Jinx the Jinx

So, I've been doing everything I can in order to prepare for my move to Mexico. I've asked my employers (they said yes or this wouldn't have been possible), I put the townhouse up for sale, I got rid of ALOT of clothes and shoes not to mention ALL of my winter clothes, re-homed one of my cats, re-discovered this blog to keep my friend and family informed, made an appointment with the dentist (and since cancelled...but I'll get there), and got all my necessary shots.

Evidently, the Universe thought I was over prepared. And is now playing games with me. Because there haven't been any good offers on the house, yet. Hey, I even buried St. Joe in the yard!!!

So, in an attempt to get my house to sell, I've decided that I'm going to play a little reverse psychology on the Universe. Trying to jinx the jinx by doing things that don't scream "I wanna move".

So today, instead of planning for a move to Mexico. I planned for a vacation in Mexico with a full intent on going there and coming back.

I'm a sly one...aren't I???

Anyone have suggestions on how to fool the Universe?

Pretend to give up, that usually works.

There's a good book or movie called 'The Secret'. It's all about commanding the Universe and getting what you want. But since I recommended St. Joe and he failed you... I hate to recommend any thing else. :o)

BUT... since you're planning a "vacation" to Mexico. Go around November 8th. I'll be in Cancun Saturday to Saturday at Dreams. We have the corner lot on the strip, our own lagoon and dolpins. This place sounds so good, I'll bet we even have waffles for breakfast.:o)

Maybe you can come play for the day?

Heather: I've called 'Uncle' on the Universe and I've rolled over and played 'dead' as well.

Mike: I know about the Secret. :) Unfortunately, I will not be there on the 8th (hear that Universe). But have fun! And I like pancakes. :)

Well who doesn't like 'pancakes' Vanessa? It's Mexico, it's not like I'm going to St. Martin or the Grand Caymans for pete's sake. :o)

Buy a one way ticket and be way to busy working and having fun to purchase a return!
