How freaky is this? or "Why we'll have rice pudding tonight."

All my life I have noticed that I will often read and hear the same words at the same time, for example if I am reading (when am I not? LOL) and someone else is watching TV or listening to an audiobook nearby. I don't think much of it when it is a small or common word like "the" or "was," but it is often a much more uncommon word, like "Ireland". Once it was a whole quote from the Bible! Since I don't totally believe in coincidences, I always wonder if God is trying to tell me something.

The other day when I was trying to come up with the full name for our house - I had Epiphany *something* already and couldn't decide how to finish it. Cottage? Glen? Meadows? Woods? I decided to google cottage names. Just as I was looking online at place called Shady *Springs*, lo and behold, on my dd's audiobook they started talking about spring. Guess which one I picked?

A few minutes ago, I was looking at a thread on MDC about what homeschoolers make for lunch. My DDs were listening to The Pokey Little Puppy on tape. Just as my eye hits the words "rice pudding" in the thread, that pokey little puppy said he smelled, you guessed it, RICE PUDDING. Freaky. I think we'll make some for dessert. :)
