LSM: 2 perfect Saturdays ruined.

Back in the day, Dan would finish his studying friday night at 5 and be done until Monday. Like I have written before, those days have changed and he usually ends up studying all day Saturday also. Making  Saturday just seem like another day of the week.
Well, this month we got lucky and Dan was going to be done studying around noon and we would have the entire day to play together. We planned swimming, eating, and Christmas shopping. Those plans went right out the window at around 11am the first Saturday.
The kids and I were playing "pirate island,"and Stori hid her treasure in my bedroom. To make sure no one found it, she locked the door before she walked out. The funny thing about our apartment is: all the doors have locks, the doors lock from the inside, and….wait for it…the doors don't come with a key to open them. So we contacted our landlord. "Ya, we don't have a key either. We meant to change that before you moved in…" Awesome. So we contacted a locksmith in SLC (40 minutes away) and he said it would be $19 just to come take a look. So after he took a look, he explained that it would be an addition $125 to screw through the doorknob. Well dan apologized for making him drive all the way here, gave him the $19 and told him we would figure something out. The nice young man took pity on us and gave dan the bit for his drill that would be strong enough to go through it, and even told us how to do it before he left. So about 6pm we finally got in our room, but the kids were too tired to go party. Saturday #1=wasted.

Saturday #2…
Same study situation, done at noon. More partying planned. different bump in the road.
This time I noticed around 9am that our fridge wasn't working. Freezer wasn't working either. All that Tillamook ice cream we just bought was ruined. :( Along with everything else in there. Dan contacted the landlord again and we had to wait for him to come measure our fridge so he could go get one. Turns out our fridge is a size that has to be pre ordered. {Of course} He told us it wouldn't be in until Wednesday. After going through our fridge and trying to decide if we could make things work by just using a cooler, we discovered it wasn't going to work. $100 later and we are now the proud owners of a mini fridge. It sits on our counter and decides to freeze our food solid instead of just keeping it cold. Awesome.
It is such a pain, and it totally ruined our day (and week)
Saturday #2=wasted.

The funny part? Our landlord thought we were calling to tell him our dishwasher died because it is so old.
I'm sure it will decide to die this saturday.

haha and here is a cute picture of my LSM (law school man). I feel bad all these stressful things are going on at the most stressful part of the semester. Lets hope for a stress-free next 2 weeks.
