Just a bit of fun...

Trudy invited me to a "flower party" on Friday night. Firstly I thought it was an updated version of Tupperware, but instead of getting excited over the latest must have plastic item, we would be picking out flowers. Wrong.

A flower party has all the same elements that make women all over the world gather and be sold stuff though. There is a bunch of girls all seated in a semi-circle drinking and eating, the only difference is instead of listening to a spiel on how necessary a $70 salad spinner is (umm who would actually pay this for a salad spinner....Trudy????), we sit around and get an insight into our past and a glimpse at our future.

Yes a flower party is a very clever idea. We all take along a flower and place it into a vase. A psychic comes, picks out a flower and proceeds to tell us stuff.

I had gotten Grace to pick a flower for me. I thought that by her doing it would give my flower good vibes, she picks me one everyday. It's always a weed though, but I accept it graciously and place it in my hair. However knowing that this flower was going to be "read" I steered her towards a beautiful red hibiscus flower.

Trudy and Lauren took notes for everyone, so here is what is going on in my 'psychic' world! I'll refer to the psychic as "J"

• J said that someone was around wanting to say hello, she was very close to me and connected to my mother. She said that I had her ring. (I was wearing my grandmothers ring at the time, but she is still alive) J suggested that it may be my great-grandmother and that she protects me.


• J said that I worried about finances and not to worry as things will be ok.


• J said that I often had tummy pains, similar to period pain (I actually had been having bad pains all day), and that it was necessary to sort it out. She said that it could be a cyst, and when I am older I may have to have a hysterectomy. It wont get better until I do this (This scared me a little......but my Mum also had to have a hysterectomy young, so maybe possible)


• J said that I already have a daughter and that I will have another daughter. Its when my second daughter is 12-18 months old that I would have the hysterectomy.


• J asked if I had come from a farm or been to a farm. She said that I should be on a farm, that is my life path. I need animals around me.


• I am a spiritual and sensitive person, often experiencing deja vu


• we will be looking to buy acreage in Feb next year, not too far from where we are now.


• My husband will be in his element and he will want a tractor (I asked Duane later if he had any desire for a tractor and he said Yes, he would love one!)


• My health is good, except for tummy pains


• I have a son who will have trouble with asthma and may get eczema. He is a worrier and stresses.


• My daughter is a princess, likes to twirl around and dance. She wants lessons and will pester me for them. Something to do with the letter V, if there is a choice on places to go , choose the one with v in the name.


• I'll be pregnant around October next year and the baby will be a girl


• My work is not important to me, I don't want to be there and I don't have to yet.


• Something about studying at home and doing bookwork for extra money


• 5-6 years for midwife study

So there you have it, that is my future according to one psychic. I normally am ok with hearing stuff and just laughing it off as a bit of fun, but the hysterectomy thing has been playing on my mind a bit. It would be devastating for me. I know the bonus would be no periods, but I have really become ok with my reproductive cycle. It fascinates me now. Also I remember the ups and downs Mum went through when she had her hysterectomy, and the fact that it is surgery. That just scares the beejeevers out of me. I think I'll just take the thought of moving to a farm and change my path so it doesn't include the robbing of my female organs, thanks.

Oh and to top it all off, my 2 best friends won't be around to console me through all this. Trudy's mother-in-law is apparently moving from Canada, so Trude will be spending all her spare time either in counselling or rocking in the corner. Then Nicole is supposed to be going to Dubai to live for 2 years. Just great hey! Let's hope this women is a nutter and just conned us out of our money, I don't think I could handle having my best friend so far away, and Xav would miss his bestie Logan too.

Anyway, it's all just for fun and our amusement. I'll update if any of it comes to fruition.
