How can someone live for almost 33 years and then all of a sudden become completely and utterly unlucky and clumsy?

Seriously, in the last 2 months my luck has changed for the extreme worse. Between stuff happening in real life and online and just in general, I seem to have this dark and mischievous cloud hovering over me. I'm an optimist, probably more than I should be. I always see the good in any situation and rarely ever let myself focus on the bad and negatives in life. BUT, if things keep up like this, I may turn into a grumpy old lady.

As for the clumsiness, Chris SWEARS I've always been clumsy, but I've never realized it until recently. Maybe my family can tell me more from growing up if I was a clumsy kid. I know I walked into walls and fell of my bike a lot, but would you have strictly put me in the gangly/clumsy category? Maybe my bad luck has tainted my already testing footing on the ground, making it that more treacherous for me.

Online wise, my luck is just horrific. I think, in a way, it always has been and I've just blown it off. In gaming, I never was able to get anything I wanted to drop from creatures we would kill. I was kinda always "last in line" for loot, either by situation or luck. Gamers out there will understand what I'm talking about, but for the unaware.... I play online role playing games, I'm currently playing a hunter in WoW. Now, this hunter uses a ranged weapon to kill with, so I use bows, guns, etc. So, if I hope that we kill a creature and that it will drop its really nice BOW so I can use it, I'm almost 100% guaranteed that it will only ever drop when I'm NOT there....

This dark cloud that is following me needs to go away, it's bringing back my depression at times and makes me want to cry from lack of ability to change my fortune. It's put my weight-loss on standstill (still at 60 pounds, btw.)

Speaking of weight-loss, I just celebrated my 1 year Bandiversary! On 10/17/06 I had my lap-band put in! I haven't regretted it 1 day and love it. Being able to lose weight slowly by just living and not worrying about it ROCKS!

Soon I will post pictures from my state fair pottery winnings. I did really well this year and entered 11 pieces and won 11 ribbons! 2 - 1st places, 4 - 2nd places, 2 - 3rd places and 3 - 4th places!

In case you haven't noticed, I've been really busy with the 2 jobs and life in general, and my blog is suffering for it. I never have anything interesting to say it will get very few and far between updates when I feel "inspired". I'd love to know who's checking it out though. Last month I had an insane amount of people here averaging over a thousand visits most days and a few days I had 4-5 thousand visitors.... WTF I must have someone trying to spam me and unable to because of my security measures I have on here...

Anyway I need to shower and go to work, I have an errand or two before I get there I need to accomplish.

PS: Mom, you will have a package that is LATE arriving soon for you and Dad!

I do not think you were really clumsy. Other than having run-ins with a bus and a bike here end there, lol.

It is good that you have lost and maintained 60 lbs. in the last year. that is wonderful. I am at 21 lbs. since the middle of June.
We met Tee's new man friend. He is really nice. Looking forward to seeing you guys in a couple of months. MOM
