And Ye Shall Walk Through All Thy Hills, a' chanting "Ohmmm" "Ohhmm, Ohmmm"

I'm still thinking positive thoughts:

When the new year starts, it's supposed to bring forth a bonafide breath of fresh air and a ray of hope for positive change.
Or some bs like that.
I have a feeling ours is about to go downhill for the rest of the year and it's only January.

Started innocently enough.  January second, I rounded the corner in the car and at that moment the side view mirror bounced out of its casing, onto the road, cracked and rolled into the dirt.

Seven years of bad luck instantly befell us.

The other day I walked into the master bathroom and was suddenly hit with the ever- so- slight aroma of...
wet drywall.
Further inspection revealed a damp wall behind the toilet, cracked plaster and a gaping hole where the plaster had started to separate and finally gave way.   We knew the bathroom was in dire need of remodeling, but we were hoping to hold it off for awhile.  Like another year or two.

Britt walked into the dining room a few minutes ago and as we were talking, her arm hit a glass vase that had been left on the table and.....
you guessed it.

There are two other things that happened too personal to blog about.  Let's just say I never, ever should have laughed in the face of superstition on New Years Day!

If we eat black beans and rice for dinner will that reverse the spell? Or pork? Or collards... what is it....  Hell, I'll even eat the head of a dried toad.

So please, send me your ideas for chants or good luck charms asap!  I'm off to kill a rabbit for his  foot.

Or uh.... how is that good luck for the rabbit?

On a whole other topic,
We rented Little Miss Sunshine and Mission Impossible III.
  Excellent, excellent!  Good  movies, both of 'em.
I stand corrected on my earlier posts about Tom Cruise.  He finally learned how to act. That's all I'm going to say about him.  Most of the time, he can't act.  But in this movie he finally turned off the whole  "...look at me, I'm Tom Cruise" act and merged as one into the character of Ethan.
I tuned him out when he began preaching about his religion where the aliens landed from the mothership...or some other bs like that.

All right, it's 11 p.m and I think I'll call it a night. I really shouldn't blog when I'm this tired. My brain has begun that slow descent into sleep even though the rest of my body is still awake.
And when I wake up, there better be changes....
;)

The cursor-lingering thing - kewl!

Guess what? Breaking a mirror is only bad luck if you let it be. Imagine you had never heard that before. You wouldn't know to be upset, would you? Foret you ever knew it and your luck will change. I decree it!

[Janet]

damn girl...quick, make you some black eyed peas! Even this northern chick knows that! (http://southernfood.about.com/od/blackeyedpeas/r/bl81231g.htm)

[Seamus]

It's blackeyed peas and greens; however it may be too late!
I suggest you dance naked in the moonlight and write your name backwards with fresh chicken blood!
Little Miss Sunshine was wonderful! :)

[Nils]

Yeah, I tried that dancing naked in the moonlight thing once. I gotta say, it works ever so much better for reversing bad luck if you happen to live in a rural area. In an urban centre, it tends to bring you luck in the form of a guest appearance on "Cops" and a cellmate named Bubba or LaVonda who thinks you're "real purty".

Try dancing naked in the bedroom. In my experience, that offers a much better chance of getting lucky.

We rented Little Miss Sunshine on the same night you did, and it was delightful - I love movies with "moments".

[Leanne]

Ahh you've joined the Snap phenomenon. LOL Welcome! We're a strange but curious bunch, you'll fit right in. ;)

I don't know what to tell you about changing your luck. I think it's just the moon, personally, it's been full for over a week. Wierd things are happening everywhere!

[Terri]

I have to agree with Leanne....I think it's simply the "moon" thing. So hold on....this too shall pass. (hopefully for you...lol)
That Snap thing on the blogs is really cool. I thought about doing that too....and then changed my mind...lol
Here's wishing you better days ahead and if that doesn't work....you could always put yourself into a tunnel and just isolate.

[Laura]

All right, Janet, thanks for the recipe link. I think I'll cover all the bases.

Tonight I'll dance naked in the light of the full moon, after eating black eyed peas and pork, and at the same time, I'll refuse to accept the bad luck that has befallen us and turn it into something positive.
But I aint showing you all the video...(g)

I think tom cruise is good in all his movies, but his personal life is crap. Dancing on Ophra's couch claiming, "I'm in Love" ye gods, he is not a teenager... and butting his nose into Brookes depression.. what the hell does he know about that?..How many babies has he delivered? He has been acting like a juvenile freak.
As for the bad luck streak. Life sometimes sucks! face it, complain, cuss and move on. And don't wonder what will happen next cause something surely will. For us, the damned car won't start!

[Laura]

Mom, some of us choose to blog about it in a humorous fashion instead. That works alot better than taking these types of things too seriously. I don't blog about the more serious things going on around here.
Hope you get your car working.

[Nils]

I'm just checking my Book of Spells. I think for "car not starting", you need to dance naked in the moonlight with a cell phone and the number of a good mechanic.

[Laura]

LOL Nils, that'll bring 'em out!

[Laura]

Update: Hub's truck broke down on the way to work this morning. It is being towed home as I type this.

so much for hoping for better luck, lol.

[Nils]

I wasn't specific. It was YOU who had to do the nekkid moonlight dancing, not Rick! NOW look whatcha done!

[Laura]

I think he did the wrong dance, too. I'll have to go out on the street at moonlight tonight and fix it...

[Nils]

*rummaging* I just KNOW I had night vision goggles around here somewhere...
