I just can’t seem to keep water-filled glasses in an upright position. In fact, I have spilled no less than 4 glasses of water since Christmas. It all started during an innocent lunch at California Pizza Kitchen. I reached across the table to hand something to Nicholas, knocked over my full glass of water, and watched in horror as it splashed all over The Mister and Mikey. The waiter came over with a towel and a look that said such behavior is best reserved for those still developing synapses.
Over the course of the last 3 weeks I have managed to spill three more glasses of water. My latest ham-handed attempt at civilized behavior occurred tonight, while preparing dinner. The most pathetic part of all of this? I didn’t even realize I spilled the water until it occurred to me that onions really aren’t that juicy and, if they were, my eyes would be burning like miniature meteors in my skull.
So, because I am to the left of normal, I decided that clearly the universe is trying to send me signs. Who better to decipher this code than my friend, Google? One ten minute search later and the results are in.
1. Something bad is going to happen.
2. I can expect good luck in the future.
3. I am pregnant.
4. It is going to rain.
Numbers 1 and 2 cancel each other out, which is fine by me because I don’t like surprises. Number 3 just doesn’t work for me right now. I couldn’t possibly take on another psyche to indelibly scar. I’m only one person, you know? That leaves me with number 4. So, for those of you who, like myself, enjoy the rain and are currently experiencing quite a bit of it–all I can say is you’re welcome.

LOL Jules, that’s a good one. Are you sure it’s not number 3? (wink wink) Seems a lot of that talk is going around TWW these days.

I have a family of cup knocker-overs. In fact, last night my 4 year old did it and the cup of water landed in my tote bag filled with magazines I was going through for visual inspiration. He was mortified when he realized what had happened but since it does happen so often, he got over it fast. It’s just the initial shock.
Have a great day!! :)

Hmmm. The first thing I thought was, “could she be pregnant?” ;)

I vote number 3!
Oh wait you mean we’re not voting? Oh well … I still say number 3.
Jules says
Definitely NOT pregnant. The second one isn’t even a year! I do believe I would lose my mind. :)

I just spent the last hour reading all of your posts. I had been reading several blogs so I don’t even know how I got to yours, but yours is the funniest by far. Congratulations on having power over the rain. That’s huge! I was wondering if you ever found the Christmas cards?
Jules says
Country Girl–Hi! Welcome to crazy! :) Thanks for the compliment on my power over weather systems. If only I had that much control over my spending. Sigh.
Getting on to your question–no, those little S.O.Bs. haven’t appeared, yet. I fully expect them to show up the day after the garage sale I’m planning this spring. ;)
Kristen says
Geez those little SOBs huh – do you have some pent up anger over those little guys ;) Thanks for making me chuckle….I like how spilling water is connected to being pregnant. HA HA

Oh and as for the rain I thought it was because I washed my car but we can let you take the credit…..8)
