Today was one of those days where you wish you could just be 4 again and declare "Do OVER"!
Woke up early...got ready for work...fell asleep on the couch watching The Brady Bunch. Jerk awake 15 minutes before I am supposed to be at work...zoom out the door. Get in my truck...speed to work...catching ever red light there is and two there weren't (stupid stop signs). Shock the shocks by flying over speed bumps in the parking lot....running (well speed walking as i never run) inside and slide into my chair only 5 minutes late. Impressive I think to myself. Who should be hoovering right around my desk looking at my lack of punctuality but my new boss. way to impress em Deb!
8 hours later I am driving by this mini van with a blown out tire. A little old man was driving the van and he didn't look like he could change the tire himself...so i stop....i offer to change his tire for him. Now I realize I am not the most convincing of handymen...however...i change a mean tire! So i ask this old codger if he needs help and he says he does but he won't be getting it from "any redheaded woman!" Now at this point i am thinking to myself that perhaps his brain isn't functioning 100% as who turns down an offer to change a tire? By the time he stopped chewing me out for being a woman and daring to stop to help him I was quite happy to get back into the truck and leave with all four of MY healthy tires. Sheesh!
Then i get home....to a soiled carpet next to my door as poor Rafiqe didn't get to go outside since i zoomed out the door only focused on getting to work on time. So i clean my floor...mop and wash the rug. I take the boy to the dog park and we play for about an hour...i come home...switch my laundry (i HATE doing laundry) and just as I am done with the laundry there is a knock on my door.
Who was at my door? The HOA president...apparently my landlord hasn't paid the HOA dues for roughly 7 months and they are going to be shutting off the water in 7 days. So I tell the not very nice president that i'll get ahold of my landlord...call her number...disconnected. NICE not sure what to do next...a litte game of hunt and kill the landlord seems appropriate! If only there wasn't that pesky commandment about not killing! Maybe God didn't mean landlords? Hmmmmm
It's now 8 pm....there is no chance whatsoever i will be working out tonight otherwise i will be awake all night....so i am still on 2/250 for the year. ACK

Your writing style is very entertaining. Sorry you had such a BAD day! Just ignore Mr. Rudo with his comments about red hair. (We red-heads should unite and rule the world. Be scared of us, be very, very afraid.....) ha ha ha
Red heads rule. I hope the other 3 tires blew.
LOL Barb...a poet...and i bet ya didn't know it. (winks)
Trialady...wa ha ha ha...(The pinky and the Brain theme song playing in the backgroud) Redheads to take over the world! I think God is a red head ;)
