Go ahead, laugh!
It's been one of those couple of days. Just when I get my groove on, something happens to put a kink in the works.
I woke early on this day, put on some nice clean springy clothes. Beige jeans, funky little shoes, nice sweater and a matching canvas coat. Looks good!
On my way to work, I decided the van looked pretty dirty from all the melting snow so I pulled into the car wash and waited for the fellow ahead of me to finish washing his jeep. I watched him put the water jet thingy on top of the things that you usually clip your floor mats to wash them. No problem! In a few seconds I was in the bay and ready to wash the van.
I jumped out of the van, went to the back hatch and promptly whacked my knee on the towing hitch. (Insert vulgar swearing here!) I hobbled to the machine, inserted a loonie and the water jet thingy was caught on the clip for the floor mats and was caught in the "ON" position
Son of-a bitch! (Insert more vulgar swearing here!) My hair, my beige jeans, my canvas coat, my funky shoes, and my nice sweater, absolutely soaking wet!
I really would like to have seen the look on my face, it would have been priceless. Needless to say, I went home and changed. Now I have a cold and a limp! Go ahead, laugh!

some days lydia you just can't win for loosing. how are you other wise? i am late getting on the computer. we heard this noise this morming and there was a parakeet or cockatoo , i'm not sure which. hanging on the brick outside. my wife captured it and put it in a cage we had. i finally hung the cage outside off of my truck so it could get some air. it seems o.k. out there. we have to try and find the owners now. i may put a sign near the mailbox. have a good day and i will talk with you soon. i have added you to my favorite blog list.
Tee,hee..Well at least you got your van washed. And limping is apparently attractive in some cultures..
Tee hee hee... well, you did say "go ahead and laugh!"
I hope you're ok.
**snicker**
Sorry.
hello all.
i just thought i would start a letter to all the people i have on my favorites list to stop by my blog and take a look. it seems for some reason i am not getting any replies lately at my site. i try to post each day . i know that a couple of weeks ago blogger had a lot of problems and it might have scared some people off. so i am extending this invitation in hopes that we can get back together again. i wish every one a good day and a better year. if you are not sure of my url then here it is, http://mrhaney1.blogspot.com/ .
I wonder if the jeep driver had set it up and was hiding around the corner with a crooked smile on his face. Funny story, sorry but it was.
Hiya, visiting here for the first time, so I will behave myself. It can happen to anyone. Honestly
