Updates

At the beginning of the month, I posted that I was going to try to figure out where the internal leak in our fridge is coming from. I made no progress in this department until I was unpacking some groceries yesterday and saw a drop of water fall from the roof of the fridge behind the light bulb. Noticed a considerable puddle on the shelves beneath. Aha ... but I'm still not an appliance repair-person!

In May, I was sitting in our computer room, happily blogging, when I was interrupted by a bumblebee. I panicked and ran, shutting the bee in the room for Chris to deal with when he got home from work. The bee was nowhere to be found when he checked in the evening, but this weekend I discovered a dead one on the floor on the far side of the futon in the computer room ... :)

And this weekend we finally kicked off the "Raised-Bed Gardening Experiment" - the dirt is in, and so are snap peas, some yellow onions, and some heads of romaine lettuce. Hopefully the neighbourhood squirrels don't mistake the lettuce for La-Z-Boys and settle their big furry behinds in ...

Thank goodness you found the bee....dead. Otherwise you would have (or I would have) been freaked out, wondering where in the heck it was!

Hope you figure out your leak problem. I laughed out loud picturing a squirrel sitting in the lettuce. I hope this doesn NOT happen.

I'm thinking of a hawk, spotting a squirrel laying on a bed of lettuce, and thinking "what a nice plating of that dish".

I thought I would say you can fix that internal fridge leak by yourself. We just did this weekend, based on directions from the Appliance Aid link you had posted. I was inspired! Ours was a pretty serious leak, that resulted in water completely filling the bottom of the fridge in about 24 hours and then leaking all over the kitchen floor. Appliance Aid has a fride FAQ that includes a question about "why is my refrigerator leaking inside?" The answer gives directions and a picture. It's fairly easy, although I did unplug the refrigerator it probably isn't necessary. I can imagine that a pregnant belly may not be the most maneuverable situation for fridge repair. I just cleaned out the freezer defrost cup and squirted some hot water down the tube (as best as I could...) and now our fridge is water free more than 5 days later.
