So much has happened in the last few days that I'm kind of in shock.

Coming back from Vegas to deal with the whole Dave drama thing has blown me out of the water. Work is the craziest it's been in almost a year. This weekend is packed with the Renaissance Festival with Mark and the State Fair with Tom. I'm supposed to be at another bachlorette on Saturday but I'm already booked. I look around at my house that needs so much work and organization that I don't even know where to begin. I have so many thoughts in my head.....

I met someone last night. A complete stranger. We had a drink at the bar and we got to talking. Turns out he is in a band and has played guitar for many years. I let him know (almost reluctantly due to the reaction I've gotten in the past) that I play the accordion. He says I'm probably the most marketable musician out there right now because of how original the instrument is and the amount of talent that I have that comes with it. (I've played almost 20 years) I thought this guy was kidding. I mean, usually people just laugh at me - but this guy? He was so excited he wants to play with me and help me get into a band. It was great to hear. Honestly, even if this guy was just all talk, it warmed my heart and was exactly what I needed to hear. Funny how things happen for a reason sometime.

I don't know if any of you know this but I had a psychic reading done at the Renaissance Festival by LaJeanne. She is the lady I take appointments for when I work there on the weekends. I was very skeptical going in. I mean, really, who is truly all knowing? Well, other than THE BIG GIANT HEAD from 3rd Rock, I can't think of anyone.

She started the reading assuming that Mark and I were a couple. I asked about my relationship and she responds, "You mean about Mark?"

I'm like, "No, I mean about Dave."

Puzzled she asks, "Oh, so Mark and you...."

I interrupt, "...are just friends." -- kind of why we introduced ourselves that way..... DUH!?!

She replies, "So you have a boyfriend? A significant other?"

A little peeved and really skeptical now, I respond, "Yes, his name is Dave....."

Soooo, she starts her reading and I ask a few questions that I want to know. She tells me some information about Dave that was truly intriguing. After experiencing what I have this past week with him, LaJeanne was pretty accurate. She also mentioned that the last 4 years I have been setting boundaries for myself and doing more things for me than I have ever done before. <---**True** She mentioned that I was an artist and a gifted painter and needed to start selling my work. <----**True** She also told me that I have a gift of knowing things. A psychic ability if you will......interesting.

I have known about this ability since I was a girl but haven't really paid much attention to it until these last few years. She told me that I need to pay very close attention to it and start learning how to use it. I wasn't surprised about being told this but what I am surprised about is that she knew that I didn't listen to it -- didn't trust it. I just never listened to myself.....

Sometimes, I could even tell people exactly what they were doing and thinking at times when I'm not with them. ....but I NEVER LISTEN!! I am frustrated and a bit upset with myself. I mean, trusting other people is one thing but trusting yourself should be old hat ya know? .

UGGGGHHHHH!!!


Maybe the reason I don't listen is because I just don't want to be right. I mean, why are people so afraid to be themselves instead of pretending to be something they are not? People gossip, lie and cheat and call themselves good people. I see these people and wonder how they live with themselves. What is it about those qualities do they like? I assume it's to make them look better in the eyes of others. It's part of their own insecurities.....

I know there has to be someone out there that knows the meaning of truth. I've been searching for so long to find someone I can rely on to be there - that someone to put my faith in. You keep eluding me.

Please, find me because I'm done looking for you.......
