Mostly I charge my iphone in the car. That is because I almost live in the car. So, charging in the car is just the most convenient. Yesterday Evan closed the car on the tip of my charger, so today I ended up at the Apple store. Naturally the sales person who started yesterday (this always happens to me) came up to help me and when I told her I needed a car charger for my iphone she showed me something that was a combination charger and radio player. The thought of broadcasting my own personal music collection (instead of tediously and laboriously actually changing CD's because then I would have move more than my thumb. I'd have to move maybe even my whole arm and possibly the other one too.) thrilled me to no end and I grabbed it immediately. Having some extra time on my hands I went to the shoe store and replaced my mom clogs with new exactly the same but new mom clogs, and also picked myself up a coiuple of chanukkah gifts. I decided that this year I'd be giving myself some gifts. I deserve them. Then having precisely the corrrect amount of time I needed to exit the mall, stop at the store for tonight's dinner, and pick up Josh, I headed for the parking lot. I tossed the goods into the back, hopped into the drivers seat and unwrapped the charger/radio broadcaster, plugged it in and read the message on my iphone. It said "Warning: this device is not designated for the iphone. You will not be able to make or receive calls while it is in use." or something like that. SO I had a choice, and it was go back to the Apple Store and get a cheesy only do one thing charger or get dinner. Guess who had takeout tonight?
But I got toally off track because the reason I even thought about writing anything about the charger is because poor Evan is the kid who is in the wrong place at the wrong time and Evan is the one who does stuff like break my nose, fall on my head, drop a hamster, and more. And I was not happy about the charger mis hap but when I thought I was going to have a charger and radio broadcaster instead of just a plain old charger I thought about this whole post I could write about the charger mishap happening for a good reason. Like maybe Evan's luck was going to change and I wouldn't have any more broken/pinched stuff or little fuzzy creatures wouldn't fall from great heights onto tile floors, or even if he only stopped spilling his drink at dinner every night. I thought the whole charger incident was a good omen (I have to stop with the omens) and the beginning of a new kind of luck. And then I saw that the new charger didn't work and when I went back to the store I bought the exact same charger I already had. But I am stopping believing in omens.
