it was one of those days . . . you know?
good: decided to make a poundcake - turned on oven - got phone call to set up a phone call. turned off oven. already sold a print from the shop update yesterday.
bad: position still not open (but, i did get an opportunity for two small jobs for some money - so kinda good). started making cake - didn't have enough eggs. had to go to the store. came home, finished the cake and put it in the oven. oven no longer heats up. time to go get nephew. as i'm leaving, other nephew called - he's locked out.
good: enjoyed the ride with oldest nephew and we laughed at the same jokes. came by the house and picked up cake batter and took it to my sister's oven to bake. youngest nephew pronounces it is 'da bomb.'
bad: summer in the south produces high number of fleas - as a result dogs and cats have fleas. must de-flea animals and house tomorrow. BOO
but that's life, right? ups and downs - good in the bad and sometimes bad in the good. i hope your day weighed in on the good majority.
this was all about real life....loved it !
ReplyDeletebut, oh no....not fleas !
You said it - that's life! Haha sounds like a perfectly unperfect day :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm liking this concise language you've been using of late. Everything is to the point immediately. But I'm a big fan of brevity, so what do I know?
ReplyDeleteAs for poundcake, it's always the bomb! As for jobs, I can't imagine you going without one for long. I think things often (as cliche as this might read) happen for a reason and I suspect you needed some time to say hello to Char. Char the artist and writer, that is. Something about "Financial Analyst" tells me this. Smart folks often spend too much time being smart for other folks, in my opinion. I haven't followed your blog forever, but for the short amount of time I have I've seen a woman with a photographer's eye and writer's soul going along with those photographs. And that's a good thing. Always.
In other words, keep up the good, the bad, the happy, and the sad.
Sounds like you had an equal number of goods and bads...and that's good!
ReplyDeleteSounds like some of my days. Just have to roll with it. No fleas but used to deal with it with four cats, dog and two ferrets! Egads!
ReplyDeleteIs it just me or does
ReplyDeletecake always seem to
make things better?
;o9
char fleas no ....i hate this and it is one of my least favorite things to do...why are they on this earth/
ReplyDeletenow cake is another story! you sound like a cool aunt for those boys!
It will be a job with the fleas, otherwise I hope you have a funfilled day my friend.
ReplyDeleteFleas are one of the things from Oregon I do NOT miss. It's nice not having to have flea collars anymore. Sorry you have to go through that. :(
ReplyDelete"I want it all" ... love it. Great post, girl.
ReplyDeleteJg.
It sounds pretty good to me! Selling a photo, small jobs...I seriously hope that for myself someday. And delicious cake!? What could be better! Life is good ;)
ReplyDeleteSorry about the fleas though...it's a year round problem I deal with...blech!
ReplyDeleteNo matter what happens you looked on the "good" side! I hope things continue to look up!
ReplyDeleteyes, up and down. the merry go round of life. ohh, bet that cake was good. : )
ReplyDeleteWell, about my day... Okay, grumpy husband taking a toll. Thank goodness he goes to work tomorrow. I can only tolerate someone grumpy being around about a day. I know, bad me. The good thing about doctors is they're gone a lot. The bad thing about doctors is they're gone a lot. Depends on which side you're on (and that depends on how long you've been married!) Sorry about the fleas. I hate, hate fleas. I don't have any grass in my side yard where my dogs go out cause it's my dream (I know it's a dream. But please don't piss on my parade today. Cause now I'm grumpy too.)... that fleas like grass better.
ReplyDeleteBrenda
sounds like quite a day - i'd say more good than bad though and atleast no sad. oh i do hope you can get rid of those fleas.
ReplyDeleteI love that sunflower picture :D :D :D
ReplyDeletePretty sunflower :)
ReplyDeleteI love this reminder that the good is always a little sweeter by comparison. And, that the bad is not usually so very bad after all.
ReplyDeleteHOW TRUE...I wish I had to time to share my good/bad list it has been a doozy this summer
ReplyDeleteThe life of ups and downs.....You are not alone! Did you get your oven fixed? Thank goodness for family!
