It can only get better..

Yes, it's been one of those weekends! Actually, it started on Wednesday, when I called and cancelled my debit card because I thought I lost it. I was literally hanging up the phone when it fell out of my wallet! ARGH! I called them right back, but it was of course too late and I would have to wait a week and a half for a new one. My life line..my baby..what would I do without it? Anyhow, things didn't start tumbling downhill until Friday, when I was on my way to a meeting. Dark street, rush hour, and I'm distracted by a woman standing on the side of the road next to a car parked in the right hand driving lane. I keep my eyes on her and the car, in case she was going to jump out and jay walk. Next thing I know, I hear a BANG, a woman screaming and a car honking..and a dog yelping!! I nailed a doggy! And right in front of it's owner.. *sniff* I pulled over and waited for traffic to clear so I could go back and see if the dog was okay and to apologize to the owner (who should have had the dog on a leash in the first place AND had one of her 3 friends stop traffic so she could get the dog rather than standing there waiting for it to come back to the sidewalk..but that's besides the point) A car pulled up and told me it wasn't my fault and the dog looked okay but I should go back and check. I told her that's just what I was going to do. But by the time I got there, the dog had taken off and everyone was scattered. So I left. Thought that was the end of my bad weekend? Just wait..there's more..After I left the meeting with my leftover cherry cheesecakes (little muffin sized) on a plate on my front seat, I thought all was well. Then some loser cut me off and I had to slam on my brakes..resulting in one of em landing IN my purse and on upside down on the floor mat! What a mess! So, I figure I better call it a night and stay in my safety net of a house. I couldn't fall asleep until after 5:30am but I had my alarm set for 9:45am, so I could meet my Aunts and Gramma in Richmond for my very belated birthday lunch. My alarm goes off, I wake up, look at the clock and it said 12:35!!! WHAT?? I have NO idea how it did that, because I set it specifically at 9:45! Well..I was now a half hour late for lunch and more than an hour's drive away!!! How frustrating! So, we've postponed it until next week. At least we'll get to celebrate Auntie Wendy's "unbirthday" as well. (Leap Year baby!) And that is my weekend in a nut shell..and it's only half over!! However, there was a couple good things that came out of the bad.
~Not having to into Richmond meant I could get a temp. debit card (phew, I only had $10 in my wallet..hehe)
~Nailing that fluffy dog meant I now have one clean patch on my car..all I gotta do is wash the rest to match!
