Boxes and Bad Luck

It was really weird that yesterday we got three boxes in the mail. All of our orders came in at the same time. Our coffee pot from Gevalia quit working, so they shipped me another one for free. My order from VS came in, and Jonathan's Indiana Jones Video Game came as well. We had a blast playing it last night.

I'm really tired today, though. I never sleep well when Richard isn't here, so last night was not fun. We also had a lot of storms come through with lots of lightening here. So, of course, I had two munchkins in my bed with me. The electricity was off for a long time this morning while I was trying to get ready, so that slowed me down since none of my hair appliances would work. Then on my way to work, I ran into a lot of traffic. The bridges over the lake were shut down because of a wreck, and there were tons of emergency vehicles around. So, I went the long way. It took me an hour to go less than 30 miles - UGH! Anyway, I finally made my workshop where I got to hear a bunch of speakers talk all day - again, UGH!

Richard and I have been doing South Beach again, so today when I went with my teachers to Johnny Carino's, I got salad and vegetable soup - double UGH! The warm, crunchy bread was calling my name, but I told it to shut up. :-)

Tonight, the kids and I went Father's Day shopping on the way home, and we also checked Dad's garden (where we found a ripe tomato the size of a baseball and three cherry tomatoes), all of which made us miss Richard more. But, at least we have time to do our FDay stuff with him not here. I can't wait for tomorrow afternoon when my workshop is OVER and my summer continues!
