Ever had one of those days?I'm having one now.
It all started when the dust catching gadget blew off my sander. Once I regained my vision, I decided it was time to stop sanding for the day and move onto other things.
So, I began to create a little sumthin for Gareth. Here I sat, creating away, giggling, happy as a clam, not bothering a soul when....
my friggin desk collapsed! I'm not kidding. It just toppled. Admittedly, I was trying to move it a little. But it broke! A desk doesn't just break. Well, maybe if it's real cheap it does. Mine was a little below real cheap. So there I stood valuables hitting the floor, arms wrapped around my monitor hanging on for dear life, yelling...."HELP! HELP! HELLLLP!
Luckily Jake came to the rescue and held the desk up while I stuffed books under my now broken bargain desk.
(I know what you're thinking and God was NOT either punishing me for messin with Gareth. I'm not making a bad thing. Least I don't think it's bad. Actually, it's kinda cute.)
Off I go into the kitchen cuz my coffee fell on the floor along with speakers and pretty much everything else. I needed more coffee. But guess what? The kitchen was flooded. For some reason...today, the dishwasher decided to wash the entire kitchen in addition to the dishes.
I got a towel down to sop up the mess Lucy flies in, nabs my soaking wet towel and takes off with it. round and round we ran...in a perfect circle one room to the next...over and over, while I shouted threats at her most dogs would shiver in their fur over.
Now here I sit at my broken desk with a cold cup of coffee, an idiot dog at my feet, while the bird sings........"I be odder wedder." for those of you who don't speak Webster.....basically he's just singing the oscar myer weiner song. He likes it. I don't know why.
So tell me, have you ever had one of those days? What happened?
Have I had one of those days. Well my day started out like one of those days today. Luckily the rest of it (so far) was better.
I jumped in the car this morning to head into work. Backed out, headed down the street to the first light, maybe a half mile from my house. The light was red so, like I always do, I started to brake a long ways before I got to the light. Thank goodness as the BRAKE light went on, the peddle went most of the way to the floor, and the car started to slow down but not very much at all. I managed to get it stopped before the light. Then, when possible I hung a U turn and went home. I dropped the car off and grabbed my newer one, scrapped all the ice off of if and headed into work.
How scary, I have never had brakes go out on me. Was that you Crabby, did I do you wrong somehow? Or were you just sharing the karma? Either way I am scared. I am going to a youth symphony tonight that SignGurl's oldest is in and who know what else will happen.
I have had those days where nothing seems to go right. You know, those days where you just sit down and laugh about it because crying isn't helping any. Just when you think it can not get worse, it does. But today was just not that bad.

Ive had those days one to many times. First the dishwasher then the damn washing machine now the dryer. When we get taxes back this year daughter and I plan on pooling ours together to buy new washer and dryer. Hubby just replaced the dishwasher so we are good to go on that for awhile. Daughter and I are looking at the duet washer and dryer. They cost a bundle but are suppose to be good energy savers and we need that they way we wash around here. especially now with a baby in the house.
That'll teach you to play dead.
I don't have time to comment on my worst day, but this has to do with Braman's comment.
One day, years and years back I was exiting the freeway only to find that my gas pedel was stuck. I took my foot off the gas, but the pedel stayed down. Jeez! I had to use my emergency break, the car tried to spin and I thank God I was able to keep it together. Come to think about it, I never did get a good explanation as to what caused it to stick.
Needless to say, I was out shopping for new cars the next day. I just didn't trust that car after that. btw, it was a 1972 Malibu, pretty, but scary.
The whole saga is very simply explained:
It's just the natural consequence of having an evil sander. It blew (carefully premeditated because it waited till the bag was full), terrifying the poor desk (which began to shake but you couldn't see it because of the sawdust in your eyes). The desk had been looking for a way of getting that awful non-Horton coffee outta there anyway. So the dishwasher - really your only true friend in this whole saga - was just trying to clean up the mess in the only way she knew how. Lucy and Webster did all they could to amuse you (but animals don't always get it when it comes to how to be amusing...)
Simple. Punish the sander.
oh, I had a perfectly shitty day today too. You see, its already Friday over here and it started the moment I went into the office till now, shortly after 2PM. People were just surrounding my desk, talking all at ones, NOT leaving if they see I'm busy. it was just nuts.
Are office people just awakening on Friday? Jeeez.
Have a nice weekend, I'm ready to go.
Hi guys,
you mighta figured by now since I've been MIA all day but...
I've got quite mucked up day going here today. makes yesterday's look like vacation time.
Anyhow, I love you all but I'm pretty sure I've been hexed or something cuz I'm having some mighty shitty luck.
I'll be back soon as I get stuff squared away and catch some sleep maybe.
Oh niiiiiice, so I guess I'm going to get the blame for this one too :P
I would like to firmly and categorically put in on the record that I was nooooo where near the table when it fell. I would also like to state that I did not put a voodoo curse on you and nor did I send any of my leprechaun posse to mess your day up for you. That being said I may have employed the services of a small winged creature to sneakily place a piece of yellow squishy slippery butter near your feet which was heavily impregnated with lots of little marbles. However I do not admit to doing this and it was your own fault for not noticing that workplace hazard so on the grounds of health and safety I believe I will legally escape any community service that may be heaped upon me. Furthermore, whetherto and in conclusion what ever it was and how ever it happened I DID NOT DO IT!!!
*leprechaun goes and hides now* :)
I posted my new work schedule. Squirrel SAYS, she'll take some Mondays off so the three of us can hang out.
I am in need of a sister day out. Besides, Easton has probably recovered from the last day we spent there.
Jeez! How was I suppose to know, they'd get mad when I moved the maniquin out to the mall area?
Check your shoes before you leave.
No, not ever for me.
