My fabulous husband, the wonderful King of our Castle, the Honorable Sergio is in very good grace with me today.
He "fixed" my stove top! I don't know what he did (he isn't even sure what he did) but the important thing is that it is working. At least two of the burners. We are still working on the the other two. We think air or water/moisture got in the gas lines and stopped it.
I am a happy Queen, able to cook!
Hip Hip Hurray!

Little Black Dress
Every woman should own at least one little black dress. It is perfect for so many events. I have four. Two are very summery, casual, and comfy. Not at all for dress up. The two others I have had for 10-15 years, truly well worth the money, as I have worn them to so many occasions. One is a suit dress, that has seen weddings, funerals, Dinners, and Closings (Realtor years). The final one is a longer, sexy yet subtle, dress I have affectionately dressed up & down to accommodate a slue of events.
Amazing how a strand of pearls and make a black dress classy and some Cheetah print shoes can add add flare and sass.
Last night we had an Awards Dinner to attend in Terre Haute (two hour drive). All along I had planned on wearing one of the above mentioned little black dresses. I decided to try them on in the morning to make the decision. Good thing I did! It appears my rear has gotten a tad bit bigger than I had thought over the year. It REFUSED to be squished into either dress!
So, defeated, I took Sergio along with me to find a new "Little Black Dress" that may accomadate my big fat rear-end! After more searching than I thought should be necessary and spending a tad bit more than I had hoped, I found a lovely dress to "Wow" myself through the evening.
I added it to the Black dress collection. I hope that soon I can resume the other two dresses, as I really love them and not ready to part ways with them (I am ready to part ways with my apparent big ass).

What a Friend I have in Whirlpool!
I am thrilled to have my new Washer & Dryer working now! WE HAVE ELECTRICAL OUTLETS IN ORDER NOW!
I think everyone should have to go without their washer and dryer for a couple of weeks to truly appreciate having them! It has been an tough couple of weeks not to get clothes dirty. To have piles of dirty clothes, towels, and blankets growing in my bedroom. Picking out the things we really need then to go on a field trip to the Laundromat.
What an interesting place. Been there twice now in the past couple of weeks and I hope to never return. Things have changed since, "back in the day". (That would be 20 plus years ago in the apartment days.) Besides, you need close to $20 just to do a few loads these days!
Yes, I have learned to truly appreciate the washer and dryer. I am sitting here listening to them purr together in harmony. What Bliss!
Oh, and the best part! Sergio did not get electrocuted!
Now, if I can just figure out this dang Jenn-Aire gas stove and why I can't get my burners lite!
