A true blog can not be pretty all of the time, and I hate to break it to you but this blog is striving for the true picture of my life. I am crabby, yes, I too have moments where the world looks gray and bleak and everything seeping out of my mouth is tainted with the negative ooze. This is one of those times.
It was a gorgeous day, not a desirable day to be having a crabby moment, but I was, so this made me crabbier. I know you don't really care to know why I was irritable but I am telling you. It goes something like this:
I stayed up too late, woke late and found some saggy face skin. My hair roots are showing 2 inches of regrowth in mousy brown shades and I don't have extra money for the highlights. I think I have worn this shirt 100 times on this trip and my jeans now sport a hole by the pocket that one could possibly see the shade of my undergarment through, and there is also some clothing lacking in this department, but I will spare you.
I drove into Austin while getting honked at, to find paint at a store to save money on shipping, only to discover they had 3 of the 10 paint colors I needed. The second store had the paint for twice as much. The guy at the store would not stop talking about how to mix the white and the black to make the gray. I couldn't listen to him. I drove in rush hour for this experience.
I hit my leg on the license plate of the van as I got out, told everyone in the RV to stop singing because some people need their ears to be quiet, and then couldn't blog on my computer because the screen is green and stripes and fizzles. I have to type on this clunky thing which gets coated in cracker crumbs and stickiness as it is used by the kids, oh and now the screen just fell over....backwards, another screen to be on the "fix it" list...super.
I am choosing to no longer converse...you understand why, don't you?

absolutely! take care...this too will pass.
All this happened yesterday? Yikes. You need a hug. (((squeeze)))
Even with the crabby day, you still look fabulous! It's like 10 degrees wind chill in Brainerd today...if that helps at all! Don't sweat the small stuff and let God lead you to better days ahead.
I was wondering how your day was yesterday! Now I know! I don't want you having bad memories of Austin! But it's so true. Many stores here don't carry a lot of stuff. I'm now ordering most things online. I don't like driving in traffic and then finding out they don't have what I need. Paying for the shipping is sometimes cheaper than the gas to drive all the way over to those specialty stores.
I hope your days get better!
nwlambear, thanks for that affirming absolutely! Just needed to let that crabbiness free.
Mary, yah... I can feel the squeezin'. The best part of the day was our "coffee talk".
Julie, thanks girl. I had to laugh at your description of the weather, that could bring on some irritability!
Mariza, I should have talked with you about my "plan". Austin is a beautiful, creative city...no bad memories! I have a very wonderful memory of meeting my new friend!
I'm with Julie, Jennifer. You look great even on your "off" day. We all have them! Hang in there. I know it's so cliche but you know my sentiments are real.
