The reason we're still here ....

I am a firm believer in jinxes.  I am hesitant to share certain pieces of information, do certain things, or say certain things out of a belief that I will then jinx the situation.

And this is why....

About two weeks ago, I was shopping at HEB (best store ever!) and saw that they had tomato plants.  Even better, the tomato plants had green tomatoes on them!  I had mentioned wanting to grow some tomatoes before and even asked our friends who bought our house if they would want a tomato plant.  I texted Stewart and asked if I could go ahead and get one even though we were leaving.  He told me yes assuming that by saying this we would be leaving immediately.

So I brought home our tomato plant.  I was so excited about all the tomatoes it already had on it plus all the flowers that were turning into teeny tiny tomatoes.  I mentioned to Stewart how much I love fresh tomatoes and couldn't wait until ours ripened. He then told me that we would be gone before any of them ripened.  I asked why he let me go ahead and get it and he said it was because he knew we would end up leaving right away.  Gee, thanks.

I was so excited about the tomato plant that I kept telling everyone about it.  I also made sure to mention that I hoped it would hurry up and ripen soon so that we could have some tomatoes.  Meanwhile, Stewart was telling people that because we bought this plant, we would be gone very soon.  I now believe that he's jinxed us because this is happening ....

Secretly, I'm really happy about him jinxing us because I really wanted to eat at least one of our tomatoes!
