Idioms
Idiom for this week, a bump in the road. Okay, so a little behind the scenes update my friends. This week has had a few bumps in the road.
First bump- You know how you’re just skipping along singing a happy song and then you trip and land on your ( insert what you land on here). Well, I fell, I fell hard, There was no skipping along, there was just sitting and toppling over. Instead of getting up to get something I stayed in the chair and reached, my “go-go gadget arms” ( childen’s cartoon) didn’t work and over I went, bringing everything down on top of me. Good grief…
After a brief, ” did that really just happen moment”, I got up and sorted myself out and put a few things back where they belong.
Second bump- a sponsor pulled out at the last minute…it happens, but it’s just another “bump in the road”, I scrambled and now, we are ” good to go.”
The annual Season of Giveaways starts on Saturday, BIG Yea! I’m so excited for you to see the prizes this year.
The Third Bump- I sat down comfortably with a cup of tea ready to write my blog post ( for yesterday) and everything went black. My computer monitor died! I have a cable on order so I can access my pc ( where I have all of my photos etc.) through our laptop. Not sure what the issue is, it may be the video card. I’m crossing my fingers I’ll be up and running again very soon.
So here I am, “better late than never”. Sharing a little behind the scenes chaos and this week’s idioms.
I’m excited to see what you will share at the TFT party tomorrow. Invite your bloggy friends to join us. It’s fun!
Fwew! Glad you’re okay! Hopefully, a little R&R can help; but from reading on, seems like you’re not getting any of that. Maybe w/the computer going down, Someone was trying to tell you the same thing
Bumps in the roads are always expected. Two great quilt block patterns, “Road to Oklahoma” or ” London Road” have plenty of bumps for those quilters who ply their needles as they create works of art with fabric. SEW many bumps!
How frustrating and inscrutable these electronic devices can be! Especially to those of us who didn’t grow up with them! Hope your bumps all get smoothed out pronto! Here’s a little example of the mysteries of the internet/computer world. One day I tried to access one of my favorite blogs and the computer just wouldn’t not let me. I was so upset and hadn’t a clue–still haven’t–as to why this was happening. My computer is ancient so I chalked it up to aged equipment. But I was still so disappointed. This went on for a month or more. Then one day a week or so ago I tried to access the blog again and no problem–there it was! I was thrilled but I”m also perplexed and confounded. And wary that it will be inaccessible again. So go figure—it’s all magic and mystery to me!
Good luck Katherine with all your electronic conundrums and confounding bumps in the road!
Aw, glad you are OK and that you are in the process of having the computer issues sorted out. Hugs and here is to a better end this week now xoxo <3
Glad you’re not hurt and sorry about the computer. As you said, just bumps you can get over.
Hello my sweet friend – I’m still reeling from a few bumps in the road in my neighborhood, too, so I completely understand. Hoping soon to be back in business and will do my best to promote all of the giveaways coming up this holiday season. Love you! Hugs, Nina xoxoxo
