Well its been a week

Lets see, what was that I was saying about a boring weekend? Remind me never to say that again.

Well Sunday night they were predicting storms for our area, ok, no big deal. Well by 8/9pm we were under a tornado watch. Got off the puter, at the request of dh, and went to bed. Was awoken about 10pm when the lights flashed, got up and all of a sudden a massive storm hit. They're not calling it a tornado, just straight line winds of 100 mph. Thank god we are all OK, obviously or I wouldn't be here, but we did have about $4/5,000 worth of damage done to the outside of the house. Our fence is completely over and our garage door was destroyed. Thank goodness for homeowners insurance. I ended up staying home from work on Monday, got the fence guy out and he did an estimate and got all the proper claims filed with the insurance company. Heard back today with the name and number of the inspector and a promise that he would contact me by tomorrow night. Hopefully he will come quickly so that we can get the fence back up, the moose are not happy with the itty bitty pen dh built for them to do their business.

OK, back to work on Tuesday, waiting for a call from the furniture company about our delivery for tomorrow. I had my fingers crossed that it would be a late afternoon delivery, since I already had to take Monday off. No such luck, got the call, delivery between 9 and 1. Crap, now its pretty much guaranteed that I have to take all of tomorrow off. I'm now down 16 hours for the week! But I am excited about my new furniture.

Oh but Fudgey, you will appreciate my little oops of the day today...I have to have 2 ID badges for work, well I usually weare them on a long nylon cord around my neck. For some reason this afternoon I clipped it to the top of my jeans and proceeded to go to the ladies room. Well as I'm walking out of the ladies room I feel something on my leg and realize that the cord that was dangling down had got dunked in the toilet bowl. Needless to say it is now in the trash! OK everyone have a good laugh at my expense now, it was all I could do at this point.

There were a few other minor mishaps along the way that I won't bore you with, lets just say its been a crappy week!

But then.....I get home and the wonderful, lovely Marie had sent me the new Selina Fenech sketch. Its got trolls and a dragon and everything. I just adore Selina's sketches and adore her trolls even more. Thanks again Marie!

If you've made it this far, I commend you. Thanks for the support!
