Pink Dolphin
Hi Everyone.
Did you see the pink dolphin that is all over the internet? If not here it is.
How totally cool is this? When I see this I believe in magic.
Maybe its a sign that something magical is about to happen to us humans.
I love pink. As I’m writing this I have on pink bra, shirt, jacket, and just took off my pink down vest. When I was younger I only wore pink. Went through a pink stage. Now I wear it when I can. It’s just such a happy colour and gives us faith and hope.
So let’s all pray for our pink dolphins popping up around and believe in some magic.
Here’s a link for it actually in the water.

Poor Daisy went in for Repair
Hi Everyone. What’s new with you all. The rain is dreary isn’t it?
My car is having a hard time. I had to take it to the car doctor. Actually now that I write this it was probably bad timing because Mercury is coming out of Retrograde. Oops. Oh well. I’ll draw a big Mercury Symbol on it to keep it nice and healthy.
They put the computer on it and all four pistons (??) were misfiring. Not sure what that means but it sounded expensive.
I can’t not have a car. I go everywhere. I didn’t want to drive myself so I woke Bobby out of his working nights sleep and he drove over with me. He followed me and Daisy made it to the shop.
He gave me his credit card and said get it totally fixed. Anything that needs done. Probably not something you want to say to a mechanic. It worked for me though.
I was starting to get a little freaked out because there is so much freedom with having a car. I love driving anywhere I want to go.
So I got her back while writing this and she is just fine. $350 fine but fine.
Oh I watched the movie last night Raquel Gets Married. OMG how tragic. I thought it was going to be a nice happy story. It wasn’t. It was good but it wasn’t something to make you feel good that’s for sure. I watched The Women too. That was so much fun. I loved it. Meg Ryan is so cute. I loved her in that one called French Kiss. Now that’s a happy movie.
Daisy is back!

Blessings to Everyone.
Good Morning Everyone. What a beautiful day.
Well the lottery didn’t come through but that’s ok. I still have a ticket for tonight. It was 505 instead of 555. Speaking of one number off my older boy picked 3 numbers out of 6 and was one number off each of the other 4 numbers for the 49 million. Oh my. That would have been fun. He has always been gifted with numbers. Loves the theory of odds and such. There is order in chaos.
My younger boy says to rely on the lottery is silly and it really shouldn’t even come up in conversation as your mind then assumes that the only way to move forward is by winning the lottery. I love to dream though and love to think about things like that. Dare to dream.
I was so excited when he turned 19 so I could bring him to the casino as I love the casino. He was disgusted. He said look around you have all these people doing the same thing and expecting different outcomes. He looked at me like I had two heads when I slipped a 20 in a machine. I think that was his first and last visit.
I love the casino. The noise the excitement. Ok there are a few lost people that probably shouldn’t be there. Once I saw a lady and she was hitting the dollar machine over and over and had pictures of her kids on the machine and stared at them in this odd trance like state. That kind of creeped me out a little. Also someone told me once that people wear diapers so they don’t have to leave a machine. I’m not sure if its true or not but that kind of made me want to barf a bit. All in all I love it. Probably shouldn’t but its fun.
So what is today going to bring.
Is anyone on Twitter? My name is psychiccottage if you are and want to visit. I can’t quite figure it out. I have all these followers but its hard to read anything. Maybe I’m too old. I hear Demi and Ashton made one million twitters. That’s fun. I tried to sign up with them but can’t quite figure it out.
Other than that nothing much is happening. Just deciding on whether its a clean the attic day or a “chillaxin” day. I guess I could do a little of both.

How so Very Serendipitous.
Hi Everyone.
I had to write. The strangest thing just happened.
I saw my lucky number 555 so I thought I’d run in and play $1.00. You never know.
When I got to my lucky store there were no Pick 3 sheets. That totally has never happened to me before. When I looked at the Pick 4 sheets the first one was already filled out. Well you know I had to play that one. Finally I got them to give me the Pick 3 sheet and for some reason it printed out two days even though I didn’t mark it as two days. She said she didn’t push anything either.
Hmmm. Is it Mercury in Retrograde going direct or is it the Universe. We’ll know tonight! I’ll keep you posted.
Quote for you:

Ya like if I didn’t have a dollar every time I heard that line! Ha! If psychics could predict the winning numbers there would be no such thing as a psychic only Intuitive Billionaires.
Nonetheless I’ll keep you posted. (I really want to buy a neon sign for my store with it. Not the psychic hand kind. I have laughed at them for too many years. A lovely one that says The Psychic Cottage – open/closed)
Take care my Friends and may you be touched by the magic of serendipity today.
Until we meet again, Sharon.

Happy Birthday to Michael.
Hello my Friends.
Today my son Michael celebrates his 20th birthday.
I’m so happy he chose me as his Mother. It has been my honour. Getting to know him as an adult these last few months has been his gift to me.
He asked me the other day why I picked the name Michael. It was strange but I knew the moment I was told I was pregnant with him that his name was Michael.
He has proven again and again the strength of my favourite Saints’ name.
God Bless you my Dear son. Now go out there and change the world.

Memories of Princess.
Hello Everyone. Another glorious day. I just remembered I have to get my snow tires off. There is going to be no tread left. That would be $500 gone quickly.
My son and I are together a lot now and we reminisce about old times.
The other day we were in the car and talking about all the houses we have lived in and our different pets etc. Then we started talking about Princess and laughing our heads off. Princess has been in spirit for a long time God love her. She was a beautiful caramel coloured Cocker Spaniel.
Princess wasn’t really our dog but the neighbour’s dog. Well yes these neighbours are close friends as we lived there for many many years. We share many a memory between our kids and animals. The kids are all friends to this day.
Princess for some reason loved to come in our house and poop right in the middle of our living room on the hard wood floor. As horrifying as it was funny I can only imagine how awful it was for our friends when we told them each time.
Princess didn’t get out much but if we had the door open it was a given. I’m exaggerating it only happened a few times but wait the story gets better.
After we moved away I guess the new neighbours left their door open and you guessed it, Princess ran in their house and pooped in the same place.
OMG can you imagine the horror on our friends’ faces? Our friends are such a lovely people and she embarrasses so easily so I can only imagine the trauma of it.
Things like that crack me up. You know someone up there has a little chess game in order to do these things. We couldn’t think of it if we tried. You almost know there is beer in heaven in order to think these things up.
Here’s another Princess story. Once when our friends were away they left the second storey window open for air in the bathroom and were gone the whole day. Princess (even in her old age) got on the toilet pushed the screen and jumped out the second storey window. Thank goodness she wasn’t hurt. She was running all over though and we noticed and brought her in. They were so surprised when they got home. She was such an adventurous dog. I wonder what she’s doing now.
So that’s it for today. God bless Princess and I hope everyone up there are keeping their front door closed.

He Did It!
Hello Dear Friends.
I have to tell you my husband came through and fixed the drain. The home depot visit was a success.
He went, he saw and he conquered.
I was so impressed I have to tell you.
The funniest part was while he was bending down under the cupboard he actually had a little bit of a “plumbers crack” showing. You know what I mean? I didn’t laugh hysterically out loud at the time because he was a little flustered but the whole time I was thinking “OMG this is such great blog material.”
So I guess I owe my husband a blog apology. I will try and hold off an hour or so before I judge in the future.
Although I have to tell you I’m wondering just a little about the “other” things he could be fixing throughout the house. I was thinking of a “Honey Do List” but then I remembered that he might want a Honey Do List from me too and that ain’t happening.
As I’m being kind to my better half I have to tell you that he joined the Running Room. He had on the brightest lime green shirt on that they gave him (I noticed no one else had one on) and his new running pants and special shoes. When I dropped him off I was thinking man your so brave. The only thing I would run for is maybe to grab the last piece of chocolate cake.
I was thinking was I ever brave like that. Walk into a crowd with a bright green shirt on to run miles. Maybe not. I do remember once though when I was young (when times were safer) walking into a Swiss Chalet and there being a line up and I said to this man “can I sit with you in your booth?”. Looking back that was probably the weirdest thing I ever did (well maybe) but we had a nice meal together. The guy probably thought my cake slipped off my plate.
Live and Learn I guess.
So that’s it I just wanted to keep you up to date on my drain dilemma. Yuck I guess that means dishes are back on.

The Magic of her Voice. Susan Boyle does it Again.
Hi Everyone.
Have you seen it yet? The new Susan Boyle song.
She looks so lovely and beautiful. I’m just so happy that God gave her this wonderful chance to share her voice with us.
God Bless you Susan. We all love you.

Not a Handy Bone in our Bodies.
Hello Everyone. How are you this glorious night.
Well I’m sure Mercury is getting ready to come out of Retrograde because driving is just crazy.
My son and I were on the highway and this guy just starts pulling towards us from the back. I’m like OMG. I do my usual energy thing but he keeps coming. My son yelled “Blow the Horn”. I guess it was on his side so he was really stressed. Thank goodness no one was beside me. I think he was actually quite corked or something because he was driving a bit strange. I stayed behind him. I have expected to see him in the ditch as we drove.
Onto my story.
So this morning I am doing dishes and my feet feel wet. I looked down and it was like I somehow spilled some coffee. I thought it strange and continued. Then it was unmistakable I didn’t spill this water something was happening. I looked under the sink and the whole piping that goes into the sink was about 2 inches down and the water was just pouring out. It somehow rotted away.
That is so hilarious. Bobby was none too pleased. I really don’t know why he bought a 120 year old house when he doesn’t have a handy bone in his body. When things break we make due. The bathtub plumbing goes we use the shower. I’m not sure what will happen if the shower breaks. Even though I was totally aware that putting water where there was no plumbing for some reason I kept putting water down the sink and then I had to wipe it all up shaking my head at how dumb that was. Talk about belief systems. Finally I dragged my son over to the dollar store and we picked up a plastic tub thing.
I’m not complaining as I was never really a house person myself. I don’t think we would be here even if it wasn’t for our 100 pound dogs. Somehow condo living doesn’t allow for that. They love to bark too. So for us after the dogs are gone its off to a condo and no more dogs. Although I would love a little yorkie named Abigail although I think I might have to wait until my next life. Although I could keep her in my purse.
We have accepted that I’m no Martha and my husband is no Tim the Toolman. Maybe this time we are going to have to call a plumber. I heard there are places you can call and all the repairmen are women. I like that idea. I think that would be fun.
So that’s it for today. I’m out for the night.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Monday.
