I'm All for Stimulating the Economy But...

Give me a break...I'm tired of things breaking around here, it's just one after another. This year, we've had to purchase a new vacuum cleaner and then I accidentally dropped the Belgian waffle maker. Of course, we cannot live without that especially now that I found the recipe for the Liege waffles we tried in Belgium. Then today, guess what? The blender gear broke. I had the sliced mangoes, ice cubes, water and sugar in the blender and after I pressed 'on' I heard this weird sound. Uh-oh, that doesn't sound right. Sure enough, when I took the pitcher off, the black gear was shattered. Somehow, the blade was stuck and would not turn. I knew that it's going to be a pain to replace the gear since one needs to open up the main motor part. *sigh* I'll have to check the web for info on this Kitchen Aid blender. It might be cheaper to purchase a new one. I've had this for 8 years now and I never thought it's going to break on me. What's next? I hope the answer to that is nothing although I would like a new patio furniture. Oh well, looking at the bright side of things, I'll get to choose a different color blender this time.

  2. In my experience it is always cheaper to get a new one than have it repaired. Yup, get a new color for a change ;-0
