Good Evening Everyone. How are you tonight?

Welcome to The Psychic Cottage blog.

Tonight I went to the bank and there was a person dressed as a chicken and he/she had a sign to bring in customers. All the while waving to passing cars.

I’m not weirded out by the person in the costume as everyone has to make a living and if it pays the bills why not but it got me to thinking.

Why do we as a society need a chicken pointing us where to eat? Are we that weird?

Let’s say we are driving and we see the waving chicken does it make you want to eat at a certain restaurant?

I guess its the same as the clown for Micky D’s or anything else but it just for an instant gave me one of those moments of where are we in our evolution that this has to happen?

I can see the clown to get the kids. Ok I kind of get that but this was somewhat disturbing.

Nonetheless I turned in and got some chicken. Ha Ha just kidding. I didn’t.

Howdy Everyone. What’s cookin?

I went to the gym tonight and took Belly Dancing. I’ve always wanted to learn. I’ve realized I’m not that co-ordinated though.

I think I got one move. I’m not sure what’s more disturbing that I can’t follow or looking at myself in the mirrors everywhere not following.

I’m still trying to figure out how they shimmy like that?

Long time ago I was told that I had a few lifetimes as a Belly Dancer. One lifetime that’s all I did and I was quite good at it.

I’m going to try and talk to that part of me that did it because my shimmying isn’t working.

It is quite fun though and the idea that there are coins making all this cluttery noise is kind of a feeling of abundance and wealth.

I’ll go next time and hopefully it gets easier. I hope its the same routine though because I don’t know if I can learn another routine so fast.

It didn’t help that I was the only one in the middle of the class that my little coin skirt fell off. That was a little embarrasing. No one said anything but if it were me and it happened to someone else I might have snickered inside. I admit it.

Bobby and I went swimming at the gym this morning. Do you know we have never been swimming together even though we have been together for so many years. We were like little kids. I didn’t have a good experience on the slide. I don’t think it was open and there was no water so I had to waddle down it like a duck. Quack. I’m glad we were alone in the pool. Well if someone was looking at us through the windows I couldn’t see anyway because I took off my glasses.

So that’s my first day at the gym. Stay tuned for more exciting adventures. I know that the fitness test on Thursday is going to be good blog material.

Hi Everyone.

Just one more runny nose story.

Frustrated with my nose and for fear of getting a giant red nose especially when I’m in a television show this week I looked on the internet for ways to get rid of it without drugs.

Bingo I found this.

I did it once and my nose stopped running. I can’t believe it.

I’m saving it and doing it again in a few minutes.

The funny part is I don’t think I really even did it right. My nose just stopped.

I wonder where its going instead? Oh well. I’ll think about that later.

Hi Everyone. How are you this strange day?

I woke up with the sniffles and I can’t seem to control this runny nose. I even tried my Netti Pot and it didn’t work. Who knows what’s up with my nose. I can’t wait for Bobby to go to work because I’m stickin’ two Kleenexes up my nose and walking around. If no one can see me is it that bad? If only it were liquid gold!

So yesterday Bobby and I took a big stand. We joined a gym. I really can’t believe it. My experience is and I believe Bobby’s too is we join a gym pay the money and make excuses why we can’t go.

This time is different though. We joined a nice gym with a pool and a sauna and lots of classes. They even have belly dancing.

We went today and I had a sauna hoping to turn off the tap called a nose but it didn’t work. I have a fitness test next week. That should be amusing.

The extra neet part is that they have cable. We don’t have cable at home. The one we had called Look went under and we could never decide what to get then when you don’t pay the $100 a month for a while it kind of gets easier just not to watch television. We were never big television people anyway. I find it somewhat addicting. I’m figuring out when my shows are on and I’m going to exercise when they are on. Double perk. Fringe here I come.

It started because we are going to a wedding and I got this lovely dress but said my arms were droopy and I wished I could do something about them and Bobby wanted to go swimming. So somehow we ended up at the gym. You know once you are in that room they got you. I said to Bobby ok no matter what they say we are not signing up today we are waiting until tomorrow so we can talk about it. We signed that day.

That’s ok by the time we figure out what it was costing us for doing classes and going swimming it was the same amount.

So that’s all the adventures at the moment.

Hello Everyone. Good Evening.

Today is my brother Alan’s birthday.

You have read about Alan on my blog before. My stories are usually about him trying to make me more main stream and finally surrendering and giving up and letting me be my crazy self.

He’s a great Brother and I love him lots.

He has a lot to be proud of. He’s a wonderful husband, a great brother, a fantastic Dad, a totally cool grandfather, the list goes on and on and on.

So Happy Birthday Alan may this year coming be the best one yet. Thank you for being you.

Hello Dear Friends. I hope this day brings you joy.

I was reading on the net this morning about the sweetest lady (pardon the pun) who does bike rides and along the way goes into bakeries and tests cupcakes. It’s for women only. Here’s the article.

I think its a great idea. I love bike riding and I love cupcakes! My favorite cupcakes in the whole world are at Hanks Bakery in Port Perry. Oh ya. They are like the kind you used to get when you were young. Sweet sweet sweet.

My favorite one is pink icing. Oh now I want one.

I have an old fashioned bike, red. Bobby got it for me one summer for my birthday. It’s beautiful. I put a lttle wicker basket on it.  I was driving it all around until one ignorant guy said “don’t pop a tire”. I was horrified (the Big O sometimes isn’t the classiest of all places) and never went on it again. Apparently sitting on the porch drinking and shouting at a nice lady on a bicycle is a better past time, meow!

This lovely cupcake lady also does websites and illustrations that are so cute. Happy D Designs.

Some people are just so damn adorable eh?

Hyedie thank you for being you.

Good Morning Everyone. Welcome.

I had the weirdest dream just before waking.

I remember being somewhere and we only had one flying machine and who shows up but Tim Allen with more machines.

My older boy, younger boy, ex husband, current husband, some girl I don`t know and my Landlord for the Shop Jenny and her partner oh yes Tim Allen all take off in these lawn mower type machines. I wasn`t anticipating that they flew.

I remember holding onto the little handle on top and I remember when it went off the building and felt like it was plummetting to the ground but then started to fly it was an unbelievable feeling. I remember saying to Bobby I love this part.

We were high up in the sky and I remember seeing an arrow that was a cloud. When we got close a friend of mine Heather was walking in the air and we chatted a bit. She said we were close.  I said to Peter (my son) why doesn`t she need a machine to go on.

In the dream we were picking up presents for everyone (I mean everyone) for Christmas which was fine but when we got there we had to explain why we deserve to pick up the presents. I was helping everyone find their good points so they could be part of the crew for picking up the presents for everyone. (You would think that would be enough that we wanted to fly all over the universe for others but they seemed to need this.)

Then the phone rang and I left this dream. Too bad I wanted to fly back.

I have to tell you I haven`t had a flying dream in so long. I guess I was just waiting for my flying machine.

I know what you are thinking. She sure had a bender last night but I don`t drink or do drugs. Who knows what my imagination is up to  however.  Especially when I`m asleep.

Interpretations are welcome.

Welcome to The TPC Blog. I’m so happy you could come.

Today is my younger boy’s birthday. He is 21 today.

I love both my Sons. They teach me so much in life and I’m honoured that they picked me to be their Mom.

I’m sure there are days (years?)  when they wish they had a Mrs. Cleaver Mom instead of a crazy psychic Mom but I know there is a plan for all of us to be in this lifetime together.

I’m forever grateful that my two Sons are best friends and have each others back. I don’t know what I would do if they didn’t get along.

Both my boys have many gifts and a day doesn’t go by when I don’t acknowledge how blessed I am to have them in my life.

When I was pregnant with Michael I never doubted what his name would be. I’m not sure where it came from but I knew he was to be Michael.

I know now why he suits his name. St. Michael was a warrior as is my younger boy. There is no fear in him. He walks through life and comes out the other side more determined as each event unfolds. I was not surprised when he showed up with a tattoo of St. Michael down his whole arm.

He’s been through more in his 21 years then most people go through in a lifetime if ever. He appreciates each minute of each day as a result.

Michael is forever correcting me when I say something negative. He lives life to the fullest and very much lives in the present.

He has a deep true sense of God within him. There is no doubt ever about where we came from and what is to be accomplished in this lifetime. He tells it like it is.

I’ve never seen anyone manifest the way he can. When he was young he would laugh if I put some kind of negative words into something he wanted trying to soften the blow of something not coming his way. He would just laugh and say you know I can do this. He has carried this with him all his life.

His first words when moving into a new house were “where is the wish wall (vision board) going”.

I would love to say that he has this sense of God within from who I am but I really cannot say this. I believe it came with him when entering this lifetime.

He came through to teach me and for sure to blaze the way for others. This I know for sure.

So dear Michael Happy Birthday. I’m so proud to be your Mom. God Bless you and thank you for being you.

Dear Blog Friends. So glad you could come and visit.

Is it hot enough for you? Holy Cow its like a million degrees out here in Ontario. I wouldn’t have noticed really but I went to Visit my wonderful Dr. Angelface this morning and Daisy doesn’t have air and only one window works.  I was ok when I was buzzing along but when traffic hit it was suffocating.

Life is really really great though. If that is one’s only problem in life I’m thinking  my life is a breeze.

Bobby and I went to the flea market they have at Canadian Tire on holidays like we always do and I saw a boomerang for sale. I didn’t buy it but I got to thinking about how cool a boomerang really is and what a great metaphor it is for life and energy and of course our thoughts. Not only that but it is such a fun word to say. It almost tickles.

We throw out energy (good or bad) and it comes back to us. It is one of the Universal Laws. It’s that simple.

I receive daily a wonderful affirmation from Anne Marie Evers. In one of her recent daily affirmations  she said to greet each day with a wonderful affirmation. Throw your arms up and do it.

I’ve been doing it daily and whenever I get the urge really and I feel so good. I can’t wipe the smile off my face. People are wondering what I’m up to. Just in case you see me with my arms in the air smiling and looking up to the sky and going around in a circle don’t call the authorities its just me doing my thing.

I’m sure its a combination of several wonderful things happening in my life but it sure feels good to act silly and light. It just doesn’t get any better than that.

Be Happy and Silly Dear Friends. Thank you Anne Marie Evers for being you!

Greetings Dear Friends. Welcome.

As you know I received a frother from my dear husband. You can read about it here.

I was so upset because I went to use it the other day and it wouldn’t work. I was so sad. I had really perfected the chai latte and it was our little ritual to have them at night together.

This little gadget is the coolest invention ever.

I called the store we bought it from and we of course need a bill (hello?) so I thought we were a little sh*t out of luck but they said to call Keurig.

I called them with not much hope thinking that without a bill I’m not going to get very far and you won’t believe the service I got.

They sent me out a new one the same day I talked to them. Can you believe it?

I just now received an email indicating that its on its way and the tracking order for UPS.

Customer service. That’s where its at for sure.

Thank you Keurig. You have brought so much ease and happiness into our lives between the coffee machine and the frother our family doesn’t have any need to go to the coffee house!
