A lot happened today. Mostly good. Some not as good.
Here's the run-down:
GOOD
I got a guitar. I needed a guitar for work. Yes, I do play. Only a little.
I got to spend a little time with La, not planned time, but time (I'll get to the story in a moment)
I had lunch at Red Lobster. Also not planned, but it was yummy...
My dad and his friend helped me pick out the guitar (got a great deal) and my dad bought me a strap for it along with other various items. They also strung it and tuned it for me, and lowered the bridge. Whew! I was gonna have to do all THAT? Thanks fellas!
Not-so good:
I discovered a pretty sizeable dent in the hood of my van. No idea from whence it came...
I was trapped outside my house for ALMOST the whole day...
I did not shower before I left because I would only be gone 'for a little bit' - hmmm, that's ironic.
I went to a pawn shop this morning to look for aforementioned guitar and when I returned home around 11:30ish, the garage door would not open. It was jammed.
The other doors to the house were locked from the inside where you can only open them from the inside. NO Possible entry through anywhere but the garage...
I went to Red Lobster to hatch a plan.
Left with full tummies, but No plan. I went back to the house to try to break in with a credit card. Dumb. It was so very hot and I needed a potty.
I drove to La's house to crash her pad, *at naptime* I might add. We used her phone and her potty and played for a few minutes... I was stinky and greasy by now...
By the time I made it home, my husband had gotten away from work for a few minutes and like an expert, had broken in for me. Thanks!
The spring was snapped on the garage door.
I spent the rest of the afternoon trying to catch up on laundry and house work.
I played my guitar for too long and now my fingers hurt and typing is a chore.
It's off to bed for this tired lady!
That's the run-down.
Oh and one more thing, I skipped church because of a KILLA headache, that belongs under the 'Not-so good" category...

I like our unplanned visit. You should do it more often....
Last minute, Rainbows had to be canceled anyway because the teachers motorhome they were traveling back home in broke down and they couldn't get back in time. =( Julia was heart broken and your kids would have been too if you had brought them. I was glad you didn't come! Talk to you tomorrow.....
Did the goods and bads even each other out?
So glad you got a guitar. You probably should not have made it common knowledge. The requests will come rolling in from all sides. This side included.
hmmm...coincidence?
I'm learning to play the guitar (have been over the last 4 yrs) and my garage door got stuck this morning....hmmmm
my garage door spring broke too, two days before we were putting our house on the market. it was fabulous.
glad everything worked out okay in the end!
Mom reminded me that the only time in our 21 years in the Millbrook house that the garage doors worked correctly was after we called a garage door repairman to fix it just before we moved, so I would suggest that you do the same.
