Well, I’ve had a couple of glasses of wine, and my thoughts are just a little bit soused. Is that possible? Maybe. Maybe not. I do know I tend to think just a little bit strange after a glass or two . (After three I just go to sleep. LOL)
Ever wonder if certain words are actually curses? As in bad magic, voodoo, don’t even go there curses? For me, that word would be ‘NEVER’. It’s taken me awhile, but I realize now that every single time I say the 'N' word, whatever I used it in reference to is exactly what I get.
I was NEVER going to get married, and yet at the age of 18, I said I do to the man of my dreams. I NEVER wanted to have children. Luckily, I only had two and they’ve turned out pretty good considering they had me for a mother. I was NEVER going to settle down and NEVER ever going to become one of those PTA attending, fundraiser organizer kinds of people. Guess what?! Did them all, and thoroughly enjoyed them.
When my last dog died, I swore through a river of tears that I would NEVER get another one, and if I did it would NEVER be a Jack Russell Terrier. Those little dogs are hyper and hard to manage. Four months later, I looked into Sassi’s sad brown eyes, and took her home. I was right. She goes to the office with me every day, and they fondly refer to her as the JR Terrorist. Just try not throwing that tennis ball for her!
Did I mention I have a cat? You guessed it. NEVER would I get another cat after my little Jericho had to be put to sleep after eighteen years. Of course, I only agreed to take Jeff temporarily. Hah! It’s been four years now. Even I know that’s not temporary.
These days, I’m very careful. I use phrases like : It’s highly unlikely, or I doubt that I’ll ever... Can’t be too careful!
Right now I will definitely go get another glass of wine, and contemplate my grandson’s bedroom. Did I mention I once said I would NEVER be one of those doting idiots who took in their grandchildren when they became teenagers? He starts high school this year. Forget the glass, give me the bottle!

Girl, you gotta use your power of never for good.
You are NEVER going to win the lottery.
(grinning
Great idea! I'll cut you in for 10% of whatever I win.
**puts lottery ticket on the to-buy list**
I don't know that I actually "said" never, but I certainly never expected to leave the state where I grew up, never expected to be a housewife (being of the career-minded feminist sort) and never expected I'd one day write erotic romance.
Good post. Funny how things work out in life.
