Curses! pt deux

Seems not only do I curse myself, but I can now curse others. Yes, I have magical cursing powers. After posting my story about curses, the following occurred:

My husband called me to tell me something in the morning. So we talked, and then I asked him if he was going to be home about 7pm, like normal.

He answered, "No, I'll be home at 6:30."

"So, 7, then," I responded.

He laughed, "No, I'll be home at 6:30!"

I told him he always says that but comes home at 7 or later. He told me he didn't have to to the books for the day shift, so he can just leave at 6:30 (we don't live far from where he works).

I said, "We'll see about that. What if you have to stop some crazy customer from attacking employees? Hmm?" (Yes, this has happened. He didn't make it home until way past 8 that night).

He laughed and said he'd make sure the customer knew he'd have to cut it short and that he had to be home by 6:30. I told him to give me a call and I'd speak to the customer if this does occur.

We laughed. We got off the phone.

I got home and was watching my latest Sex and The City DVD to arrive from Netflix. I figured I had two episodes to get in before he came home. At about 6:20 I played with the idea of actually starting dinner, but I decided not to. At 6:30, when no husband showed up, I decided to watch another episode of Sex and The City. At 7, I heard the door opening and here enters husband.

I looked at him. He looked at me.

He announced to us (cat and I): "You jinxed me!"

He looked okay, so I didn't think he actually got attacked by a customer, so I just stared at him and waited for the rest.

"So it's almost 6:30 and I'm getting ready to leave, when guess what happens?"

"I dunno...customer attacked you?"

"No...........because of you and you jinxing me, Ken came in!"

Ken is the owner of the store my husband runs.

"Oh," I said.

"You and your stupid jinxing. Luckily he noticed I was ready to leave so he said he'd cut it short!"

I dragged him into the room with the computer, brought up my BART tales and pointed at the latest post, Curses! (My husband never reads my blog -- and if he secretly does, then this is one way to find out).

I walked out.

Glad I can pass my good fortune along.
