Literally Speaking?

11/16/07

When I read my horoscope I usually don't take it literally. These things are all in fun. Or are they? Today's Pisces horoscope was accurate. Actually, I get two horoscopes each day..... and both were good warnings of what my day would hold.....

Pisces Fortune Cookie for November 16:

A pleasant surprise will fall into your lap today.

Here is your Pisces horoscope for Friday, November 16:

Slow down and give yourself time to relax -- you know you deserve it! If kids or clients are barking at you, just throw them a bone and chill for a while. You can get back to them later on.

Now the story.

I was riding the bus to school this morning. Usually by the time we get to downtown the bus is full. The last guy boarded the bus. The only empty seat on the bus was next to mine. He started walking down the aisle, when the bus started moving. He continued to stagger down the aisle towards the empty seat. The bus turned the corner to head East onto Central.... and the man was thrown onto my lap. He tried to get up and again fell back onto my lap. Finally he was able to sit.

I heard the guy across the aisle laughing (apparently a friend of this man's) The friend said, "Don't you usually introduce yourself to a lady first, before you sit on her lap."

I turned to the guy and said, "Hi, I'm Tina." He told me his name and we shook hands.... then he said, "It has probably been a while since a man sat on your lap." I smiled and raised my eyebrows. He started over, "It has probably been a while since a strange man fell into your lap."

I replied, "There's a first time for everything."

We talked the rest of the ride to the university. He is also an older, non-traditional student. Majoring in Physics.... and he has beautiful blue eyes.

Now... what about the dogs in the other horrorscope (Yes. I did mean horrorscope....)

After work, while I was driving to pick El Jay up, I had two little dogs run across the road in front of my car. First going left to right. I slowed down and they safely went across the street, but then... I guess... because I didn't see them... they turned around and dashed back across the road... I felt a thump...I guess they got under the car... and my left rear tire ran over one of them.... I looked in my rearview mirror and one dog was lying in the middle of the road and the other dog was standing next to it.... I turned around and went back, but someone else had stopped and was moving the dog to the side of the road.
