Reflections on the Birthday Calculator

OK, Now I am not someone who really pays a lot of attention to these kinds of profiles but there are a few things in this one that has me smiling. First of all I read about the number 3 Life Path, and I kind of like it and think it really fits me. I am sure Jay would recognize me in there too, especially the part about the issue with money (I wonder if I can just use this profile as a defense when the next credit card bill comes in?) Anyway, after reading the profile I come to the conclusion, its good to be a three. 

Next it says that my Native American Zodiac sign is the owl. I have always had a thing for owls. When I was a kid my art work usually included an owl somewhere. One of the only gifts I have left from my mom is a small pewter owl figurine. I am not getting all mystical here just think it is a cool co-incidence, I am not claiming to have a Native America heritage (one look at me clears that) but just thought it was cool.

And then there is the list of songs that were popular. One of the songs on there is, The Lion Sleeps Tonight by the Tokens. I was never the kid that was really into music, still am not to this day- right now I am sitting here in a quiet house, windows open listening to the birds.) But, at one time we learned the request number for a local radio station. There was one summer that we would call in and see if they would play our songs. My memory is that I must have called a million times (but probably was more like 5 times all together) requesting A Lion Sleeps Tonight. I loved that song. Now seeing that it was one of the top songs the year I was born it gives credence to the theory I read when I was pregnant with Kyle. The book said to play a song often while you were pregnant and while the baby was small and that it would become a calming agent for them. This way, when your toddler was out of control you  could play it and it should help settle them down. I was never focused enough to really do that but it seems that A Lion Sleeps Tonight did that for me. I still to this day love that song,
