25 Things About Me (in no particular order...)

Friday Love List

It's been a week.

Starting from my truck dying last Saturday as I was on my way to an appointment to the subsequent stress of figuring out how to fix it, could I afford to fix it, and how to get to work when the public transit choices were challenging..to say the least..I present to you :

I <3 My Friends Friday Love List

• My next door neighbors who drove me to work- totally out of their way, btw.
• My buddy Evan  who drove me home from work Sunday night....keeping in mind he lives 4 blocks from work, which meant he had to turn around and drive back in less than ideal weather.
• My Managers  who were reassuring and understanding like you can't believe 
• All my friends that responded to a 'when desparate times call for desparate measures' email I sent last week. Even if they couldn't help, they responded...which is the same as helping. 
• My buddy Andrew who offered to drive from Boulder to come get me AND let me use his car while my truck was in the shop
• My buddies Tom & Dale  who offered to drive me home and back or wait, better yet, just stay at their lovely house (which is 10 minutes from where I work)
• Also reaching out with support HDW, Clizbiz, Bella's Mommy, Rosie
• Tom and Dale spoiling me beyond rotten as a houseguest. I swear they are in cahoots with HDW in that regard
• And although he's not a good friend, or even a friend, Brandon at Denver Suzuki gave me a free loaner car while my truck was in the shop. Yeah, he was hoping I would buy it, but not so much. Still, it was a nice marketing gesture and I truly appreciated it. And if you need to buy a Suzuki, please stop by and say hi to Brandon Musante at Denver Suzuki. 
• Last but not least, Ryan from my credit union who used to be my Customer Service rep. He's now a branch manager that came to my rescue when the new person I talked to at my credit union in FL said my signature had changed from the one on file and they were doubting that I was me. Tres Stressy! But Ryan to the rescue, so all was good. 

  
Yes boys and girls, it was a week. And having all these lovely friends (and Brandon) come to my aid made me realize that I have so much to be grateful for and isn't it nice when the people you know and love give that love back to you?

All you need is love. And a vehicle that works.

Happy Friday!

What??  You don't know who Meg is?? Well get yourself over to her bloggity blog blog and find out.

But before you go, you must know this!

Meg is a breath of fresh air and common sense and frivolity and interesting tid-bits and down-home Canadian charm and so many other sorts of wonderful adjectives and nouns and you really don't have a complete blog roll unless Meg is in it.
