Aquarius Horoscope

For The Week Starting October 15, 2012

This will turn out to be a great week for you. Your intuition is strong so follow your hunches. You may experience some sudden changes and happenings that may improve your surroundings. The chance of a lifetime could be yours before this week is over. Timing is everything this week. A large expense decreases your bank funds but you have expected it. If you have any artistic talent it will come out this next week.

What a difference a few decades make.  How does your week look?

Friday Free-for-all

Nonsense I think about while I am busy avoiding other responsibilities:

• Had dinner last night with Connecticut friends who are in town for Vanderbilt family weekend.
• I have been quite the gal about town lately.  I need to stay in and detox.
• That Katie Couric show is not very good.
• Actually, all daytime TV is pretty lame.
• Except for Michael Strahan.  He is so cute.
• Oh, and Ellen.
• Have transitioned Dora to an all raw diet, and almost immediately, all of her health issues have improved.
• Is it possible to floss too much?
• Read any good books lately?
• If you haven't done so, please register to be a marrow donor.  And get your family to do so. Especially those younger than 40.  All you need is a cheek swab.
• There is large azalea in full bloom here.  
• I am participating in a half marathon in one month.  I am woefully behind in training.
• What are you doing this weekend?

Blue

Missing my babies today.  

We had such a wonderful weekend together.  

So very proud of them,

And the fact that they have both roots and wings.

And in other news, Lindsay Lohan and her mother involved in a drunken brawl.

With each other.

Special.

Friday Frizzies

• It is gonna be 84 today.  And humid.  Mama's ponytail will be a big feature.
• Getting the nest feathered for the babies' return later today.
• I took the Tennessee Real Estate Licensing Exam yesterday.
• I miss Eastern Airlines.
• Dora is doing much better.  Thanks for all the well-wishes.
• Did any of you see that hair and chalk ball that doctors in India took out of a lady's gut?  Yeah.  I won't post the link.  You're welcome.
• I love Target.  Love it. And that statement right there probably made my mother roll over.  She never went into a big store in her life.  She also never wore jeans.
• I miss my mama.
• I treated myself to a mani/pedi on Tuesday and promptly broke out in hives all over my lower legs.  They are still there.  So pretty.
• Oh, I passed the exam!

Have a great weekend.  Love, MPM

• In 4 sleeps, my babies will be here.
• I wish Lindsay Lohan and her mother would go away.
• I think Kate Middleton has learned a big lesson.
• And Arnold Schwarzenegger?  ugh
• Pioneer Woman's Italian Drip Roast is my newest addiction.
• October may be my favorite month.
• The birds around here are very busy.  And the killdeer chirp all night long.
• We have not seen the mountain lion again, but Dora and I did encounter a fire extinguisher in the middle of a field.  So funny.
