Something very odd has been happening to me lately. It probably means nothing, but I can't be totally sure.

A couple weeks ago I was meeting friends at a local restaurant. I got there a bit early, and just sat listening to music for a few minutes. During this time, a woman pulled up in the lane across from me. She looked familiar but I couldn't place her. She got out of her car and walked slowly into the store at the other end of the parking lot. I wondered why she parked so far away and why she looked so sad, but then let it go. Fast forward, I'm in the restaurant with my friends. A group gets seated at the next table. Lo and behold, that same woman is with this group and is seated directly across from me (at the next table of course). For some reason I'm drawn to her and I keep glancing over. It's obvious she's unhappy and even a bit angry, even with others in her group. I can't help but wonder what she's so upset about.

Okay. Yesterday I'm sitting on my porch with the kids. Someone comes walking down my street. You guessed it, its this same woman! She walks by, she doesn't look at me or anything so I'm not thinking she's stalking me :P. But she comes back by a few minutes later, not enough time for her to have walked to the end of the street I don't believe.

Just strange stuff. I'm wondering why I keep running into her, who is she, what's her story? She looks a lot like a girl I went to school with, but I'm not sure it's her. I mean, if she noticed me I would start thinking she's some psycho and she knows us or something, but she doesn't seem to notice me at all, I just notice her. I'd wonder if she was some crazy "other woman" if I didn't get the distinct feeling..uh...that wouldn't be of interest to her :P It's all very surreal feeling, I can't quite convey the feeling of disquiet I get seeing her.

I just find this all very strange and I'm not even sure why.
