Omens

[Untamed Snark]

My dog tore a yellow and brown towel to pieces last night, usually
He has also been carrying my Swans monkey around, last I heard he had put it on the top of the couch (his fav spot and the highest point in the house he is allowed to climb to)
He played with the monkey-and left it in the same spot when we first played the hawks, he wouldn't go near it in in round 22

In 2005, I spent the week leading up to the GF at my desk reading RWO and anything else footy related. Bugger all work.

In 2006, I spent the week leading up to the GF at my desk reading RWO and anything else footy related. Bugger all work.

In 2012, I'll spend the week leading up to the GF at my desk reading RWO and anything else footy related. Bugger all work.

Is this how this thread is supposed to work??

In 1996 and 2006 l bought my Football Record at the game, and look what happened. In 2005 l bought it at the news agency and we won. Guess what l bought today? Also in '05 l wore a pair of Adidas White and Red runners, l forgot to wear them in '06. I foraged around last night and found them. They WILL be worn on Saturday.

I've been sticking pins into a Franklin doll all year, though not with the results I was hoping for.

Last I saw it my little cousin had it perched on a matchbox car and it was amongst a pile of other matchbox cars.

Missed this post the first time around. It needs more love,....

My omens are normally musical omens.

On Friday I was at home during the day thinking about the Pies game and my god daughter kept playing the Black Eyed Peas song 'I've got a feeling (that tonight's gonna be a good night)'. It was starting to get on my nerves but then it twigged that it might be a good sign! Jumped in the car to get dropped off at the Bus Stop to head to the game and Hunters & Collectors 'Holy Grail' came on. I was sorted after that, I was convinced we had the Pies game sealed.

Jumped in the car this morning looking to hear what the first song was on the radio after planning the GF road trip with my Dad all morning. First song was Boom Crash Opera's 'Best Thing' which is a favourite song of mine I associate with something good happening or about to happen. Next song came on the radio, 'Holy Grail' again!! I couldn't believe it. I've got a good feeling about things now!!!

OK we are home!!

Working from home this morning. Very busy. Muted the news on TV and got distracted with emails and phone calls for a good hour or so. Decided to flick the TV over to Max music channel and turn the volume on - the song was 'Holy Grail' again!!! I'm feeling good about this.

Went to trivia last night. Named our team "Shake Down The Thunder" in honour of the Swans. For the first time in a while, we won.

Well done Thunder Shaker.

You beat my psychic hands down.
