And how was your Monday?
Here's a sample of mine and yes, I'm long winded 
Spent all weekend feeling a bit fuzzy from the endocsopy but I didn't let it stop me. Life is good and I was on the run. Didn't have to do much without feeling wiped out but I kept plugging on.
This morning (and it's not even 10 am yet) has been one heck of an experience. I had a 7:15 appointment for my echocardiogram. No biggie right?
I wake up late, at 6:45, the time I'm supposed to be leaving for my appointment. So I rush and run outside in 6 degree weather. Start the jeep, scrape the ice and head off. About half a mile from the cardiologist the jeep overheats. I had to deal with it and get it off to the side of the road. I don't think the police would have been happy if I had left it at the traffic light it stalled at. The school crossing guards stopped traffic for me so I could let it coast down the hill to a better place to leave it.
I jump out of the jeep and start to walk to my appt. As I am walking I'm calling my mechanic. I think it is at this intersection I say on their voicemail. I'll call you back when I know for sure. By the time I get to my appt it is 7:40, my nose is numb, my forehead is numb, the front of my thighs are numb and I'm thankful I put on my boots this morning. I walk in there and ask about the intersection and they say yes, it is the one you thought it was. GREAT! So I call back, leave another message and say yup, it's there!
I get back in the room and this other girl says, no hun, that's not right it's this intersection. So now I'm half naked on the table, she is trying to work on me, I have the phone to my ear calling directory assistance. They put me through to my mechanic who answered and I said no no, it's at this intersection! He said ok!
Finally we are done with the test and the tech tells me I can get dressed and leave... then she hesitated at the door and said... but you probably want to dress quickly, the fire alarms are going off.
YIPES! I rush into my clothes and fly out the door. As I"m standing outside with everyone I come to the realization that my infinite wisdom failed me this morning. While rushing out the door for the appointment I thought, all I need is my lic and my insurance card. So no purse, no money, nothing. I can't call a cab, I can't take a bus. I'm just stuck!
So I start making calls. Everyone I know works so this isnt' good. Finally found a friend that was willing and able to leave work and come rescue me.
Then my mechanic calls asking where the jeep is. And I think... didn't I just talk to him and tell him? My friend picks me up and as we turn in my drive my phone rings. It's my mechanic! He said we are there to pick it up but it's already on a truck for a different mechanic! I said, impossible, I just drove by there 5 mins ago and it was still there! So he gave me the phone number of the mechanic who now had my car. Seems directory assistance put me through to the wrong mechanic and being busy getting the echocardiogram I just talked to whoever answered assuming it was them!
I am home and have just had a call from the mechanic that has my car. He was willing to release it to my mechanic. I said no, you've gone through the trouble, you keep the job.
Life should always be a good story!! Keep smiling!
And how is your Monday??

And how is your Monday?? 
Sweetie I 'm so sorry about your monday, but I have to admit I love reading your posts even in the worst you make it funny.
I am laughing with you 
Afraid to ask.....your laughing too right??
Better and brighter days to come.......right???
Christina Oh yes ma'am. Besides, another clearance out of the way! wohooo.
The wrong mechanic fixed the right jeep so that is great. I pick it up in the morning.
After I told my son what happened this morning he said exactly the same thing I did... Life should always be a story. We are two peas in a pod.
*hugs*
I hope your holiday season is going great!

Gigi,
Wow and I thought my Mondays were too much! Today was uneventful for me....now that is weird. Something must be wrong in the world. I never make it through a Monday without something happening. Last Monday was crazy proposal week. How many times can your boss change the words of, the and it in a ten page paper? Mine can do it 2 thousand times believe or not! I think I like the boring days! Especially after a weekend of shopping.
