The thing got sucked into a black hole. I barely scraped by in Physics class, but I’m working out the equations to explain it. It’s the only plausible answer. Now poor Dan is out an iPod (containing lots of irreplaceable music) and I’m now known as the Crazy iPod loser at the Gym.
Dan, though sad at the loss was pretty nice about the whole situation, though he’s sure it was just an elaborate plot to justify me getting an iPhone. I’ve been coveting them for a while now. I just know that if I had one I would be happy, forever. There has gotta be an app that guarantees that.
Just when I’m positive I’m cursed, the universe throws me a bone. The doctor I work for is super generous. He has taken Dan and I out to dinner several times to the fanciest restaurants in Monterey (which are seriously fancy.) There’s no other way we’d be dining at five star restaurants and ordering $50 plates that include foie gras or crème fraiche. Saturday I got another chance to pretend to be rich and fancy.
We have a patient that owns a really popular boutique in Carmel, and instead of paying her bills at our office, she adds it to an “account” at her store. So Natalie (my co-worker) and I got to go cash in on the Doctor’s account at the boutique. Holy cats, a plain white tank top in that store: $120. It was amazing getting designer clothes for free, but at the same time I kept thinking how many iPhones I could buy with all that clothes money…
Because Dan and I are such die-hard football fans (read: we didn’t know who was playing) we decided the Super-Bowl called for the purchase of a charcoal grill.
We (I did the prep, Dan actually grilled) made some Grilled Pizzas. Bit of a learning curve at the beginning, but we got them down. Unfortunately our beloved Colts (we choose them cause everyone else there was cheering for the Saints), lost. See! More proof I’m cursed – I single handedly brought Peyton Manning down.
The only thing to do when cursed? Eat. It makes one feel better. Then brings on a new curse of not fitting in your jeans. Some new things I made this week that I’d actually make again:
These Pancakes with this Syrup/Carmel
And these Cookies!

Holy smacks! $120 for a shirt? Good thing you didn't have to pay! Sunday was seriously tons of fun. Thanks for "having us." The food was awesome, and the company was stellar... If I do say so myself. And one of these days we need to get together and have a recipe swap! See ya on the bike tonight ;)
Wow - those pancakes look delicious! There is no way I could ever spend that much on a tank top. I spent that much on a pair of jeans and I don't even wear them anymore. Talk about feeling guilty. Sorry about the whole IPod situation. I would feel so embarrassed to have everyone looking with me! I get embarrassed when I lose something in the theater and have to look around for it.
Wow, that sounds like the best job ever!! You can't be totally cursed.
So you should seriously write a book. I love reading your blog. Makes me giggle after a day of hating people and being angry. For that I thank you
I swear you two make the best food!... You should live closer so you can teach me;) I can't believe the i pod fell into a black hole...WTF! ha and someone even moved the machine... Maybe it fell in the machine? Anyways sorry for your loss. You gave me a good laugh though, cause i can picture your face when it was no where to be found..
I hate that black hole I sware it follows me. Oh and you totally suck for getting free clothes ;)
Lauren, You never fail to crack me up. It's a tad embarrasing at work though when I'm laughing my pants off and have to try to hold it in... can end it awkward noises... Anyway sorry about the ipod. That is rather upsetting. And I don't think you're cursed, but just in case I think you should take one of your weeks off to come visit. That will cure all cursedness!
