Bad Week Item #1: My flat iron died. It died!! This is my hair lifeline that I absolutely cannot live without. Fortunately, it is within its warranty so I can send it off to the manufacturer and they will send me a new one. I swear the company that makes my flat iron makes way too much money off of me, but hey, I can’t live without it. After becoming depressed that my flat iron was dead, I discovered that I still had an old one that could potentially keep me with straight hair until my new one arrived. I worked with it for a while until I could find a position for the cord when it would stay on (the main problem with these flat irons is that they get shorts and will only stay on if the cord is held in a certain position). I began using the flat iron on Tuesday morning and was almost finished straightening my hair when it exploded in my hand. Yeah, I am not kidding. Sparks flew! Sparks burned tiny holes in my shirt and I even had small burn marks on my chest from the exploding flat iron. You’ve got to be kidding me! I was so mad, especially since I didn’t get to finish straightening my hair. Into a ponytail it went and has stayed since my flat iron died. I am hoping to get my new one in this week, at least I hope so!
Bad Week Item #2: I RUINED my Ugg boots, my cherished Ugg boots. The Ugg boots that I have babied. The Ugg boots that have not been allowed outside unless there is no water or snow on the ground. I am telling you that I have never taken such good care of a pair of shoes in my life. That all ended on Friday. Friday afternoon, I microwaved myself a bowl of soup at work. Once it was finished heating up, I pressed the lid back on the bowl and grabbed both the lid and the bowl (which can get very hot) to get the soup out of the microwave. Well, this was not such a good idea because the bowl and lid separated and soup went everywhere. It went all over my shirt, all over my pants and all over my UGGS. To my horror, they were completely covered with soup. I was instantly devastated. All my coworkers that came in and saw how disgusting I was only noticed my shirt and pants, which I wasn’t too concerned with. Anyway, Chris came and picked me up early from work so that I wouldn’t have to smell like soup all day. Later in the evening, we went by Target and purchased woolite to see if we couldn’t clean them up. When doing it by hand proved no help, we headed for our last result, the washing machine. Honestly, they were so ruined by them that the thought of soaking them in the washing machine didn’t bother me. Turns out, we probably should have tried that to begin with. Unfortunately, the stains remained and the Uggs are no longer wearable. So very sad! Maybe I can muster up the strength to buy a new pair, but I doubt it.
Bad Week Item #3: I got a cold. This one is not nearly as exciting and eventful as the other two bad week items, but it was bad enough. I pretty much stayed on the couch all day Sunday trying to recover. I feel much better today, so I am happy to say that maybe this week is going to be better!
I hope everyone had a Happy Valentine’s Day and a much better Friday the 13th week than I did!
