When I woke up this morning, I got a cramp in my leg that almost sent me through the roof. That should have told me to keep my ass in bed and forget about even attempting to start my day!                                              

  But did I heed the warning? Of course not!

The day's first disaster came when I thought it would be a good idea to attempt to FINALLY do some serious cleaning in my bedroom. I've had mounds of 'fat clothes' to get rid of for 4 years now....no one will let me throw them away!! All I hear is, "donate them to charity" or "donate them to a church"....Well guess what. There are no charities in this area that take 4 year old fat boy clothes and there are no churches in the area that are in dire need of 3X shirts and size 40-44 dress slacks and jeans (again, 4 years old!)....so I'm stuck with two big plastic totes and 3 large bags of these clothes! So....I sorted, folded, and put the clothes away neatly (they're all still in great shape by the way!) in the closet of the spare bedroom. Mission accomplished. While I was in that closet, I came upon a reminder of ANOTHER project I've been meaning to take care of for FIVE years (the length of time I've been in this house)....changing the mirror on my dresser. It's an OLD bedroom set that was apparently made for (and by) someone barely 5 feet tall, because when I stand in front of my dresser, I can only see from my chin down in this mirror. Trust me, that's not handy when you're trying to primp for work in the morning! So I'd gotten this bigger mirror from my grandmother's house when my cousin sold the place last year and decided it'd make the perfect replacement. Wouldn't you know the damn thing almost came crashing down on my head when I was securing it to the wall.

Next disaster:
I video taped my sister's surprise birthday party last October, and since that time she's been hounding me to give her a copy of it...on DVD. Well, in order to do THAT, I have to first upload it to my computer, which I didn't have the capability to do until a few months ago. Then I have to actually burn it to disc....easy enough right? Guess again. Today I decide I'm FINALLY going to do this....but that comes to a screeching halt when the wireless adapter for my computer goes KAPUT! For the less "techy type" folks out there, I'll put it in simpler terms: no adapter, no internet. No internet, no way to transfer this to my computer (with this type of transfer thingie)!        Now, if that wasn't bad enough, I end up dealing with THIS particular problem for a good majority of the day. I finally break down into hysterics and bite the bullet: it's time for another adapter. So off to Wal-mart I go. They don't make this kind of adapter anymore, so I opt for the newer version:

Wal-mart chick: I'm sorry sir, we don't have that one in stock. We only have the more expensive one.

Me: Thanks.

I head to the OTHER Wally World in town because I am NOT going to spend more money than I have to. Guess what.....I get to the other store and the cheaper one at the first store was the same price as the more expensive one at the first store. So I end up with the one that was more expensive at the first store in the first place!

If even THAT wasn't enough to make me consider taking a dirt nap by my own hand, listen to THIS:

On the way home from Walmart, I decide to go through McDonald's for a bite to eat. I opt for a double cheeseburger and large tea. So I get out of the parking lot, take a swig of the tea and begin to put the cup back into my cup holder. You'd think that would be a simple task.

Not for me.

Beside the cup holder is a little compartment for holding pens, etc.....well, as I'm putting the cup into what I *THINK* is the cup holder, it goes down onto a pen in the pen holder and pokes a hole in the bottom of the cup, which results in 32 ounces of sweet (STICKY) tea all over the floor, the passenger seat, the gear shift, the cup holder thing, the steering wheel, and ME.

*sigh
With a day like THIS, I can only IMAGINE what Monday will bring!
