The trials of being a home owner.

It's been one of those weekends. The ones where everything in your house keeps breaking. Or, rather, you discover that things are broken.

First of all, my isight isnt working. Its strange, because the little green light on it lights up, but it's not getting a picture. I think maybe when the puppy stepped on my laptop she knocked something lose? I dont know, but I see a trip to the mac store in my future.

Second, our fence is leaking. We have a six foot privacy fence, and about half of it has seen better days. Our shed is kind of built in to the fence, and the shed is raised off the ground. The dogs have discovered how to get under the shed and belly crawl all the way to freedom. We keep puppy proofing it, they keep finding a new way out. It is the circle of life.

Third, and most of all, our pool pump cracked. Apparently, over the winter, we didn't *quite* get all of the water out of the reservoir for the pump. It cracked. Tiny tiny little cracks all the way around the bottom. When it finally came time to turn it on, and water started gushing out of the bottom, I can't even tell you the dissapointment. Fortunately my hubbles, who is also my personal hero, knows how to do things like use fiberglass resin. I think he's fixed it. Today will tell for sure.

*Update* The pool is still broken, but I fixed the isight! Ever since mac switched to intel chips it's picky about things. I apparently needed to actually *shut down* after my last update, not just restart. Go figure.
