here we go again!

well it was another red letter day at our house.  after a near kitchen fire that scared the bejeezus out us (the oven's heating element shorted out) we discovered our cockatiel had died. i know what your thinking and i am not slowly but surely killing off our animals but even i am starting to wonder, what the hell is going on around here?  seriously, if there is a gypsy out there that has put a curse on me, or some voodoo priestess that is poking some doll with needles somewhere because i have offended them, i am so very sorry.  whatever i did to you, cannot possibly warrant what is going on around me and to the people i care about.  now if it turns out that this is just how life is... i say FML!!!!!!
