Apparently I am disaster-prone Daphne. No, I didn't have to take any poorly written Facebook quiz to find this out. I just took a look at the past week in my life and came to the conclusion that I should go back to bed and call a do-over or failing that, invest heavily in bubble-wrap. Sank a boat? Check. Left expensive dance shoes several states away and completely inaccessible? Check. Dumped an entirely full can of diet Coke all over books not included in boating disaster? Check. (Because just wet books aren't enough, they should be sticky and stained brown too.) Hide your children when I'm near. Get off the road while I am driving. Who knows what my next disaster will be?! At least I seem to only be affecting myself and my own things at the moment (leaving aside the fact that it wasn't my boat).

Disaster-prone Daphne
Apparently I am disaster-prone Daphne. No, I didn't have to take any poorly written Facebook quiz to find this out. I just took a look at the past week in my life and came to the conclusion that I should go back to bed and call a do-over or failing that, invest heavily in bubble-wrap. Sank a boat? Check. Left expensive dance shoes several states away and completely inaccessible? Check. Dumped an entirely full can of diet Coke all over books not included in boating disaster? Check. (Because just wet books aren't enough, they should be sticky and stained brown too.) Hide your children when I'm near. Get off the road while I am driving. Who knows what my next disaster will be?!

I have had to disable the anonymous comment option to cut down on the spam and I apologize to those of you for whom this makes commenting a chore. I hope you'll still opt to leave me your thoughts. I love to hear what you think, especially so I know I'm not just whistling into the wind here at my computer.
