Thank You All

I promised Marly that I wouldn't blog about my recent drama...I really seem to attract drama like a magnet...but  I have mucho kindnesses that beg to be acknowledged.  Emily Post would, I know, frown on Blogger "thank you notes," but I am out of stamps, so here goes:  

John~Thank you for correctly diagnosing my car problem in spite of my "typical girl" hysteria...I don't know...it's making a bump, bump, bump noise...here...you listen (as I hold up my cell phone) and for coming to rescue me at 10:30 at night in 16 degree weather and then to go out in 17 degree weather today on your LUNCH hour and try to get it to the tire place.

Julie~Thank you for watching my children...taking all of my calls today while you were trying to work...bringing me flowers and chocolate...picking up my son at baseball practice...and going with me to Wal Mart to get a monstrous crate for a dog that I want to give away!  And for marrying a car guy...that was very considerate of you  :o)

Sue~Thanks for being willing to let me drive your car...I'm just chicken about a stick in this weather since it's been awhile since I've driven one.

Carol~Thanks for loading up sick children and driving out of your way to pick up M's dance stuff and take it out to the school for me.

Jamie~Thanks for dropping everything and coming over "right now" to give me a ride to the tire place before it closed.  The quick chat we were able to have on the way was a nice bonus, as well!

Miss Mara~Thanks for picking M up at school, taking her to class, and bringing her HOME so she wouldn't have to miss.

Stephanie~Thanks for being willing to work 5 HOURS this evening to help cover my shift at the studio.

And last but not least...

Brian~Thanks for not sighing too much on the phone when I mentioned cost :o)  And for only telling me once how much it would cost if I had ruined the wheel rim by driving on it.  And for telling me that it was fine to hire someone to tow the car so that I could have it back sooner.

I have the best friends in the ENTIRE WORLD!!!  You guys are amazing!!

Wow - talk about a town coming together! That was much less a tragedy than a feel-good story celebrating friends. And, following the suggestion, I will now take a few moments to appreciate the good friends I have as well. ;)
