Hell in a Hand Basket

Here I am and it is Friday....its a little warm in the office today...I hope eventually someone decides to turn on the air.The color here in the office seems to be orange. Everyone is wearing it, including myself. Nothing like NOT standing out in a crowd. I am going out tonight with my husband. We are going out to dinner...I am looking forward to it. I hope all goes well, I hate those days when everything starts off okay and you think its going to be a good day and then something happens and it all goes to hell in a hand basket. I am going to try and stay in my happy place.....I am going to remain centered and focused. We'll see how long it lasts.

My friend stopped to get gas this morning and a bizarre thing happened. She was standing there pumping her gas when a family ran past her and she could hear a man yelling "Everyone run! Get up on the curb!" She looked over and the gas nozzle had broken off in his car and gas was spraying all over the place. The man was frantically trying to get it to stop and was covered in gasoline. My friend left before she saw the conclusion to this scenario. But like I said before...I bet they were having a good day before it all went to hell in a hand basket. I also bet it was a stinky ride home in the gas soaked car....I hope no one in his family smokes.
