I am all happy and smilie, my day is going wonderful and I was getting so many errands done and all that happy stuff!!
Then I decided to get a car wash at FAST LANE and I even put money in the tip jar before my car rolls up! See the kind of mood I was in!!

spreading the happiness type of day!!

Well when my little 2005 Honda Civic rolls on by the window, what is the first thing I notice?

I stand there not believing my eyes and thinking the bright sunlight is doing odd tricks! Something is funny where my drivers mirror should be, thinking that they must fold them in or some such nonsence!

Now it is up ahead of me further, the guy turns and I get his attention still praying that is just looks funny from my angle of view!
I mouth and play hand signals "Where's my MIRROR?" He shrugs and then comes into the waiting area! Yeap...my drivers mirror is ripped clean off!!
Unfreaking believeable and I was have such a good day, now I have a headache, stomach ache and I have to wait for the manager to call me tonight!

So sorry Tracey - keep thinking happy thoughts about what you want the outcome to be and I'll think happy thoughts that you get your wish!

Oh no, Tracey. Did you ever find it? Did the monster in the wash get it?

LOL Lori they found it laying right where the little spinny thing ripped it off. I see now where it almost must of wacked against my back driver side car and scratched my paint also!

Thanks girls, trying to keep happy thoughts, but darn it is REALLY hard to change lanes without a mirror being there!

Oh, no! Are they going to pay to get it fixed? They really should! So sorry your day got messed up.

Oh no you mean there is the possibility that they wouldn't pay to fix it???

I was nice today, even after it happen but if they try to tell me they won't fix a standard mirror (factory installed) that their machines ripped off, I am not going to be so nice and they won't like me when I'm angry!

Haven't heard from the manager yet.

Oh yeah so my day was going on with the rest of my errands and such, remember my water heater that went out about 2 weeks ago? Well I just got upset at BF for not being nice enough to just remove it from my front deck after future son-in-law and I went through all the work of getting it up the stairs along with a old water softener unit and the salt bin with about 150 of old salt still in!
So now a while ago I come home....YEAH...my crap is off my front deck....Doing the happy happy dance! Walk up to the house and see the kids snowboards leaning against the house. DD had a light colored board and bindings that she just got for xmas ($275) Well darn, it's all dirty....They had been laying down by the side of the house along the sidewalk and BF friggin backed over it and didn't stop because he thought it was snow crunching! Deep Breathing going on here big time, dd is extremely upset and I don't honestly blame her one bit.
So call bf telling him about how great my day started out and then about the mirror, then happy that everything was removed from my deck, then asked him how the pickup ran over the snowboard that was less then 1 1/2 feet from the side of my house got ran over!!! Of course like a good man

he said yeah I didn't see it!!!! Hey GET the HECK out of the truck and look to where you are backing up since you are backing up towards a house, across the darn sidewalk and backing up to a DECK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know...right now I am just bout fit to be tied! Tomorrow I am NOT leaving the house, I am not going to move from my office, I am going to cut my phone lines and lock my front door! Sounds like a good plan right about now doesn't it? LOL

Oh wait...the good thing is that's Three things and bad things always happen in three's...so my turn is done right! Who's next?
