HAPPIES

1. Pearl and I are on the mend (see Crappies #1) and are doing better since Saturday. Her burns are scabbing which means they’re starting to heal, and my bruises are trying to go away.

2. I made my dad’s famous pico de gallo for our luncheon at work today. I’m kind of psyched and will probably be the only one practically drinking it, but hey, it’s all good.

3. I finally saw the Duck Dynasty episode where John Luke gets dental work done. Needless to say, I’ve been in a pretty rotten mood since the accident, and this episode had me DYING with phrases like “Bend over and I’ll show you!” or “Bumblebee Tuna”. If you haven’t seen the entire episode, you definitely need to. It’ll turn your crappy day into a happy day.

CRAPPIES

1. Well, as you know from my Pet Owner’s PSA post Pearl and I were in a car wreck last Saturday. I am in a bout of slight depression because 1) I caused my dog to be hurt, 2) I racked up hefty hospital and vet bills for us to be checked up, 3) I ruined my car and we’re dealing with insurance issues that are MY fault. It’s been a rough week for me. It really has.

2. I feel as though everything is going wrong this week. I broke one of our wedding gifts- a monogrammed spoon rest, and I’m really upset about it. Practically EVERY time we do the dishes, one of us breaks something. It’s so annoying because they’re like random accidents but half my glasses have broken, a bowl, my Rachael Ray olive oil dispenser, and now this! Ugh!

Mathew and I are sharing the jeep until my car gets fixed. I hate driving it even though it used to be my car 6 months ago just because it wastes so much gas on my drive back and forth to work. I definitely could use some prayers that my car gets fixed faster.

Now it’s your turn to link up! Tell us about the Happies and Crappies from your week!
