Curse of the signed contract?

We're hoping it's merely a coincidence, but since we signed the contract we've had a bit of bad luck. The microwave died (only needed it 6 more months!), our stereo's central speaker went out at the amp, and yesterday our clothes dryer and digital camera passed away. ARG! So, we have ordered our new washer and dryer a bit earlier than expected. Fortunately we have discovered that architects can get great discounts on appliances through a special website, but the entire situation is just so frustrating!! Special thanks to Kiki and Seth for the use of their microwave for the rest of the year.
