(cue music) If it weren't for BAD LUCK I'd have no luck at all...

I have not abandoned my blog.

Here's the "rest of " that story as Paul Harvey would say...

Two weeks ago

I spent Friday morning preparing the guest room

for my stepson and daughter-in-law.

Down to removing, washing, drying, and stuffing

two twin long mattresses

into their dust mite covers

all-my-byself as my baby brother used to say.

Then

since my friend Theresa couldn't go shopping on Sat.

we headed to town

and spent all afternoon/early evening shopping.

Darling Hubby

had a sandwich supper ready for me...

but

he should have had a double rum drink fixed too

before he told that

the cat

the BAD CAT in fact

had thrown up

all over my open laptop.

It was dead.

My computer guru

got the info off

but the 1- 1 1/2 year old laptop

will have to be replaced.

Then last week-end

DH and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary

at the zoo in Asheboro, NC.

He couldn't get reservations at the Hampton Inn

so he made reservations at

the VALUE INN.

The parking lot

would have been softer to sleep on!

Two paper-thin towels and one washcloth,

toilet paper roll roller missing

so the tp was stuck on the prong for the roller

and the bathroom light had a bare bulb sticking out

which building inspector DH said don't touch no matter what!

Oh--

and the water in the shower

was a beautiful terracotta color for at least 10 minutes!

But we laughed!

The zoo was AWESOME

and I only took 1,200 pictures.

So this week

was spent catching up from "vacation"

and last night we went for a ride on our tandem bike.

Hubby is in front, I am in the back.

I cannot see around him.

One minute we were pedaling down the road

and the next minute we were toppling toward the pavement.

THANK GOD

we had helmets on

as both of us hit our heads pretty hard.

I saw DH head hit and was sure he had broken his neck when I saw it

snap back.

He had more abrasions than I did

but I have plenty of body aches on my entire left side.

So much so

today is a do nothing more than I have to day.

He's sharing his laptop

and I hate the keyboard---

there are spaces inbetween the keys

and my little short fingers don't reach

and the cursor has a mind of it's own

and jumps all over the place.

So...

not posting much until I can replace mine.

And I can recover.

Oh

and I am STILL WAITING

for Provocraft/Cricut to get me a replacement machine

that actually works.

This will only be # 4.

I think I may need to see my attorney friend

to get this straightened out

as I don't seem to be getting anywhere.

Until next time,

happy stamping and scrapping.

Blessings,
