You know how some days are just a comedy of errors?
And then you wonder why we call them a comedy when none of it’s funny?
Me, too. Today was one of those days.
My body wasn’t exactly feeling peppy. So I gave myself a pep talk [get it? peppy? pep talk? Ok, maybe just I thought that was funny...] and got out of bed – determined to make a pretty canvas just for you.
And then I couldn’t get the jars of paint open.
[Correction: It went something more like, “These $%^%^&*#* jars of paint won’t open!!!” I have a mouth on me. It’s true. And I’ve decided I’m ok with it. It’s just one more trait I got from my dad. :)]
Eventually Linda came to deliver groceries and she opened the jars for me.
[Yay, Linda!]
Then another sweet friend came over who didn’t realize I was allergic to wool, and I had a bad reaction.
[Boo, wool!]
And the rest of tonight has been spent not painting a canvas.
[Boo, me!]
But then Riley came to the rescue.
[Yay, Riley!]
See, today is Riley the Blog Dog’s birthday. Yep. Big Kahuna is officially 7 years old. Which makes him 49 in dog years [I got out a calculator to make sure. I am just that bad at math]. And in all of his 49 years of wisdom, he came up with a solution.
For his birthday, he is going to give a canvas away to one of today’s commenters. And here’s the twist:
You get to tell me what quote YOU want on YOUR canvas!
That’s right... just leave me a comment telling me what you would like your personalized canvas to say. Then random.org will select one of you and I’ll make the canvas for you this weekend.
It’s a win-win! And I get to stick my tongue out at the comedy-of-errors-day that thought it was preventing me from doing a giveaway.
That’ll show a Wednesday not to mess with me. :)
