Two Readings and a Funeral

Well, I fell off the radar about eight days ago (not that anyone would notice, as infrequently as I update this blog...)due to a death in my family. Anyway, I finally got home tonight, and I'm pretty well exhausted. I'd rather not go into any real detail out of respect, but let me assure you all that the events of the last week were prime HBO mini-series material. I was almost killed several times in roller coaster car rides, I broke into a house, my mother and I had to leave the wake for emergency major appliance shopping, I inadvertently made the funeral oh-so melodramatic (oh, it was SUCH a Hollywood moment!), my cousin announced that he and his wife are pregnant with twins at the post-funeral dinner, I was invited to go street racing and regrettably didn't, and I had several EXTREMELY coincidental (and creepy!) encounters at random restaurants. And so, so much more. I can't write down all of the insanity of last week- there aren't words.

Anyway, Karen capped my trip appropriately by treating me to an astrological reading as a belated birthday present. I must say that I was very impressed. We both had a reading done, and I was expecting them to be similar and vague. That was not the case at all. I'm normally quite the skeptic, but I'm a little convinced- the details about my past were eerily correct. The good news is that according to my chart, I'm supposed to meet a handsome, strong-willed (doctor?) around Valentine's Day next year, marry him in 2008, and then become extremely successful in my career (when my work gets noticed) in about five years. And oh yeah, by the way, and I'm going to be a millionaire. ...So according to some calculations, I'm going to marry my own personal Jack Shepherd AND I get to be a millionaire? Yeah, I'm suddenly more inclined to believe! :)

And now I'm going to sleep for three full days.
