Oh Sara, what an absolute nightmare of a day!!
Some days it's definately better not to get out of bed! Hope today is much MUCH better.
Poor Sara...Sorry you had such a terrible day. I do like your recipe for dinner though!
Ahh! What an awful day! At least today is Friday... hope you have a great weekend to make up for it!
That is definitely going on my list for MUSTS for dinner! ;-)

Poor Sara - hope the the weekend's going better.
oh I'm so sorry you had an awful day. I guess we all have days like these when everything seems to go wrong.
Hope your car is going all right now : )
Don't those days suck? I can totally relate. Collectively stinky days BITE THE WEENIE!
I think you dealt with it in the only reasonable way a person could.
Repeat ... repeat ... repeat ...
