- My husband ran our car over a concrete slab (on accident, of course); this cost around $400.00 of unexpected out-of-pocket expenses.
- I got a speeding ticket, along with a ticket for not being registered (it's a long story; we're trying to renew our registration in Idaho, but we're having trouble getting it done).
- My husband's computer died. When he called to find out about fixing it, he was told that it costs $200.00 per hour to have it looked at/fixed. I mean, c'mon...is this for real?
- I called about the speeding ticket, after realizing that it is due today. Apparently, in Reading, Ohio, if you don't pay the ticket in full by the date stipulated, a warrant is put out for your arrest. So, I had to walk to the post office and send the check for $130.00.
Things that went right in the last week or so:
- I signed a book contract.
Yeah, I think this about evens things out. :)
Of course, there are many other things that are always going right in my life: a great little family (my husband and cat), a thriving career, great friendships, a roof over my head, etc. But, for now, I think the contract will get me through the next 30 things that go wrong.
