~Bad luck~

Did you know that bad luck is inherited? Those in which we inherited ours from... KNOW WHO I'M TALKING ABOUT! I'm so holding this against all of you who are responsible for my affiliation to that particular last name..... {I'm not going to mention that name, of course, because the entire internet community (or the three or so people who read me) would be laughing about the fact that we share that name with a Muppet.}

After the plumbing fiasco is nearly resolved (minus the build-back-ing) -- we head out for a walk yesterday. We gleefully wander into the sunny evening, throw the girl in the cart, leash up Zoey, stare head-on at the front of our Land Rover and Oh. My. Gawd. The right portion of our bumper is totally mangled.

Doug vaguely remembers running over something on the highway the other day, when there was no option to swerve out of the way (ah, cement walls, cars, or this "thing." He nailed the "thing.") And that darned thing is going to eat more of my rotten, stinking pennies!

What. is. up. with. the. bad. luck?
