Go with your gut feeling

You know when your are going about your day, and as you're doing something you think to yourself 'this isn't going to turn out well'? What is it about us that makes us keep doing whatever it is we are doing, ignore this feeling, and hope for the best?



Monday morning I am getting ready for my day, so I could meet my friend Nancy for lunch to do a belated celebration for her birthday. (...and a shout out to Nancy for her birthday.... Hey girl!!) So I get done putting on my makeup and set my makeup bag on a shelf above the toilet. As I am doing my hair, there is a bottle of hairspray that I need and it's sitting behind the makeup bag. As I am reaching for the hairspray and picking it up, I am looking at the makeup bag, and then at the open toilet, and thinking "this isn't going to turn out well", but does that stop me? NO it does not! As I hit the corner of my makeup bag with the bottom of the bottle of hairspray, and watch it teeter forward (unzipped mind you) and fall upside down in the toilet, I knew instantly that I deserved it. I should have listened to my gut feeling. Swearing did NOT make the toilet seat slam shut and save my makeup's life either. If I would have thought for one second that the items would have flushed down and not clogged the toilet, I would have sent them off to a better place, but instead I had to put my hand in there (gag) and fish the items out. Now that I have taken out a loan to replace all of my makeup (you know how expensive it is), and had my hand in toilet water, I think I've learned my lesson.
