Back in August I wrote a blog venting about how some things were just happening at the exact wrong time. Time to vent about the timing of a few things again. :angry:
I rarely drive. Maybe three days a week (Wednesday, Saturday, Sunday). A week ago I was running wedding errands and my car wouldn’t start at one stop. I quietly thought good thoughts about my car and it started and everything was fine. Wednesday of this week it started protesting when I would start it. Tonight, no starting at all. Now, I was going to go get a routine oil change and tire rotation before driving to Utah in two weeks. I guess it’ll be more than that now. Major car repairs were not on the to-do list right now. And major car repairs were certainly not in our budget right now.
Next, I’m out of hot glue sticks. How this has happened I have no idea. I feel like I’m betraying all my mom taught me about having a two year supply. I do have the two year supply of Jell-O, but somehow I’ve managed to run out of glue sticks. And just when I had a whole bunch of stuff to glue too!
And just other little things that keep adding up.
But I have two, um, one and a half, containers of chocolate frosting and a spoon with a glass of cold milk. And Brett is absolutely amazing at helping me keep perspective and relaxing. :kiss: In fact, he brought me a dozen roses on Thursday just because. And my apartment smells so good because of it.
They fit right in on the table where I’m working on our wedding flowers.
I just don’t want to deal with my car right now.42D

Roses – Wonderful
Car repairs – not wonderful
Let me get this straight… you made those?! What?!!!
I made the ribbon flowers, but not the live roses. Nature made those ones.
Maybe you should try using Jell-O in the glue gun. You just might be the one who gets credit for an amazing discovery. Remember penecillin! :turtle:
Thickly mixed Jell-O is very sticky. I’ve had a spoon get stuck to a bowl before. But I don’t think that’s quite the effect we’re going for with the glue gun in this case.
The battery terminals were dirty and causing the cables to overheat and short. So it’s all fixed and it didn’t cost much at all. Yeah! To celebrate I stopped at the store and bought glue sticks on the way home.
