Blogger: love/hate relationship!

Have patience with all things, 

but first of all with yourself. 

St. Francis de Sales

(Thanks to Marissa for this quote!)

I had a post to share with you all today,

I just finished it,

 complete…

save for inserting pictures.

And then

Blogger destroyed it

It disappeared right before my eyes.

Two hours of baring my soul,

disposed of carelessly in an instant.

Funny thing is that the post was about anger.

Between just anger and misguided anger.

And here I am angry,

and justified.

So now you'll just be getting a

fashion post

  

And I'll be going to regroup.

And praying I can eloquently re-write the post.

And share what I really wanted to.

So glad I had this picture handy to make me laugh at this whole debacle.
My husband is hilarious, no?
