Quite a while back, my friend, Cami, suggested I do a Deep Thoughts Thursday with The Boozy Weathergirl where I ask the question, "What are the chances of?" So, here goes...
1
It's pouring outside. Instead of sitting on the couch, you decide to finally go out and dance in the rain. Then, as soon as you do, a sudden bolt of lightning, very, very frightening comes out of nowhere and strikes you dead.
2
You and your significant other, with a nice family of children who are all of the same sex, decide to try for one more kid, to get at least one of the sex you don't have. But you know what happens? You don't just get one more of the same sex you already have - you get twins!
3
You've been playing the lotto with the same numbers, every week, for forever. When your numbers finally hit, you run across the street to cash in the ticket and get hit by a bus. This is all before you even thought to call someone, so they could at least take the ticket out of your dying hand.
4
Struggling through old age, making it all the way to 99 and dying on the 364th day of your 100th year.
5
Saving and dreaming and scraping and training until you can finally open your own restaurant. And opening weekend is right before a pandemic closes down the WORLD the next week.
6
Same genre - you earn a perfect score on the SATs the year a pandemic hits and negates the need for standardized test scores.
7
You're starving, and the only thing you're craving is the forbidden snack you hid on the top of the tallest dresser in the house, so you wouldn't be tempted. But you can't take it, stretch until it hurts to reach it and end up pulling the dresser down on top of you, causing you to suffocate.
8
You cautiously wait to have sex, because you're scared shitless of getting pregnant, and as soon as you decide it's ok, the condom breaks.
9
Finally being alone in the house with a big bottle of wine, endless amounts of time and brand-new bath bomb you've been dying to use. You draw the hot bath, jump in, drink the huge bottle, fall asleep and drown.
10
Being dealt a royal flush and having a heart attack at the table.
What are the chances that the universe was created by the power of chance? Not a chance. - RC Sproul
There is a huge chance that I'll be having a cocktail (or ten) this holiday weekend. The irony is that this recipe sounds like something a child would enjoy, yet I'm going to drink it as an adult.
Isn't it ironic?
