77 years of bad luck

See this picture??

Well that used to be a 10 foot, I repeat 10 foot mirror.

What had happened was (said in the voice of the ladies man).

Casey used to work part time for one of the Hilton property hotels. This said hotel renovated their conference suite and was trying to get rid of this mirror.

*sidenote: remember how we were "renovating our bathroom" that is now the family joke.

See here.

The bathroom was not a pretty blue with not pretty fixtures. It also has heinous aweful black Cabinet paint job..

Well we painted the bathroom grey, and found new fixtures and the plan was to hang a mirror BEHIND the sconces. This said 10 ft. Mirror is free and would work perfectly if cut down...

So we agree to come get the mirror with intentions for the bathroom I am really excited!! We get mirror, use blankets and bungee cords to secure it and head on our way. We use the main road in our town because we only would need to make 3 turns into our driveway.

The speed limit is 40, we r going 25 and there is no wind.

All the sudden, out of nowhere the bungee cord snaps, and a 10 foot mirror gets air and nearly kills the people in the car behind us.

I screamed like we were being held at gunpoint and immediately call the local police department.

The cop I spoke to laughed and said he would send a squad car.

During this 10 minute stint we backed up and wedged our car in front of the ENORMOUS amount of debris.

And I laugh hysterically while my husband directs traffic!!

Sooo funny!!!

Cop arrived and laughed. Ugh don't you love it when your plans "shatter" haha no pun intended!

We left as the hazardous waste unit arrived to clean up the one hundred million pieces of my supposed to be pretty mirror.

Oh well more adventures in DIY.

At least I have a funny story now huh?

So... if a normal mirror breaking is 7 years of bad luck does one that's 10 feet long constitue 77 years bad luck??

I sure hope not.
