Paper of Plastic takes on a whole new meaning - plastic money!

Let's see...yesterday I had to run some errands (like go to the bank and get them to remove the hold they put on a check deposited Friday which even the teller couldn't explain why it was there, and go pay off my Love's car loan) and went with Jef afterwards to the Pagan bookstore just down the road. We spent a bunch of time there because he got all to talking with the storekeeper about incense and tarot cards and stuff. Meanwhile, I went looking through the room in the back (which has some jewerly and clothing and such) and to my surprise discovered there was someone else back there. Now I had been to this store a number of times but I had never noticed anyone else there. This time I did.
Now, just to back up a bit for those wondering what the hell I'm talking about, I'm a medium. Born this way. Hated it and was afraid of it pretty much my whole life. It meant I saw/heard/felt things that no one else did and it creeped me out. Now about a year or so ago I met a friend of Jef's who also had the same gift. So does her daughter. And I ended up talking to my mom about it and she does too - just something she never got to accepting herself either. Well, lately I've been trying to make an effort not to be scared by it and to try to understand it and accept it better.
Which brings us back to the store. It's in this old house in the old Historic part of the town. My old responce would have been to catch the spirit out of the corner of my eye and hurridly run out of the room and pretend I didn't see it. But yesterday, I did the opposite. I turned around and went back into the room and peeked my head into the room behind that where I saw something in the first place. Turns out it was a cute little girl, blond, ringlet curly hair, in a dress. She was very playful but didn't speak to me at all, just sorta giggled and darted off. This was actually very cool for me because I wasn't scared. In fact, I couldn't help but smile at her michevious little-kid attitude.

Anyway, for those who haven't noticed, I added a new portion of another website here on giveneyestosee.com. It's called a . wish . for . wings . that . work and got booted off it's last location after the previous host wanted to charge money to host it. It's not the complete site that it was, but the main parts are there and available right now.

And, in case someone did not realize, I'm having a DAMNED hard time with my email right now. I can receive, but I can not send anything out. Nothing. At all. Seems there's some issue with the dial-up isp letting me access my smtp server that I can't figure out. Arg. For the moment if you email me and you've not heard anything back, it's not because I didn't get it or didn't want to reply, it's just that I can't reply at the moment. (which is very frustrating!)
Alright, well that's it for now. TTFN. :)
