Nasty freezer!
I just cleaned out the freezer with a nice strong Cosmo in my system (complete with a cocktail onion and garlic-stuffed olive). The drink sort of blocked out some of the smell, but I have to say that the bile was seriously rising. And I am NOT the kind of person that has a weak stomach - I dissected a nasty cat in high school, ok? Cat food still in the stomach, babies in the womb still - THAT was an experience. Well the freezer wasn't pretty, but I got it done. It will stink around here for a while, but I have a theory as to why the freezer stopped working. It's funny that my husband (the electrician - yeah, he does it all!) didn't figure this one out, but here goes... A couple of Saturdays ago Blaine put our new fountains in the garden area on the porch. He had to cut out the huge tree in order to make room, but now we have fountains! Yay! Anyway, Tariah was so stoked that she started playing with the fountains and ended up shorting the outlet that the small fountain was connected to. DUH - the freezer was probably on the same circuit. I actually JUST talked to Blaine on the phone, and he is agreeing with me. Good man.
