Have you ever wondered about Murphy's Law? Well, I have. Luckily, I have an awesome cousin who explained it all to me so clearly, and I'm sharing her (Cyndi Gaffney's) wisdom here in this week's Deep Thoughts Thursday with The Boozy Weathergirl!
1
Nothing is as easy as it looks. This is never as clear as when you are assembling something from IKEA.
2
Everything takes longer than you think. Do you have a husband? OK, so this is understood.
3
Anything that can go wrong will go wrong. Ever planned a family vacation? Well, then this is your motto. Or at least it should be...
4
If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that will cause the most damage will be the one to go wrong. Corollary: If there is a worse time for something to go wrong, it will happen then. This is like taking a shit in a public bathroom with no toilet paper. And your future mother-in-law, who really was not impressed with your frank commentary on politics, walks into the stall next to you...

If anything simply cannot go wrong, it will anyway. Sunny forecast in San Diego, rainy wedding...#fml

If you perceive that there are four possible ways in which a procedure can go wrong, and circumvent these, then a fifth way, unprepared for, will promptly develop. My brain hurt with this one. Probably because I was drinking. You come up with your own explanation here. Thanks!

Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse. OK, anyone who knows me or who has ever hung out with me, just changes "themselves" to "Gina."

Mother nature is a bitch. Folks, I have been saying this for YEARS! I often talk more about the boozy than the weather. But, come on! My friends have flown their kids back from Florida about a hundred times since school started less than two months ago. Mother Nature needs some fucking anxiety meds, and she needs them fast!

Whenever you set out to do something, something else must be done first. Do you have children? A pet? A parent? Then you get me. No additional explanation needed.

The Light at the end of the tunnel is only the light of an oncoming train. This one really had me laughing my ass off. Spoken as a true pessimist. #iykyk
I live my life like this - have fun, be smart, and if you can't do either, be really fucking rich. I think I have two of these covered. Working on the third. Until then, enjoy this...
Murph made me do it
