I have a little secret to share with all of you.

I am a little embarrassed to admit this, but I am kind of a superstitious person.  For example, if I have a choice of picking from several objects of different colors, I will ALWAYS pick the green color. I like to think it brings me good luck.  From time to time I will make myself pick a different color just to prove to myself that I can, but I don't like the feel of doing that.  I really feel that my birthday numbers bring me good luck and I will always use those numbers when numbers are called for.  I have always been drawn to mysteries and conspiracy theories.  I believe in the Big Foot and my dream vacation is to be able to tour area 51.  Now that you all know this, what I am about to tell you may make a little more sense or you will just roll your eyes while reading this post. 

A few days ago our family was on the deck when a Magpie came up and landed on our railing.  It scared me to death because it was just staring at us and those birds give me the heebie jeebies.  I of course saved myself and ran inside shuting the screen door behind me, letting my children and husband fend for themselves.  The strangest thing happend after I ran inside - it wouldn't leave.  It didn't seem scared of us even with my boys trying to grab at it.  Then it decided to come down onto our deck following our boys around - so weird!  Okay, so this is where my superstitious ways come into play.  If you have a lone magpie come to you, it means sorrow is near. The reason that is inside me tells me this is cookoo to believe this, but I just can't help it.  Let's hope I am wrong!
