I'll admit to being rather superstitious. Not to the point of being afraid of black cats and staying in bed all day on Friday the 13th, but I'll take a few steps to avoid walking under a ladder, don't like to open gifts before Christmas, and have more than a couple evil eyes hung in inconspicuous places in my home to ward off evil.
Last week my new gray heels were delivered, and I got home and the box was sitting on the table. I opened them and set them on the table as if they were a centerpiece. My husband looked at me and said,"Get the shoes off the table. You know that's bad luck."
What? Why the hell would I know that, and who ever said that? Crap. I put shoes on the table all the time. For photos, when they come out of the box, while I'm packing my bags. It probably happens once a week.
I looked it up, worried now that this was like the broken mirror thing and I had somehow accumulated 487 years of bad luck, but the good news is that it seems that shoes on a table just mean bad luck for the day (that may explain a lot), but it also means you're going to argue with your spouse. The real bad thing? New shoes on a table are the symbol that someone has died.
Crap. Well, I'm not dead, and if I argued with the hubby I don't remember, but why chance it? From now on shoes stay off the table. Especially new shoes. I don't want to get hit by a bus or anything because of my shoes.
And while I'm at it, I better clean my closet out and straighten up because it's also bad luck to leave shoes upside down.
Suddenly my closet full of beautiful shoes is also a den of possible bad luck.
