I can handle living without a microwave for a weekend but believe me things I can't do are currently rolling through my head. If only Mr. Microwave could have croaked on Thursday at closing time, I'm sure we would be enjoying a brand new one right now. Oh well, something to look forward to come Monday!
