Best Laid Plans

Around 15 years ago I had this lovely little delusion that I was immune from a number of life's surprises and therefore I would be able to avoid a number of experiences.  I had this mental list of stuff that I would never do. This is an actual list of stuff I thought would never happen... but it did!

I never thought that I would:

1. have a boyfriend
2. get married
3. be left for a younger woman
4. divorce my husband before the age of 30 (or at all for that matter)
5. be childless at the age of 25
6. be a supply teacher
7. be an high school teacher
8. have 5 nephews and a niece
9. watch my sister marry and get pregnant
10. talk to strangers on the train 
11. play in a band
12. stop playing in a band
13. teach someone how to play an instrument
14. go to university
15. finish university
16. live with my BFF
17. borrow money from my parents
18. write and deliver the eulogy at my Grandfather's funeral
19. go to a different church
20. think that my teddy is alive
21. miss a Kiah 
22. let people sign my clothes
23. be successful at anything
24. spend more than $200 on a single pair of shoes
25. write a blog!
