Coincidence? I don't think so!



OK, so I have a confession to make that will confirm that when looking up the word “gullible” in the dictionary, you will find my picture there.

Someone sent an email around last week stating that Mars—The Red Planet—would be visible for a once in a lifetime viewing on August 27th. It was supposed to be the size of the moon and easily visible. So being the clever girl that I am, I thought, “Where better to witness this wondrous event but up in Canada at my mother’s beautiful house on a lake?”

Acting on my brilliant idea, I immediately booked a ticket for a long weekend north. (OK, I can hear the groans already—yes I finally was told that the email was a hoax—but the ticket was bought and I am going.)

Now here’s the cool part. Got a call last night from my mom that the mother of my godson is having a party thrown for her that weekend for her 60th birthday. Barbara is a very special friend who has known me since I was a very little girl and I am thrilled that it just so happens I will be home that weekend. See, I was meant to go! I just got mixed signals about why! Don’t you just love when things work out?

Maybe I should book a flight to NYC because pretty soon the sky will be falling. Together, from a bench in Central Park, we could watch the historic moment together. ;) *lmao*

This would be another test of my "hoax perception," wouldn't it? LOL!

Sassy, I think you're right--on both counts! Thanks! :)

Sassy: Nothing says romance like a piece of the sky falling on your head. It could be worse 'cuz it could be bird poop. hehe

Don't worry, Zanne, I'll protect you. I always carry an umbrella in my backpack.

Okay, I got all excited and looked up gullible expecting to see a picture of you and there was no picture!

I guess I'll just have to keep imagining that you actually look like Edna Mode... all three feet of you.

BF-uh, thanks. I feel sooo much safer now. I think. :P

T-woman you are killin' me--the whole 3 feet thing isn't so far off! Hey you saw the baby pictures, I look exactly the same! Except heavier, and older, and taller, and wrinkleyer--you get the drift! ;)

I completely fell for that Mars thing too. I was out there looking for Mars every bloody night. (Though I was told it would be in June.) At least I can spot some pretty fab constellations now! LBPx
