I'm thankful to have the distraction of the football game later today...because other things don't wanna make me happy today! Other things like the car!...the car that still doesn't wanna work even after hubby spent half the day trying to get it repaired! UGH!
Guess what?!...We now have a new fuel filter?!....But guess what else?!....The car STILL isn't working!!! :-( So, what we thought was gonna be a peaceful Sunday where we got our spiritual information for the brain, and physical food and the BIG game, for the body and mood, is not gonna be! :-(
Instead hubby is gonna be running around all day trying to get the car working so that he can get back and forth to work this week....or else he may have to be home. :-( ...All of the uncertainty about it has my stomach in a knot!...I wanted to be knee deep in a great big football smile right about now!....Aargh! I even got a gift from TweetEvents this morning to get me in the mood!...
She sent me some free printable toppers and food labels to help us get prepared for the game! (She sent them as a "Thank You" for my sharing her printables on my blog post yesterday!) :-) Wasn't that nice?!...I hadn't expected her to do that, but I sure appreciate it! :-) It gave me something to smile about in all my car aggravation today...Grrrrrr! Cars!!!!
Oh Well....I need to follow this advice...
Thankfully I still do have a couple of things to keep my 'down' mood in a manageable place. One being the fact that I got a custom order for three small crochet flowers. I'm gonna be working on those today...purply-blue!
The other being the pillow covers I started working on just to amuse myself, and to do something with my hands while I was waiting for car news yesterday...
I had six small skeins of this specialty yarn. four black, two white. For the longest time I've just been moving them from one place to another here in the house, waiting for the inspiration of what to do with them!...I put two strands of white 'Caron Simply Soft' yarn alongside a strand of the frilly black specialty yarn yesterday, and decided that I'd make a little shoulder shawl out of them...but as I was crocheting I realized that it wasn't gonna be enough yarn for a shawl. :-( So.....a pillow cover it is!...
I finished one side of it...
At that point I was just itching to see what the white specialty yarn would look like worked up!...So I put two strands of white 'Caron Simply Soft' alongside the white strand of frilly specialty yarn, and starting working up one side of a pillow cover with it....
I'm almost finished with this side now too...
Now I'm gonna have to see if I'm gonna have enough yarn to finish the other halves! LOL...I'm not mentally into all that kind of figuring right now!...I've got to be emotionally supportive to a frustrated and 'at his wits end' husband whose not sure how he's gonna get to work tomorrow!...and still have enough energy to get excited for the game later!! O_O
Oh Yeah! I feel just like dancing a jig!!! ^_^...
...NOT!!!!
Suffice it to say, I hope your day turns out better than mine is starting!!....Actually, I hope mine does too! O_O
Never As Expected
Why can't things go as expected?
No left turn. No oops!...'Snafu'!
There's always got to be a fly
in the ointment, soup or stew!
Why can't things go as they should,
Without a hitch, impending doom?
Instead of 'Steady as she goes'!
There's always Click, click, click! Then BOOM!!
