I had a bad day today. The kind of day that makes you want to win the lottery so you can tell your boss to take this job and...well you know.
I fought traffic on the way home and decided to take a thrift break, for my own mental health.

Cosmic joke or a sign that I need to look on the brighter side of life?

I had a true love who loved unicorns & collected all sorts of unicorn stuff. If I can remember her name, I'll forward this.
Sweet Blunderbuss, you are making my day better.
I'm so sorry that you've had a nasty day! Looking forward to a brighter day for you today. : )
I am glad someone designed these plates so you could smile after such a bad day. ¡Un abrazo fuerte!
It's a new dawn friends and we are having a beautiful sunrise. Hopefully this day will go better...but I am still spitting mad. Maybe after yoga tonight...

I hope your day was brighter after the "Thrift Break" as you called it. Too funny, I have those too! As far as the Kosta Boda snowballs...ABSOLUTELY, I think I had your Email at one time but I do not anymore. Computer deletes things if not used in certain time frame to conserve on memory...I dont get it personally. But if you would like to contact me with it again I would like to here your proposal. Please delete this as I would not like everyone to have this address. Thanks Amberose, Jerrod666@gmail.com. Anytime is fine.
JayHow My email is on my profile. Sending out packages to half of CW next week so it's easy to add one more. Okay, might be after the Thanksgiving...lazy you know.
