So... Here's where we're at with the car & refrigerator situation. No luck on my car, but we will work some more on that on Friday. No luck on Carlos' car, but now it has decided that whenever you turn the car off three of the doors unlock (and have to be relocked manually). The refrigerator is working again, but we have to have it plugged into an extension cord because the electricity on half of our kitchen is not working (maybe the refrigerator malfunction & electricity shortage are tied together...). Our garbage disposal is not working due to the electricity problem, and anything that we'd like to use that is on that side of the kitchen either needs to be plugged into an extension cord, or transported to the other side of the kitchen.
So... on a lighter note.. please watch the following video:

Broken Items
So this past week has been a week of misfortune.
My car has been having troubles and hasn't been running for at least a couple of weeks now. Carlos and I are in the process of trying to figure out what's wrong with it. So... We have been carpooling in his car. Now the steering wheel in his car decided to fall off yesterday. After he re-afixed the steering wheel the turning signals decided that they didn't want to work anymore. So that's our car situation.
We bought a brand new refrigerator a year ago because the freezer in our old refrigerator stopped working. Well, after a few months with our brand new refrigerator, it stopped freezing things as well. Instead of providing us with a replacement, the company insisted on having it repaired, but they needed to take it to their "shop" to repair it. After a couple of weeks or so we finally got our refrigerator back in working order. Now, as of this week, the freezer stopped working once more! Ugh! It is especially frustrating because our 1-year warranty has run out, and we are thinking that they will no longer repair it for free (even though this problem first began only after a couple of months or so after the purchase).
Each time our freezer has quit working we had been storing food in our friend's freezer (who is also our neighbor). However, he is now preparing to move to the UAE. So... hopefully this freezer issue can be resolved quickly and without too much loss of food.
For now... we'll just be cruising around in a car with a loose steering wheel and no turning signals.
