Worst Weekend Ever

So, I was snowbound for almost three days, my husband lost his job, the computer broke (making finding a new one a wee bit difficult) and my car door broke. I may or may not have also stood up my dentist.

So, since I am incapable of thought, can't post at home until my computer gets fixed and forgot to bring pictures for crochet posts, I have a meme!

(Thank you Ann and Everett!)

I'm so sorry! I will pray for you guys.

Congratulations on staying married. That is actually a good one for "accomplishments." It's hard to do, even when husbands are good men like ours.

I'm soo sooo sorry! Consider yourselves on my prayer list, as well. I mean, you already were for general health/wellbeing/yada yada, but I'll add "job hunting" and "computer issues" as well.
