Don't put the horse before the cart

Everytime I start getting all self-righteous, somehow or another, the powers that be in the universe (or multiverse, whichever you happen to believe in) quickly remind me that "they" are in control. Several days ago, for no particular reason, I began thinking of the phrase "don't put the cart before the horse." I wasn't having an internal monologue that would require to use this specific analogy; it simply, for some unknown reason began to come to mind several times a day, for several days in a row. This was last week. Tonight, on the phone with my daughter's grandmother, I was adamantly proclaiming that I would no longer be following the direct advice of men, because it never did me any good. She sort of laughed it off as some newfound sense of independence that was familiar to the overall theme of our discussion. However, after concluding our phone conversation and putting my daughter to bed, I recalled something eerily consistent with my clairvoyant manifestations. When I had gone to the bank yesterday to discuss the receipt of my pending inheritance and what I would like to do with it, the idea of purchasing a home naturally presented itself. When I told the financial advisor at the bank the possibility of deciding to purchase a home outright, he stated the phrase that had burned a whole in my head for several previous days, "Dont put the cart before the horse." Then he suggested that I rent an apartment in order to provide rental history to obtain a good mortgage rate, and I mentioned my anxieties about apartment living. Then he suggested renting a house, and I agreed that was a good compromise. I think, based on the profound synchronicity of the metaphor that he stated, that, on second thought, maybe I shouldn't give up entirely on following men's advice, especially if I an receiving supernatural messages beforehand, and then miraculously being able to recall them.

Do radio waves read my mind?

So twice today was I visited by the clairvoyancy fairy via the typical (if you can even call it that, since obviously clairvoyancy is completely normal...) means of conduction by which my clairvoyancy appears - radio frequencies. The first incidence was when I poured my daughter a glass of juice and commanded her to "Drink!" The way I said it wasn't mean-spirited, just attention-getting since the tube was on. As I turn my back to the TV to place the juice back into the fridge, from a commercial I hear the same emphatic command - "Drink!“. Not an hour later at the car, I was putting my daughter in her carseat and had the car turned on to get it cooled down. The radio was on and I was saying something to my daughter that wasn't the least bit profound, something along the lines of "I know you want to..." when not 3 seconds after finishing my brief discussion with her, the commercial on the radio makes the same statement - "i know you want to..." To this day, I still wonder if I am the only person who would predict that Steve Harvey (the comedian) would use the word "befuddled" during an interview on Good Morning America in 2009 when he was promoting his book Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man. You can ask my daughter's grandmother about that one. A black man using the word "befuddled" - that happens about as frequently as seeing a speckled unicorn do the electric slide. Did I predict that he would say that - THAT! - word? Did I will Steve Harvey to say that word in response to a caller's question about his book, at that moment, not 3 seconds after I remarked to my daughter's grandmother "He looks befuddled," as we were sitting there watching the interview? I was beside myself, although I believe that is a different super power.
