May 12th was a day of challenges. I didn't know this when I had to wake up at o'dark thirty to get to the dentist. This is actually just a smattering of the day's events, but you'll get the idea...
More info on 12 of 12: Chad Darnell's site has all the info.
(I would've posted this yesterday (ON the 12th), but Blogger was down for maintenance at the exact moment I was finishing the posts.)

These are the implements necessary to prepare for a dentist appointment.
The question is, why the hell did I make it for 8:00a.m.???

The remnants of my breakfast....
Oh, and if your order a Grand Slamwich at Denny's, make sure you say "not Super," or you'll get a huge sandwich that costs $2 more. Upselling at its most insidious....

This is my espresso machine. Today it told me it needed more water. So I filled the plastic container seen here to the left with more water. As I went to put it back on the espresso machine, it slipped out of my hand and spilled at least a quart of water all over my kitchen counter, under appliances, on top of a cookbook, flooding a bag of English muffins.
Oh it was a swell moment.
This picture is AFTER the disaster, as I was finally making my coffee.....

After the rough day I was having, I wandered outside to take a breather. This little palm tree just makes me smile -- I love it! It is nestled next to its "big brother," a tall palm that towers over my house, and a rather spindly rose bush (which produces beautiful big blooms).

Because I like that little palm tree so much, I had the gardener add a few more to the front garden. Here's one of the new trees, next to a gorgeous rose bush.

Somebody will tell me what these flowers are, I'm sure. I just know that they are perfectly formed, and in MY front yard! Wow!

God forbid I actually sit down and *practice* the drums, no, I just take a picture of the kit mocking me.....

After weeks of waiting to have my new chair delivered, it finally arrived today. The shipping company gave me a window of between 1-5, then showed up at 6:00.
However, how happy was I when I discovered that the chair almost *exactly* matched my love seat! (A happy coincidence, since the chair was purchased online.)
It took me forever to remove the packing material and cardboard (that's what you see in the picture). Finally, I decided that, if I tipped the chair, I could pull the packing material off of it. And that's when I discovered.....

This is the damage done to my new chair. The leg has been snapped off, and the wood on the bottom is completely destroyed. Trying not to curse out the universe....
