Buttering Up Karma

I really don’t feel like this is the month I’ll get pregnant. I feel that it will happen for me, but that karma is going to make me pay a few dollars first.

I’m not a religious person, and I never considered myself superstitious, but I’m starting to realize I am. The fact that I knock on wood about 20 times a day and have for at least the last 25 years probably should have keyed me in. In fact, I feel like I should be knocking on some right now.

I figure since I’m asking the universe to give me a baby, and a few other things, that I really ought to do my best to keep karma on my side. I began my efforts at buttering her up in earnest on Saturday when I got out to my car and realized the Henry’s clerk hadn’t charged me for the New Mexico chile powder I needed for the Tacos Nogales that night and so I turned around, marched back into the store, and stood in line for 10 minutes so I could pay them my $1.19.

I just hope she doesn’t hold it against me that for about 30 seconds, after seeing the long checkout lines, I considered not paying for it.
