Some really, super strange coincidences have occurred in my life over these past 3 days.
Allow me to explain.
My mother showed me an article in the newspaper about a girl, who is the daughter of two people my dad used to work with. A family I have heard about a lot in my life. The girl was also very keen of my older brother when he was her camp counselor many years ago. I knew of this girl and her family, but hadn't thought of them in probably like 10 years.
THEN, the next day, my babysitting mother told me she went out to dinner with a friend of hers, and her husband, who was there, knows my dad- TURNS OUT, it's the dad of the girl in the article, who used to work with my dad for many years. He has a new wife now. But, whoa, talk about RANDOM. Two random incidences of hearing of this family again in 24 hours.
THEN, that same day she told me about going to dinner with them, I took my babysitting children to this little kids sports activity place for a class. The woman who worked there asked me if I was related to my sister, Maria, b/c, turns out, they both worked together at that same camp that my brother worked at with the girl in the article as a camper. I mean, WHOA. What a series of bizarre connections of people I haven't heard of in YEARS! All weirdly connected to so many degrees.
Also, my babysitting families this fall have been referring to me as "Annie The Nanny". Weirdly enough, although its an obvious rhyme, I have never heard nor thought of this title before. And NOW, as I sit and watch "True Blood", one of the characters, Andy Bellefleur in stuck in a walk-in-refrigerator with Sam, and tries to cheer him up by telling him a story and says "When I was a kid, I had a nanny. Her name was Annie. Annie the nanny." WHAAAAT!!!!!???
What impeccable and strange timing for this episode to come into my life.
Anyways, this is just some random thoughts, as my world gets smaller and smaller, and even though I KNOW it's a small world and everyone someone knows each other in some way, it never ceases to blow my mind when stuff like this happens.
I probably know my husband already but don't even know we are going to get married. I'll just allow for some strange small world bizarre life connection to take place to spiral it all into action.
You KNOW you know your husband. I know I don't know my husband.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I handmade cards with crayon for Melanie and Matt's birthday the other afternoon as I watched the Cooking Channel. RIGHT AFTER I FINISHED, the woman cooking, Laura Calder, put her dish in the oven and said
" While that is in the oven I am going to handmake a birthday card for my friend. It is so much nicer that way, don't you think?"
She then proceeded to take out colored pencils and make a card just like the one I made.
WORLD IS A VERY SPIDERWEBBY PLACE
