The Dishwasher.

You remember.  The never-ending saga of our dishwasher, officially broken since mid-May.  It happened again on Monday.  The repairman came out.  Asked where the piece was to replace the basin.  Sam had already called Sears.  He had been told the repairman would have it with him.  Of course, he did NOT.  You will NEVER believe what happened next . .

He FINALLY declared our dishwasher DEAD, as in "it will never work again".  Six long months, multiple repair visits, too many parts ordered (right and wrong!), and now it was officially DEAD.

Sears called yesterday because we are on the "replacement plan".  After about an hour and a half on the phone last night, we are supposed to be getting a NEW (UPGRADED!) dishwasher next Tuesday morning.

I think I'll believe it when I see it.
