A Strange Case Of Uncanny Timing: June 7, 2010

What does it mean?

You've been thinking about somone. Somone you haven't heard from in weeks, months or even years, and within a short period of time you receive some kind of communication from them. Twice I received letters from a woman I had worked with years before within a day of thinking about her for the first time in a long period of time. The second instance I even stopped in front of the mailbox and had the idea that there was going to be a letter from her because it had already happened once and sure enough, there was a letter in the box. My question is obvious. What is this phenomenon that boils down to a "Strange Case Of Uncanny Timing"?

Is it God? Is it the Universe? Entanglement? Are our brains Quantum computers? Is it the "Law of Attraction"?, or is it all nothing more than a coincidence? Carl Jung called it synchronicity and it happens all the time. Does it happen to you? It happens to me and I find myself wondering "What does it mean?". Decide for yourself as you follow my diary of another "Strange Case Of Uncanny Timing", also known as a S.C.O.U.T!

June 7, 2010 - Bacon bits of love :)

Background - My husband and I had a bit of a rough patch. I wouldn’t really call it a fight, it was more of an impass which resulted in that cold, silent distance between us for a bit (way worse than a fight). A day or so later, we were able to make-up and feel that sweet closeness once again. So much so that we decided to head to Costco for a now rare, husband/wife shopping trip. After ambling up and down the vast aisles, bumping one another affectionately with our shoulders we came upon the bacon bits. We were trying to decide whether to buy such an enormous bag (nitrates and all) when I checked the expiration date just out of curiosity.

S.C.O.U.T. - The date read November 19, 2010, our wedding anniversary. 22nd to be exact! I mean seriously, this was early June. Think of all the dates that could have been on that bag. Now think of it this way… if I went out searching products for our anniversary date, what are the chances I would find it? I can tell you that I did exactly that for the next two months (and off and on since then) and haven’t found a product marked with November 19 yet. Uncanny!

My goofy dog Scout says that there is no way that a product that lasts that long is “food“. Needless to say, I haven’t read him the expiration date on his dog food….that’s probably best.
