Mood Killer

GOSH DARNIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was all happy tonight and getting ready to post my grateful meme inspired by Apron Thrift Girl when I had one ?&%!!*&% of an accident in the kitchen. We have a big watermelon that's been sitting on the table for the last few weeks. I walked by and pushed a chair in at the table and it must have hit the watermelon cause it rolled off the table, knocking down one of the chairs and landing on top of it. It snapped one of the arms of the chair in half, the chair made a big dent in the hutch behind the table and the finish on the chair left a nice several inches long brown mark on the hutch when the chair fell against it. I am so bugged!!!! Hubby said that chair is beyond repair and we should just throw it away but I told him we should just try to fix it. We normally have chair covers on the chairs anyway so even if it looks weird you won't be able to see it. I hate when stupid accidents like happen. Then, when I was cooking dinner I dropped my favorite spoon behind the stove so I won't see that spoon again for years.

But, I did receive a nice phone call before dinner- an old friend that I haven't seen in years called to ask if she could stop by so I could help her make an anniversary card for her parents 54th wedding anniversary. So it was nice to visit with her for a few minutes.

I'm about to chuck that darn watermelon out the window....though that would cause even more damage than it has already.

EDIT: The gosh darn watermelon did not have a single scratch on it after this debacle....I think that's what pissed me off the most!

oh no! At least the watermelon didn't then fall to the floor and splatter into a big red and green mush oozing into every crack and crevice...but then that might give you a reason to pull the stove out and retreive the spoon ;)

OH NO! I was sayin to myself as I read each word......
You poor thing. I too would be sooo cranky. I see what you mean about throwing the watermelon but I would have had to throw it on the road or at the fence.
Something, anything.
Hope all can be fixed.
Fingers Crossed.

ARGH! How frustrating! I thought that story was going to end in lots of disaster PLUS sticky watermelon everywhere....blech!

I hate it when things like that happen! (for instance when knocking an ENTIRELY full crock pot of hot soup onto the floor - no...that' didn't splatter at all!)

Oh that's not good at all! Darn watermelon..Aren't stupid accidents the worse! Hope you get things fixed..and I'd treat yourself to a new favourite spoon! At least the watermelon didn't fall on your toes..the story could have been a lot worse.

Sounds like Mousetrap that come to life! How awful Raesha. Not just the damages... but oh the sticky mess.

I think we should start a Spoon-Aid for you...

We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who CAN make a brighter day FOR RAESHA
So let's start giving HER A NEW SPOON...

I don't mean to say it was funny to you but, just picturing that whole sequence of events in my mind felt like witnessing a cartoon or one of those Rube Goldberg set-ups. Sorry about the hutch and chair.

Who would have thought an innocent watermelon could be guilty of such a horrible crime. It reminds me of something from an old Groucho Marx movie. Blessing to your poor chair.

I'm trying not to laugh because if it were me I'd be crying but now at least you can tell the store of "The Great Watermelon Debacle of 2007!"

But seriously, what a pain in the rooty . . .
