What a Week!

Since checking in with you all last week, luck has not been on my side...

-On Thursday, the trackball on my cell decided it didn't want to go up. Or to the side.
-I spent an hour on the phone with Verizon (and then Asurion-the insurance carrier) to convince them that it really was a warranty issue.
-Got my new phone only to find that the back-up software took 2 hours to load on my computer before I could actually transfer anything to my new phone.
-The paint sprayer I bought to paint the crib only came with one nozzle... and didn't suggest other nozzles except in the manual.
-I live an hour and a half from Home Depot (where I bought the sprayer) and 2 hours from Lowes.
-The nozzle that came with the sprayer used way too much paint and gave the crib a funky texture.
-I had to sand the crib AFTER painting it.
-J had to help me repaint the crib by hand... while he griped the entire time. Leading to...
-We got in a tiff on our anniversary. Note to self (and others)-- don't do home projects on your anniversary. You'll be asking for it.
-A diamond fell out of my wedding ring... to never be found again.
-There is only one jeweler in town now, and they have to send the ring off for a month + to fix it. I might just wait until we go to Denver to have it fixed.
-The sale of my road bike fell through. Bummer.
-When we had our chimney cleaned, the fireplace pipes had to be taken apart to clean them.
-The guy who serviced it got creosote all over our carpet, rug, tv, couch, walls... basically everything... and then didn't even mention it. We had to find out when we got home to see the mess. When we called in the morning to complain, he didn't even offer a discount or an apology.
-We now have to have the carpet steam-cleaned... which we weren't planning to do. And, I had to clean the entire living/dining areas before I could do anything that night.
-Several people invited to my baby shower have already mentioned they can't make it... and the invites haven't even been mailed yet! (They just arrived yesterday, apparently.)

BUT... I have high hopes that my luck is starting to turn. Fingers/toes/arms/legs crossed!!

I won't check back in until next week, as I have a jam-packed weekend ahead of me coordinating the wedding of a great couple, Mike & Laura. Until then, have a fabulous weekend!
