This week I discovered a new ability. I can curse things. Yep, that's right. Little ole me, cursing (not cussing, although I have been known to do that too). Hence the title of today's blog. What brought this about, you might ask. As you might have noticed, I've been rather scarce of late due to moving into my new house. Which, BTW, is lovely. Back to the cursing. On Tuesday, day of having to find a boat to go anyplace, the hubster and I were heading on over to our old house and I opened my big mouth and mentioned how nice it was to own a house that didn't leak. No flooding in the driveway that almost made it into the house (and we wondered when we first bought it why there were sandbags in the storage shed), no leaking fireplaces or doors. The hubster gasped and said that I just cursed us. I laughed, thinking I did not have this ability. But hey, I do, so watch out!
Yep, walked back in to the new place several hours later and what to our wondering eyes did appear, but a waterfall in the master bedroom window and a leak in the middle of our study. I spent the evening shuttling pots around and watching this spot on the ceiling fall in. Luckily our builder came out the next day and fixed the roof (we hope) and is coming back on Monday to redo the sheetrock.
But the main lesson is, what I say comes back to bite me in the a$$. Rather odd thought. Sounds like something I heard at RWA conference last year, if it ain't nice, don't say it. Karma catches up to you when you least expect it. The leaking roof is hopefully fixed, but other things we say have a tendency to haunt us.
Know what I mean? And BTW, don't say anything to cause me to curse at you. :)
