Going in Circles

For every step forward in the home owner thing there seems to be a step back.

I haven't been living in the house for a whole week yet and I'm already onto my second electrical issue. The first was a flicker (not to be confused with flickr) in the "great" room, kitchen, and outside lights - turned out to be an easy fix, something about an old breaker (I know nothing about electric). The second issue is now all the outlets in the kitchen are on the fritz, I was trying to make dinner (White Castle in the microwave) and the power to the outlet kept going out and then coming back on. . . so I plugged the fridge into an outlet in the "great" room and went to bed hungry.

One bright spot - I've got cable!! No having to go to my mom's for Mad Men or Grey's, woohoo!
