psychic power(less)

I get emails from this cute little boutique near my house and I have known the owner for a few years now.  In one of the emails there was a promotion for psychic readings at the boutique.  I was intrigued.  

I emailed back and asked the owner if she had ever been to a psychic and what she thought.  I had no intentions of actually getting "read", just curious about the whole process.  I feel the same way about skydiving and sticking a fork in the light socket.  The owner emailed back, gave me a brief description of when she had been "read" and asked if I wanted to come in.  I told her that as interesting as it sounds, I have spent all my fun money (for the next few years) on fertility.

So she offered to pay for it and I went.

It was interesting to say the least.  I walked in, introduced myself and she immediately commented on how I was named after a famous actress....actually, I am older than this actresses public career, so no.  I was given many general statements, some of which you can read on fortune cookies, which happen to be my favorite forms of advice.  Apparently I had many lives in Rome, where I was a hand maiden.  I also need to stop being the bread winner for my family, which I agreed to and when I start to become it I will promptly stop.  She also asked "what is in Texas?"  I responded "the alamo?" as I have no other connections to Texas.  She also told me my grandmother is with me in the car and enjoyed baking with me as a child and was proud of how she raised my mother.  Grandma didn't bake, didn't actually raise my mom and sure as hell didn't allow anyone to call her "grandma."

I have learned that I will apparently be moving East in the next two years, even though my husband and I talk about North and will be having a boy.  

Needless to say, I didn't find it insightful, but I did find it nice to get out of the house on a rainy day.  Besides, next door to the boutique is my favorite alterations place and I have pants that needed to be hemmed.
