Being Clairvoyant

Let me tell you about all the times that I've been clairvoyant. There have been a handful.

1. When I was getting ready to move to Minnesota, I told people for months that I was going to meet my husband in four days. I don't know why I said that. I moved in at Luther Seminary on a Friday. I met Jesse on a Tuesday. Now we're married.

2. Playing the card game, golf. I played it with Jesse a few times and DESTROYED him. I just felt like I could sense where to put the cards and when to pick one up and when to draw a card, etc. and then I won, every. single. time. If you've ever played, this will make sense to you, but I scored -2 to 4 points almost every round. That's when I KNEW, I had to be clairvoyant. Then I told him that one hundred times until he started saying it too. Sarcastically, like I *knew* he would.

3. Sometimes I think about someone I haven't in a while, and all of a sudden I'll run into them or they'll call.

4. Sometimes I'll count down from 5 or 10 or 3 at a stoplight and it will change right as I finish saying 1. Most of the time that doesn't happen, but the most important thing is that it has, before.

5. One time, we were seeing this band we like at a bar. I looked their lead singer and I said to Jesse, "I bet she's pregnant." She wasn't showing at all. I was right. CLAIRVOYANT!
