the 24 hours of good luck

Today started out like every other day.....

I woke up, made coffee, and got to writing some more cover letters.  Little did i know, today would be the day i'd be a big girl.  I was debating whether or not to make a third cup of coffee.  Did i really need it?  Of course i did! So i made that third cup.  Sitting at my computer at the island in the kitchen, i began to sip that coffee and all of a sudden steaming HOT coffee was spilled all over the island!!!! Everything was soaked! It dripped down the cabinets, into the spices, my cupcake tins were soaked!!!!  The kitchen reeked of coffee....but what did not get a bit of coffee on it?  My computer.  Any other day my computer would have been fried.  My clumsiness has soaked a camera, phone, and ipod.  So my computer was spared??? This MUST be my lucky day!!!!!

While cleaning up endless amounts of caffeine, my phone rang.  My long lost friend Glen called, wanting to go to Letchworth.  In case you didn't know, it's an abandoned community for the epileptic and feebly minded.  This place has been run down for 10+ years and Jake took Lauren and i there right before new years.  The first time i went i was petrified,....Jake held my hand the entire time!!!!  I warned glen.  PLUS, we needed someone to neutralize our horrible luck (glen and i have toxic luck together).  In came Andy, and thank god bc i missed him too!  So the 3 of us headed to Letchworth.  I warned them, 'guys if i grab your arms or hands, dont be alarmed.'  

We entered the building with the morgue in the basement....the one that burned down on the top floor.  

After exploring, Andy climbed on the roof! 

Glen and I soon followed.

I apparently got a splinter in the process.  We all climbed inside and headed downstairs.   I found myself becoming extremely brave and leading the way!  I couldn't believe it!!!!  I had all of a sudden become a big girl!!!!

After this lovely excursion, i headed home.  Bear and Fox were waiting for me and i gave them big fat hugs.  I saw a lot of abandoned cats today and wanted to take them all in.  Sadly, they wouldn't come anywhere near me.  Go figure!  I also came home to an awesome post card from Pete!!! I love post cards, almost as much as i love this blog......

Erin came over to color.  I explained to her how my luck was strangely not that bad in the past 24 hours.  We rejoiced and colored!!!  She colored her brother a beautiful picture of strawberry shortcake hugging a snowman.....then, an hour later, i spilled a full glass of water all over that picture and her entire coloring book....as well as everything else on the table....

The moral of this story.... my good luck lasted for 24 hours.  It was a great 24 hours...no injuries, a surprise or two,  got stuff done, didn't ruin anything, and got a chance to hangout with/ talk to people i really wanted to (minha, glen, andy, erin, lauren, jesslyn, laura, pete.. blahblahblah).  I hope this happens again, but until then, i'm really glad i bought this bottle of gin.
