Playing the Glad Game

No Pollyanna am I, but I really should try to look on the bright side more. Here’s goes.

  • The snowblower ate my favorite scarf. The scarf gave as good as it got, ripping the axle right off the snowblower. On the bright side, I was not wearing the scarf at the time of the incident. My husband eventually managed to get the snowblower working again, and my mom said she’d make a new scarf for me.
  • After many hours of searching for a new comforter, I finally found one that I liked. I ordered it plus some matching drapes. The plan was to paint the bedroom in colors to match. The drapes arrived almost immediately, but the comforter set was back-ordered, so we waited patiently. For almost two months! The promised ship date came and went, I called the store, they said it would ship the next day. Two days later, I got an e-mail stating that they had canceled the order. I was angry, disappointed, frustrated. On the bright side, I hadn’t seen the comforter in person, so I couldn’t be sure of the color. The blue in the drapes had a disturbing hint of teal. I hate teal. So I’m going to assume Universe just wanted to save me from a teal bedroom. The store took the drapes back without a problem.
  • The Monday holiday did me no favors. It was a long week. I spent over 12 hours working on Wednesday so that I could meet my Thursday deadline.  On the bright side, my magazine is done and the next few weeks of work will be easy and fun.

    I’m sorry about your scarf. It really sucks to lose favorite accessories, particularly to such a violent demise!

    So what have you decided to do about the comforter/drape/wall issue? Do you have a backup plan?

    It really was terrible the way that scarf went. I still find the occasional tuft of it on the driveway.

    No backup plan for the comforter. We’ll just have to wait until I find something else that I like, which I’m sure will happen within the next year or two. Three tops 😉
