The dishwasher started acting up on Thanksgiving. We were sitting around in the living room and I looked at Paige and asked if the dishwasher just started. It did. Then it did it again. Then I decided something was trying to tell me to do the dishes. I loaded it and hit start. Later that evening it started beeping. A couple of days ago it wouldn't start. I finally got it going after cutting the power off and back on (the answer to everything) and pressing other buttons but I don't have time for that everyday. Yesterday I got it started three hours after it was loaded. I called the Sears repairman.
So yeah, It seems like I'm trying to find ways to spend money on everything other than where it needs to be spent. Then I saw this.
This is a thing.
A dog DNA test. Seriously?
Seriously. And it's even on sale. Oh, FYI, the top of the ad reads "0% reindeer, 89% golden retriever". Okay, so that part is kind of cute.
I guess this is the perfect gift for the dog lover who has everything.
I don't know but just to put it out there before anyone tries to read into this, I don't need one.
That's $179 I'll put towards the dishwasher repair.
It's not all bad news around here though. Kroger has a coupon to get 4 times the fuel points when you buy gift cards. I bought some gift cards. Cosme saved $1/gallon when he filled up and there's more where that came from.
I need to go back today and buy more.
Oh! I wonder if I can pay for my Sears repair with a Sears gift card? I wish I knew how much it was going to be. I'd head over to Kroger right now. I'm sure I could be back before he got here in that 8-12 window. Oops, I guess it'd be better if I got the dishes unloaded before he gets here.
Now let's just hope it's a fast and easy fix... with a non Maytag part.
