Everything I touch turns to dust so to speak!
I picked up my trifle bowl and a piece of the side fell off.
I tried to use my EAD and the thumb piece snapped off.
And I spilled coffee all over my current catalogs so now I have 5 left! I am going to have to buy some off my director!
I am afraid to touch anything else or I am not going to have anything left to do shows with!
 
Wow!! What a run of luck you are having!! Bad luck as the case may be, but often times that is the ONLY luck I have!!

I hope everything gets better for you!!
 
Oh Leslie....I amwriting this to let you know that you are not alone. My DH left 2 weeks ago for the ME. My iPhone wouldn't call, P3 wouldn't load, my printer wouldn't print, my destop monitor started going wonky AND I have been busy trying to work shows while being the Brownie troop Cookie Mom and Leader AND doing Candy booths with my son, the Boy Scout. Basically everything that could go wrong...did. The good news is I have nowhere to go but up from here!!

Now I am sure that none of that made you feel any better but isn't nice to know that the universe likes to share misery? LOL!!
 
You poor thing. Take a nap. It will make you feel better. :)
 
Bless your heart...as we say in the South! There are two meanings to that I have learned. One is the way I mean it...sorry it has happened and bless your heart for things to get better. I was also told it can mean "that person is dumb asa rock & I feel sorry for them. I have never meant that in the latter form...so no one will think I do!
 
Mayby your luck will change tomorrow and everything you touch will turn to GOLD! Feel free to pass some of it on to me when it does :D

One of my favorite ways to express this is, "isn't that special?"

How did THAT happen? Was everything still under warranty? At least you can get them replaced.

Hugs to you, and prayers that tomorrow is a blessed day.
 
I hope your day has gotten better.
