My Lucky UK Shirt

Most people don’t believe in miracles until they happen. Well, today a miracle happened and made me a believer. I am now confident that UK is indeed going to win a national championship, and I am a big part of that victory. 

Let me explain why.

This morning I put on my lucky UK Game Day shirt. Before I go any further, let’s be honest here:

Everybody thinks they have a lucky shirt, hat, penny, etc. 

I realized as I put it on this morning that UK’s play probably didn’t ride on my outfit – although, just in case, I was still going to wear it.

That was before the following scenario happened… 

It all started when I was eating my Taco Bell breakfast taco in the car on the way to work (yes, I’m classy). I decided it needed a little salsa. As I attempted to dab some on the taco, I squeezed a little too hard. All of the sudden, the salsa sprayed up in the air and all over my car, hair, and the worst- my lucky UK shirt (please make the scary “dum, dum, dum” sound here).

 Tears filled my eyes. I still had an hour drive to my destination and I had no time to stop and try to clean up. For the record, this is a very cute white and blue chevron shirt and the RED salsa was all over the white areas.

There was no hope.

 As I got out of the car to walk inside the office, though, I looked down and a miracle had occurred…

The salsa marks were completely gone!

Seriously. 

No stains.

 I sit writing this blog, and the shirt is perfect.

 This doesn’t just mean I look amazing today…it means miracles do happen. And it means my shirt is indeed LUCKY. 

Ladies and gentlemen, tonight five freshmen are going to lead UK to claim a national championship thanks to my amazing, lucky, adorable UK game-day shirt. Don't grow faint if there is some temporary adversity (the salsa), it will soon fade into nothing but a memory.

 I’ll be distributing free autographs after the game.



Except to you, Ellen.
