Sunday afternoon I was making brownies, went to check on them and the oven was stone cold. The brownies were still batter. It had been warm when I put them in, but 30 minutes later, nothing. I have a brand new oven–just over a year old so I was super annoyed. Mostly because the warranty just ran out. The digital display wasn’t doing anything, but the stovetop worked. So we headed over to my mom’s, cooked the brownies and came home late. I fully expected to have to either pay for a really expensive repair or buy a new oven. But once again, I underestimated the fixing abilities of BJay. After locating the breaker to the oven outlet and a $6 trip to Lowes, my oven is good as new. Brilliant. We have never in our married life payed for a car to go to a mechanic. Nor did we have to hire an electrician like I thought we would to install lights in the family room where there was no overhead lighting. The ability to fix things is supernatural to me. I just don’t get how things work. So I am always amazed when BJay is able to tackle blown head-gaskets, tiling the bathroom and kitchen, repairing non-functioning cars, computers, ovens. I really think he’s a genius. I wonder how much money we’ve saved over the years. Now if he could only figure out how to do our dental work and deliver babies. Totally kidding!
