Woo woo is not new new to me

It's an old friend . . . practically a sister

As I've mentioned before, my family chats with the dead so it's no surprise that the world of woo-woo is something I'm quite comfortable with. I have a friend who read my Tarot cards pretty regularly and I have been known to consult Runes in moments of deep crisis when a decision must be made.

Still, every now and again, my oldest sister who is the one with the largest amount of woo woo in her (she's also a scientist, go figure) still occasionally surprises me. She has been known to call and answer a question that I haven't asked her, but may have just asked the person who's actually in the room with me. We often speak in unison with her voicing my thoughts as I form them.

I'm a big fan of the TV show Medium. Love that psychic soccer mom. So I was thrilled to get the book written by the real Allison DuBois on whom the show is based, Don't Kiss Them Good-bye, as a gift last winter. A big focus in the book is how to recognize if your child is psychic and help them. I felt like I was reading about my sister.

Then I made my sister read it, too. Funny thing. She wasn't surprised.

This blog was brought to you by The Fortune Quilt, Lani's novel about family, psychics and quilts... and what happens when they all collide at once.

You know, Eileen, sometimes when I call my Mum she'll say, "I was just thinking about calling you." And vice versa, when she calls me :-) Spooky stuff!

I don't speak to my mom much, we just sorta forget to stay in touch. I was really sick last month and ended up going to urgent care on a Sunday. And who should call while I was sitting there but my mother. She said she had a feeling something was wrong.

Though perhaps that just falls under the whole Mom thing.

I also have a little weird thing with my oldest son. I can't count the times I've started walking down to the park to check on him just to find him walking up our driveway because he felt like it was time to check in. Or had him call just as I was starting to fret about where he was. On the other hand, with Thing Two, I seem to have a knack of saying, "Stop that before you get hurt" just as he falls off the swing/crashes into the pole/trips and falls. I don't seem to be able to get the warning out before it actually happens.

My grandmother does that to me. I'll be thinking of, for example, my car payment, and she'll ask, "Did you send in your car payment?" She does this to me several times a month and it kinda freaks me out. I feel like the woman gives me NO PRIVACY WHATSOEVER!

Please tell me you're currently writing a woo-woo book. I'd love to read it :)

Odin's Rune has helped me make decisions several times over the years. You kow, you just pull one rune for the answer instead of doing an entire reading.

At work, sometimes we will notice that we haven't seen a particular passenger for awhile--usually not one of the ones we are fond of--and we have found that if someone brings it up, as in "Hey, I haven't seen So-And-So lately" that we are assured the person will show up. Never fails. So now I am afraid to say anything!! LOL!

My favorite "incident" of what I call Ju Ju (same as woo woo) is playing hide and seek at a park with my son when we first moved to our town. I couldn't find him anywhere! I relaxed, closed my eyes and actually could see from his point of view looking at me from behind a tree. I walked to the first tree I saw and there he was behind it. Oooooo! I love it when those things happen. I think you're past due for a reading by the way.

Had to share this, because frankly it freaked me out a little.

Last night, while I was fixing dinner, I noticed that the Pantry Pest trap I had taped to the wall near the cupboards was gone. I was a little annoyed, since I thought my husband must have taken it down and hadn't put a new one up, but then I remembered checking it when I got home from work--AFTER he had left. so then I started looking through the house, in case it had fallen off the wall and one of the dogs had grabbed it. Nothing. Hmmm. Checked the garbage can--I mean, maybe I hadn't seen it and I had looked at it the day before. Nothing. I was stumped.

So I went back into the kitchen and while I stood at the stove I casually glanced up--and froze. THE TRAP WAS THERE. RIGHT THERE. Right where it was supposed to be. I swear to you it wasn't there when I was looking for it.

Damn that little poltergeist/ghost thingy. He found me again. All this talk about ghosts and whatnot and I have been reading the In The Garden trilogy (Nora)which is about a ghost.... Be careful what you talk about--you may get a manifestation of your own! Bwahhahahahaha.....

Sheri,

VERY woo woo! You just wonder why whatever it was needed the Pantry Pest Trap . . .
