Sorry your day was so lame! If you lived in Orange County, I would've been there asap!
ah!! so sorry. Sounds like one of those days where by the end, I'd just keeping thinking, oh right. of course the car won't start again. And the door? why should I expect it to close? such bad luck you almost have to laugh.
whoa. didn't know about the 11:30 part. man girl. what a day!
Maggie, I read your blog occasionally, since I try to keep up with my family...even if they don't know me!!! I am still loving this one! Brought back great memories growing up in Rexburg! You are SOOOO clever and funny! Wish I knew you in person :) Julie (your cousin) You will probably have to do a little detective work on that one!
Oh, Maggie, what trauma! You poor thing! I'm glad you have a brother around to help you. I love the picture of the icicles. Glad you're seeing the beauty of winter in February. May summer come soon!
