DUDE

The coolest thing EVER just happened to me. I was driving home from picking up Duia and Jenny. We were just about to pull into our road, literally five feet from our driveway, and there was this big grey thing in the middle of the road. There are tons of stray cats in town, so that's what I thought it was until I got closer. Since it was blocking the road I had to stop the car and wait for it to move. Instead of running off, it turned its head and looked at me. Definitely not a cat.

It was an owl.

Now everyone on here who knows me from real life knows I have a huge thing for owls. This pre-dates Harry Potter. It probably stems from when I read Owl Moon as a kid. Anyway, I LOVE owls. I have shirts, jewelry, toys...I have an owl clock hanging on my wall right now. The ringtone on my phone is even an owl hooting.

So having an actual owl staring at me from a few feet away was pretty amazing. I'm not exactly sure what the specific omens mean when and owl crosses your path, but considering that I've been fascinated with them since I was a kid, I'm saying it's a good omen.

As far as I'm concerned that owl was there to drop good fortune off at our house. And maybe a few Hogwarts letters.
