I had a Monday

I woke up this morning and got ready for work.

Little did I know I would have one of those "Mondays."

The puppies had diarrhea all over the deck (again).

The girls needed help getting dressed (again).

I was running late and in my rush I cut through my bagel (comfort food) and straight into 2 fingers!

Joe patched me up and off I went.

In my rush I forgot my phone (eeegads, a whole day without my phone).

No phone, but I did have my little camera.

I could see all 3 mountains on my way to work (Raineer, Adams, Hood)

I took this cool picture using the panoramic setting.

This is how it turned out...

I was certain I could fix it in Photoshop.

But no...it was not to be... 

Pioneer Woman says you need to have 2 exposures, one for the light and one for the dark to fix it...*sigh*.

After not helping the teacher in Umatilla (he was too busy) but helping another teacher I headed North to shop for X-Mas stuff...without my cell phone!

I was in line at Jo-Ann Fabric (to get supplies for my surprise X-Mas gift)

I needed Ronda...I couldn't call my lifeline.

I headed to Bed Bath and Beyond and my blood pressure started to rise.

Next Best Buy...uh oh, things are starting to blur over.

The Mall!  Doesn't anybody work?  

Why are all these people in the mall on a Monday?

I sat in the parking lot of Costco and watched all the people filing in and out.

I sat there for awhile.

I couldn't do it.  I put it in drive and got out of dodge.

With a full blown panic attack avoided, I headed for gas then home.

If a ballot measure would ever come up to let us pump our own gas in Oregon I would vote for it.

I think it is a handicap to have people pump your gas for so long that you forget how!

I'm from Montana for crying out loud. I know how to pump gas...well I use to.

Enough brain cells were destroyed in Best Buy and BBB that it was a huge ordeal to get the flap on the tank open and get the gas pumped into the little gray car.

I made it home.

There was no poop on the deck (Joe moved them downstairs).

I only have to return 3 things (some other day).

As I sit here writing I am ticking off the things in my head that need to be done still...

violin...

bath...

spelling words...

no exercise...

work on x-mas letter...

The good news is I wont "waste" any time on fixing that picture.

Happy Monday, everyone.   Here's to a better Tuesday!
