Electronic Meltdown

Bad things come in threes, right? Here are mine from the weekend (which was otherwise quite blissful as usual):

1. While doing a bit of yard work, Bill chopped through our cable. I won't notice or miss the TV at all, of course, but internet? Ouch! Email? Double ouch! (Right now I am sitting by my open bedroom window so I can pick up my beloved neighbor's wireless signal (she won't mind, I promise).

2. Today my semi-new cell phone got about one drop of water on it in our swim bag and it seems deader than a doornail. If you need to reach me, don't count on my cell phone. It's almost a mercy killing, in a way, because I canNOT get used to this stupid phone. I want a different one.

3. My camera is cold dead and I can't find the power cord. I think I put it somewhere during our frenzy of tidying up for a house showing two weeks ago. I HATE not having my camera, of course. I have already missed at least three cute pictures of my sweeties, just in one day.

I should fix #2 and #3 by getting a new camera cell phone, right? And broadband would fix #1, right? Or I could just keep sitting by the window, hope my phone dries out and then charge it back up, and look harder for the camera cable. I'm sure it's somewhere totally obvious, like in the kids' library book bag or something.

Hope your Labor Day was fabulous! Goodbye summer...hello football!
