There are those moments in life that you can go for days on cloud nine and enjoy good news every day. And then, just as suddenly you can have one day with nothing but bad news.
A couple weeks ago I won two tickets to go see the Oprah Winfrey show. A live taping. My girlfriend is such a huge fan of Oprah's and I surprised her with the other ticket. She had been very depressed lately because of loseing her job of 26 years and finding it difficult to find another job. Then I made her day with the Oprah news. And a week later, she finds a job. I am so happy for her.
Today is a different story. She was able to tell her new employer that she would start right away as long as she had this certain day off to go to the Oprah Winfrey show. "Not a problem says her new employer, it is the month of november which will be hard to get a day off."
Well, I just received this morning an email from the audiance crew at Oprah and was informed that the date of the show tapeing has been cancelled and we would be able to get another date of our choosing in November. I was crushed, more so for my girlfriend because now she can't go. I feel so awful.
It isn't a problem trying to find someone to take the other ticket. But I feel so bad for her. She has wanted this for like ever. And now she will not have an opportunity to see Oprah in person.
So there ya have it, first your up, and then your down.
Bill is leaving tonight to go hunting, and I will be alone for the weekend. Perfect opportunity to finish the one flannel quilt I need to finish by christmas. I also found a beautiful tree skirt pattern I thought I would try my hand at. So I have everything together to start that project too. Some quiet time for me. I don't get enough of that these days.
