Things keep breaking!!!

I think it's me, that is the only variable that has changed in the last month and ever since I got home things seem to be breaking, and not just random things, things that I am around, and the ones that I use on a regular basis. Want examples? Oh, I'll give you examples, because I have freaking plenty of those: DVD player, vacuum cleaner and hair dryer. I mean how can 3 things that I need go broken in just a matter of the last 3 weeks. COME ON. SERIOUSLY?
Of course, this should come at no other timing but when we are on a budget :) It's like God is trying to test us as to how closely we will stick to our agreed budget, that we have been trying to be very good about (good meaning very closely). Unfortunately, we did not foresee 3 very important things breaking in our house, and did not really take that into account (budget wise :)) Anyway, the vacuum cleaner technically still makes noise and turns on, it just does not suck anything up, which is the same as broken. Matt even took it all apart to see if it was clogged up or something, nope, just stupid cleaner decided to quit working on us.
Our DVD player broke when Matt's folks were in town, it worked the night before, but when they came to visit and we decided to settle for a nice movie watching evening, it just did not want to play any DVDs, and it did not want to work the next day either. We did get a new DVD player though, because Matt's folks were generous enough to surprise us with a new DVD player, and it's a very nice one, definitely much nicer than what we would have bought. Then, two days ago I took a shower and thought I was going to dry my hair, but nope, had to go with the airdrying it, because my stupid hair dryer would not turn on. I mean I used it the day before, what the heck happened during the night?
Anyway, I am not buying Revlon hair dryer anymore, nor will I purchase any Eureka vacuum cleaner ever, in fact the only vacuum cleaner that I will get is Dyson, because I don't care if I have to spend extra as long as I know that it's reliable and will last me a few years!!!!
So, that is my tale of hair freaking dryer, vacuum stupid cleaner and DVD dumb player. If you want to get something new in your house but haven't had a chance because your old stuff still works, well, just invite me over, because shit seems to malfunction and break around me!!!
No worries, I am still in a great mood, just getting a little "excited" about this whole situation!!!

Well, the hair dryer will get replaced tomorrow or Saturday and the Vacuum cleaner is a week away. Though if it really bothers you we can haul the shop vac up. The only problem with that is it may suck too well for what we need.
