Bad things happen to me. Not horrible things, more like... unfortunate things. Like, I make hotel reservations and when I arrive they have no record of who I am. Alot of things that i buy are defective, missing parts or broken. When I crave McDonalds icecream and I drive there, about half the time the machine is broken. I find the perfect shoe but they have every size but mine. I order things online and it comes one day after I really needed it. One of the biggest things that has happened to me was one time I had invited 100 people to a co-ed bridal shower and when I show up at the place to get it all ready it was completely locked up, dark, and no one is in sight. Talk about panic! It was resolved, but still. Unfortunately I have passed on this trait to my boys. I always know where my oldest is in a store because whatever he touches, it crashes to the floor. I hear it four isles away. He picks one thing off the rack and the whole rack of twenty falls to the ground. My youngest get's sick everytime he has a fieldtrip to go on. We have missed three of them and he is only in first grade.
So when I try anything new, I usually expect the worst. Not the most postivie way to go about life but at least I'm not disappointed when things don't turn out. My point is, when I decided to have a garden I wasn't expecting much. In fact, I didn't think anything would grow at all. But low and behold.....
My beautiful tomato plants
Green beans
cucumber
Fruitage!!!
If it all shrivels up and rots tomorrow I won't be surprised. But if I actually get something edible out of this.....well, I just may have to change my profession.
