New Week

Oh man am I glad it's a new week.

Did you miss me much last week?  I missed me.  Let me tell you I missed happy, baby-crazy, goofy me.  Because it was bad news bears.

I swore when I started this thing I wouldn't be someone who stood on a soapbox and complained.  You know, I'd find ways to put a positive spin on things. Make lemonade out of lemons.  I'd follow the old motto "if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all."

Which means that now and again, I may just have to go quiet.

And rather than go back and tell you about the no-good, very bad, horrible week that is thank goodness a part of the past now, I think I can hit a few highlights.

For instance, guess who didn't have to pay the $115 towing bill thanks to her husband's ability to write a Strongly Worded Letter.  Yep, that's right.  Watch out world, my J-Man can BS his way through a lawsuit threat.

Also, there was a return to church.  After a week like that you start to wonder if maybe a higher power is smiting you or something, so it was worth a shot.  And highlight there, during the passing of the Sacrament, which is you know, the most important and also the baby-noisiest portion of the whole service, this little kid started mumbling to his mother in a sing-song voice.  It took a few repetitions before everyone in our section was turning and asking one another, "is that kid saying 'waaaater, Jesus bloo-ood' over and over again?"  Weird!  Honestly people, isn't two years old a little young to be exploring the world of extended religious metaphors? Even if it does give the twenty people within earshot a little chuckle.

But to top it off, in spite of the work and personal and vehicular drama, there were Girl Scout Cookies.  Samoas, Caramel Delites, call them what you will.  I'll refer to them as heaven.  And everyone needs a little heaven now and again.

All in all it could've been worse.  Let's all keep our fingers crossed that this week brings a little more pep with its step.  And if anyone knows any cute or not-so-cute Brownies with leftover boxes of heaven, send 'em my way!
