This has been a most interesting week full of things that make me ask God: "why?" Both "Why is everything going opposite of the way I want it to?" and "Why do I deserve so much goodness?"

The list of HORRIBLE things that happened to us:

1. Scott lost his job this week which included our main and most consistent source of income.

2. I got cast as 5 cameo roles in Macbeth (Gentlewoman, 2 Servants, a Messenger and a witch double).

3. The weather.

4. One of my teacups broke

5. Going to a play by myself

6. A Humor's show for the Eastern Idaho Credit Union

7. A broken engine mount on my car
