I never believed in the unlucky number 13. I liked it actually, thought it had its charms. Friday the 13th, unlucky, Nah whatever. That was until today.

This is how my day has started and it's only 9:30 am.
First at around 8 a.m. there is a knock on the door, its the electric company letting me know they have to turn off my power. Normally this would be fine, except I had to leave in twenty minutes and my hair was still soaking wet from the shower. Nice.

So I get in the car and pop in my retainer that I had forgotten to wear the night before, and it cracks my bonding on my teeth, so now I have a broken tooth. Nice.

Two minutes later I get a phone call, my boyfriend has a business meeting at ten and managed to spill an entire cup of coffee from head to toe. I turn around to get him clothes. Nice.

I'm now late for work. I get here and go downstairs to my dentist (yes convenient) only to find out that he is out of town until Tuesday. So I have a big crack in my tooth until Tuesday. Nice.

Then I get my tax paperwork from the "tax guy" only to realize that a POSSIBLE scenario we added to my account, putting $1000 into an IRA (which I needed anyway) for my side business, was left in. We can't get in touch with him, so now I need to come up with a grand to put into an IRA by Monday, or I get penalized. Nice.

(Okay so this was something I was planning on doing anyway, just wasn't planning on doing it for this tax season and I only have to come up with like $200 to cover it because I have the rest, but still annoying)

All and all I no longer laugh at the number 13 and I'm thinking this day isn't going to get much better. I'm considering cutting my losses and going home after lunch.

Wow. That's a lot of bad luck AND coffee. Was your bf drinking coffee out of a Big Gulp cup?



My Friday the 13th has started out with me sick. Awesome.

I'm hoping. Thing is my boss isn't here yet, my day always gets sooo much better when he gets here (that was loaded with sarcasm and mean dry wit)



It was a very large cup of coffee what made it worse is that he put it on the hood of his car to get the rest of his stuff out, and he fell off the roof all over him... high velocity coffee splatter

good point. very good point.



I have a meeting with a client at noon to get more work, and I have a big broken (and now sore) tooth. I'm afraid to take my retainer out ...



I have to be more positive. Damn it.

Lol. At least you didn't leave your wallet on top of the car like my Dad did. I think the realisation dawned when he was on the M27. (Local freeway) Actually used in Olly Moss's 'Walk Instead' design.

That was a good Threadless related tangent I think.

You can always go to the nearest grocery store and get yourself some of those fake "Bubba" teeth from a gumball machine.



They should hide your broken tooth nicely.

Lovely meeting with a client with a jagged cracked tooth. Lovely.

My husband is sick today, too. Sore throat, cough, runny nose. But he can't hold a tissue up to nose on his own just yet, so guess what I get to do all day? Whee!
