Can You Hear Me Now?I made a discovery in the shower this morning. (No, not that discovery. Sheesh.)
I discovered that the Universe (see how I capitalized that? that'll pay off one of these days, you just wait) is communicating with me.
That's right: the Big U is paging Little A.
I used to think that if I ever had a metaphysical encounter, it would animated - like those Monty Python cartoons where the clouds stomp around with big, muscular calves and a pig can fall out of the sky and squish you without warning.
(Actually, I'd prefer that all communications be handled in this format.)
But now I know that not all metaphysical messages are accompanied by cartoon trumpet fanfare.
Truth is, I'm always on the lookout for little signs. I like to think that a particular Roy Clark song on the radio carries a hopeful message meant just for me, or that when I make three green lights in a row (screaming brakes and leaping pedestrians notwithstanding), it's the Universe's way of giving me a little wink and saying, "Hey, Anna, I got your back."
So I was tickled today to discover yet another friendly nod from beyond.
The words were small, wiggly and reddish-purple.
And they were on my thigh.
That's right - the Universe is communicating with me through my spider-veins.
Here, see for yourself:
Can you read it? Too far away? Okay, let me zoom in a bit:
Ta-da! Isn't that amazing? I know it's kind of hard to make out, but if you squint your eyes and tilt your head to one side you can see that the letters spell H-E-L-L-O.
Isn't that cool?!?
Once again, the Universe has tapped me on the
Who knows where my next special bulletin will appear? I can't wait!
CONGRATULATIONS!

the universe has been trying to make me convert a divet in my gut to a soap dish ever since I had my second child. I think some people use sit ups to communicate back to the universe about that, but I'm thinking of just keepin it, cause it could come in handy.
Man, when I look back at all the messages from the universe I must have missed because I didn't even think to check my legs.... what a bummer.
If I connect the dots on my freckles it spells out the words,"If you can read this you are too close."
I wonder if the cottage cheese on my legs is really a coded message I've miss read. I think it said your fat but maybe I read it wrong and it says sexy!
I just checked and you're not going to believe what I've got going on. It's an outline of your mustache with an exclamation point at the end. I think the Universe speak for LAUGH!
My brows are trying to tell me something, too, but I can't read them backwards in the mirror.
my cottage cheese ass has been trying to tell me something for years...but I am too busy waggling my Granny Clampett arm flaps to hear it!
Are you sure it's the universe? Maybe it's the tiny alien growing inside your body.
I'm surprised you didn't end this with--Ha! made you look! Cuz I know I did! Is that bad?
My spider veins are much more gregarious--they are like the chairmen of my knee-pits.
Thank you for giving me a dose of Anna Awesome-nitude.
xo
My butt dimples say Achtung! In Braille...that's right.
What bugs me is when my spider veins speak to me.... out loud.... in Spanish. And then they offer me a taco when they know I'm on a diet dammit.

p.s. congrats to the winner and I think next year I just may have to purchase a ticket on my own and go. I hope heavy coverage will be on your blawg, want to hear all bout it.
No you have me wondering what all the grey hairs in my nose have been trying to tell me. They just keep repeating themselves.
Funny. I thought my rash was telling me something quite different.
Roy Clark?! Great, now I'm going to start having the Hee Haw nightmares again. I was just starting to get over them.
I thought the big U had left a message on my toes, but my when I took them to our local astronomer he just shrugged and suggested it might be Athletes Foot. Ho hum
Oh, if I could give you all the awards in the world and flood your bloggy box, I would.
That was fabulous!
Your message is only a post it note, the universe left a bible on my thighs.
Yet,here I sit, with my blobby thighs , instead of exercising.
Maybe I"m a better conduit b/c of my expanse...
I'm afraid if I posted a shot of my thigh the universe would shatter.
or laugh out loud.
take your pick.
Dork!
:-)
The Universe confers with me regularly. I see patterns in just about everything.

I'll still trade you, because that picture of your thigh looks about the size of my calf. (I have a very wittle cow. It doesn't eat much and it walks on a leash.)
All I can say (besides you are hilarious, as usual) is that I hope you didn't write on your thigh with permanent ink. Tell me that was photoshopped.
ROTFL, Anna, first at your wonderful post, and then at the comments. I won't even try to compete with them.
I probably thought this post was about me...
So THAT's what dork means...
Anna, you dork, you!! Loved this post, as always!!!
I'm getting similar messages.
Only mine are on my face and say, "OLD!"
Fascinating. Maybe I need to start looking into what those little wrinkles on my face are saying to me. Oh wait, they are telling me forty is really not the new thirty. Damn ad campaigns. I was just starting to believe it.
The signs are always there, but I'm soooo nearsighted I would totally miss that in the shower without my glasses. Should I start showering with them on? Hummm...
Sheesh! This blog is really funny stuff! I don't know if you are inspiring me to be funnier or just quit blogging all together! lol
I love your posts! They are funny and thought provoking and make my day when i read them!
I know you have a lot of readers and probably don't get to read other new blogs but if you have some time, maybe you would like to visit mine?
It's a wacky, funny blog that would make a 4 year old jealous cause of it's awesomeness...you know you wanna ( i know, it's shameless self promotion, but how else do you get to know people who are into the same things as me?)
