Murphy's Law Bites...

I feel a little like Andy Rooney..."Didya ever wonder why.....Murphy's Law always seems to get you in the end?" Who the hell is Murphy and how is it that I seem to have pissed on his corn flakes? Is it the Irish in me? Is he out get one of his own? I'm a peace-loving, reasonable Irish-Catholic girl that plays by the rules, what the hell did I ever do to Murphy?

There are plenty of other natural enemies of the Irish....what happened Murph? Run out of ancestors of the British oppressors to wreak havoc upon? There would seem to be a quota that I should have met and/or exceeded by now....please check the records and move on.....can't get blood from a stone, canya?

The weather at the beach, perfect.....lunches, beers and maybe a shot or two of Patron at the Tiki bar.....$200......preps for the trip, new swim gear, shorts, #50 Sunscreen, etc......$350.......hotel bill for 7 glorious days at Virginia Beach....$1100......getting rear-ended in the Hampton Roads Tunnel on the way home in rush-hour traffic by a guy young enough to be my son? PRICELESS, just freakin priceless! (Dude did not apologize either, I need to call his mother to ask about his upbringing)

Thanks Murphy....woulda been perfect without you.... (oh and did I mention, my freakin arm hurts??? (Andy Rooney again) Didya ever have to stop short in traffic and as you are braking glance in the rear view mirror, realize the guy behind you is not going to stop in time? I think that is how most injuries happen....that last 2 seconds when you tense up to get hit.....'Oh, hello Dr. Hottie....it seems there's been a little accident with all your hard work....') Boo-freakin-hoo! OXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX - AL

  1. How lucky are you??? I like you have had the lovely experience of seeing an accident before it happens just in time to tense up before the hit... Hang in there, and this is just another opportunity for you to go back and see Dr Hottie... :)
