Paulsen's Law

You are all familiar with Murphy's Law, which is that "if anything can go wrong, it will". Danyael and I have decided that we are ruled by Paulsen's Law, which is this - "Murphy's Law always applies to the Paulsens".

We always arrive at the store right after they sold the last item of whatever it is we wanted, or when the truck to ship it out is broken. If there is one package in the store with a missing piece, we will pick it. Tickets for the show or the flight or the whatever go on sale the week after we go. We buy something good, and a coupon for it arrives the next day. If we lose something, and wait 4 years to replace it, we will find the missing item the week after we break down and pay for the replacement. Things break right after the warrantee expires. We only get sick on holiday weekends, when the doctors are not available and the pharmacies are closed, and its a holiday weekend. In retrospect, its a miracle it didn't rain on our wedding day.

It happens over and over again, and it never ends.

Mostly we find it funny.
