It’s Friday, thank goodness. It’s been one of those weeks. We started it off with a raging hail storm.
My poor Jeep was completely smashed up. I know it’s just a car, but she was a good one (yes, she’s a lady). But thankfully, we had it looked at today and it sounds like we will be able to get it fixed for a reasonable amount. In the meantime, we’ve been down to sharing Josh’s pickup. (Those of you who know me, please try to contain your laughter as you picture me driving his monster of a vehicle.)
Along with the storm came a battle of the spring cold for me and Josh. Another one. I’m optimistic that this one won’t hang around for long though. Fingers crossed.
Alright, I’m gonna stop being such a Debbie Downer and start the weekend off right! It’s time for Friday Favorites. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend 🙂
We still managed to have fun though. Storms and colds can’t keep us down!
