In the magical land of New Jersey
So I have a friend who is VERY into psychics. I used to be, back in high school, but have become a skeptic. My friend insists this one woman is super accurate and can tell you your future. Ok, I'm game for mostly anything, so I gave it a try.
What this psychic told me ( for $60) is that she hears the song "Running On Empty" when she looks at my life. That I'm extremely dissatisfied in my career and marriage, and the ONLY thing that can save it is a trip to New Jersey. Yes, Jersey. I must take an emergency vacation to New Jersey with my DH to "fill up my love tank". I had to try so hard not to laugh in this woman's face. I'm from NYC, and New Jersey to me, is just NOT where it's at!! I'm sorry if I'm offending any New Jerseyers. It's not that I hate your state, but if I needed an "emergency vacation to save my marriage", I would pick a place a bit more exotic!! lol. And no, I don't feel like there's any such terrible problem in my marriage thankyouverymuch.
I just thought I would share. It's been cracking me up all day. Also...who isn't somewhat "dissatisfied" in their life? I mean, her reading was so vague, I was just mad that I spent that money on the reading. Have any of you ever had MIND BLOWING readings from psychics?? I'd love to hear about it!

These are the people who are security guards (they'd come around to do rounds to make sure we were okay) and the cleaning people who came in to wash and polish the floors.
One of the cleaning ladies told me I'd meet a guy with black hair, blue eyes and a little boy. She said that's who I would marry.
Turns out my xH had black hair blue eyes and a tiny little nephew.;)
I had an aunt who told fortunes with cards. She told my mother (who was a widow) that she'd date a guy and gave the description. Turns out the card reading was spot on.
And we're all psychic to various extents. I'm a firm believer in gut feelings, going with what your heart wants you to do and "third eye" dreams -- these are dreams that usually foretell something that's going to happen in the future.
I dunno about the trip to New Jersey --- you and your H can take a trip to one of the shore points, or Atlantic City or maybe one of the scenic spots -- there are many in all areas of the state -- and see what flies in the window.:)
I have yet to see one spray tan in New Jersey and I've yet to see big hair.
I truly WANT to believe in this stuff. I really do. I mean, it's fun, and the idea of learning about the future, or past lives, is so interesting. But I have had the worst luck with these readings...not that they are telling me bad things, just that they are totally off their game! 2 more examples of my readings gone wrong:
In New Orleans, I got an "African Bone Reading", which was basically a guy holding KFC greasy chicken bones in a black velvet bag, that I had to shake around, and dump out. He moved them around and told me "I'm a spiritual child" and some other mumbo jumbo that didn't even make sense! lol.
Then I got an "Mayan Calendar Reading" that no joke told me I had killed children in a past life, so I now fear intimacy and children. I was so baffled, that I later tried to do a free Mayan calendar reading online, and realized that the lady who did mine did the birthday math wrong....lol. no wonder it was so completely off!!
That is North Jersey.
Here in South Jersey we are a dfferent state! So there.
Then you've been in different parts because I spent my whole childhood visiting relatives and friends in Jersey and I almost passed out from the hairspray emanating through the neighborhoods...
