It's been an interesting week.It's actually been a difficult week for my family, but rather than write about that, I thought I would write about the little things. Those things that, for whatever reason, stood out as odd, funny or drove my husband crazy.Wouldn't that be a great category on Jeopardy? I'll take "Things that drove my husband crazy for $200 please." Starting with...The bag of drycleaning that has been riding around with me in my car this week. It was overflowing in my closet, till Greg bagged it up and threw it in my car. I see it every day, and mean well, but forget to swing by the cleaners. I may just buckle it in, like a passenger that's going to lunch.If you had walked in the break room at work Wednesday, you would have thought I'd lost my mind. I put $.75 in the vending machine, and watched my bag of M&M's get stuck in the metal swivel that pushes it out. I'm sure our receptionist could hear me shaking the machine with all my might, and saying "C'mon!" You would have seen me peering into the glass, staring longingly at the treasured bag of chocolates like a kid staring at puppies in a pet store, until the M&M's eventually tumbled out in slow-motion.I poured myself a third cup of coffee to stay awake during the early part of our show yesterday, and mixed the cream and sugar with a stir. It's no different than any other standard-sized coffee stir, and I always leave it in the cup so I can occasionally stir up any sugar that settles to the bottom. And as I took a drink, the stir poked me in the eye.And how was your week?

Yea ... but you get to work with Jim & Kevin. That turns any "bad week" into a "good week".
You are one lucky girl!
