Eat your Cabbage

On New Years Eve/Day you are supposed to eat Cabbage, Ham, and Black Eyed peas for good luck, money and health. apparently, I don't know to cook cabbage so it was gross, so I didn't even swallow one piece of that. So Good luck was out of the question for my 2012. Superstitious right, probably not true? I hoped so.

Until last night.
1- I had a complication in a work project that has lasted way too long, which sucks, I know what you're thinking. that's not really 'bad luck' is it? and then;
2- I'm walking down the sidewalk with a co-worker and miss a curb and fall. I banged up both knees, my ankle, and I got a bruise on my finger? Not sure how that one happened.
3- My Check Engine light on my truck came, and now I have to go to my mechanic and figure out what's wrong and buy some ridiculous part for him to install. (although, this could turn good news, now that he got his teeth fixed and I can focus on his face, he's really cute ;) )

ON another note- I did eat my black eyed peas. and H&R Block looked at a previous year's taxes for me, and found almost $1,600 extra for me to get back. so, I guess I will stick with my black eyed peas every year.
