Have you ever had a premonition about something that came true? 
Submitted by Sheri.

Ever since I was a kid, mostly through dreams and most of the time it's been dismissed as deja vu by others. But I know the difference between similar situation versus word for word, scene for scene I've been through this before type of stuff. It's always surreal when it happens and when it does I have to remind myself to take a step back to look at the bigger picture. It happens for a reason, and not too often, so it's important for me to notice what's taking place so I can get the message. Because there's always a message.

What would you do with your extra time off next time you are in-between jobs?

Well, since this might come sooner than I'd like (more on that in another post) I've actually given this some thought... serious thought. Especially since the potential lack of a job isn't by my choice I've had to sit down and consider what I would do if there was some significant off time.

So catching up on my writing is definitely priority number one. And number two is working on my sites... getting everything up and running and what not. Doing some fine tuning so when the 9 to 5 is back on the table the foundation for what I want to do for myself will already be there. I let myself get too comfortable at my current job and let my dreams fall to the side. With this reality check it's time for me to pick those dreams back up, dust them off and see where they will take me.

What old wives’ tale have you discovered to be totally untrue?

The only one I can think of... I'm sure there are plenty more but the first one that comes to mind for me is one I was told when I was pregnant with the first incarnation of mini-me... the girl version. I had the wickedest heartburn ever with that child. Started when I was around 4 to 5 months along with her. Everyone kept telling me that since my heartburn was so bad she'd have a ton of hair.

She has a ton of hair. Was born with a head full of hair and still has a head full of hair that I'm dying to cut. But the second incarnation of mini-me - the boy version was a different story. Wickedest heartburn ever... yes. Head full of hair... no. He didn't inherit my hair genes unfortunately, that was one trait he got from his father. And I was pissed cause I went through all of that heartburn and I don't know how many bottles of tums for nothing.  Mini-me 2.0b barely had hair and was excessively wrinkled. I was quite disappointed. He looked like an old man when he was born. Which is funny now cause at almost 7 he seriously acts like an old man at times. Some days I'm glad I kept him. Some days...

Don't believe the hype. Excessive heartburn during pregnancy does not equal newborn with a head full of hair.
