When I was catching up on the news online this morning I found this story.  Watch the video.  The clip is about an elderly woman who’s husband bought a lotto ticket early November 1st, then died later on in the day of a heart attack.  Since she was grieving the loss of her husband, she never bothered to check the ticket until now and it turned out that was the jackpot winning numbers for her state.  I want you to watch it so you can find out how much she won.  I didn’t want to spoil it for you.

Wasn’t that crazy?  Ironic is a better word. 

After I watched that story I was immediately reminded of Alanis Morrisette’s song, Isn’t It Ironic.  What’s even more ironic is that ALL morning I have been trying to remember all the lyrics to the song because I knew there was a part in there about someone hitting the lotto.  For 3 hours I tried to figure it out instead of just looking it up on the internet.  (Hey I went to college in 1995…Alanis was all we listened to then so I knew some of the words.) 

Anyhoo, I kept trying to remember but couldn’t so I gave up thinking if I don’t think about it, it will come to me.  I dropped Aryanna off at school.  On my way home as I pulled into my subdivision I put the easy listening station on. Guess what song came on????  The very song I was trying to remember the lyrics to. 

I can’t help it but, isn’t it ironic?
