Checking Me Out?

Virgo Horroscope

Today, September 15, 2008

Today any fatal attraction is most likely to occur behind the shelves in a quiet library, while perusing nature books. As you leaf through pictures you find very suggestive, you suddenly feel someone's eyes on you. The sensation as your eyes meet goes right through you - yes, Cupid has shot his arrow!

***

Man, that's setting me up for disappointment, isn't it?

.

Cupid is probably shooting lead-tipped arrows today, anyway.

I'll go to the library tommorow.

You can't hide behind your smile...

A smile on the face of one in pain contains a hidden power whose true source is known only to God. How many people keep great trials away from loved ones in order not to burden them with more pain[?]

~Mother M. Angelica

No Greater Love

***

Sometimes, though, one's eyes betray his or her sorrow.

I see his pain.

Despite his inner strength, despite his insistence that he's fine, it is easy to see the through the facade of happiness.

He doesn't look the same at all.

He carries himself as though the weight of the world is being carried upon his shoulders.

His eyes reveal a sadness that I never could stand to see.

I'd give anything for them to sparkle again.

So, I pray that his fondest desires come true whatever they be.

That's the nature of love.

I have faith that his honest to goodness smile will return again.

It just won't happen soon enough.

And, part of me hopes, that he doesn't notice the truth in my eyes.

I pray he only saw the facade of my smile.

I'm 39 today and always...

The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age.

This will be my last year of living honestly....next year I'll be 39, t00.



If I can manage to blow out all those candles on my flaming cake, I'm going to wish for a fly fishing buddy with a really nice rod.


Oh, crap.


I told the world my wish. It's not going to be happening now, is it?


Bummer....


Sigh...

Edit 9/8/2008 - Do you know what happens when you manage to blow out all the candles on your birthday cake even though you told the world your wish?

It still comes true.

Yep.

Mine came true almost immediately.

But it was skewed a little.

Within an hour of gobbling up my cake, I fell in love (fly fishing metaphor aside, love was what I truly wanted anyhow).

I sure did.

I spent most of the evening cuddling and hugging my new friend.

His name is Tommy.

Uh, huh...

Tommy is a beautiful Miniature Schnauzer

that was found wandering the streets of Denver.

He's so much fun!

I guess I can put off that fly fishing wish another year!

Natural Black Magic...

Tomorrow is my birthday. I'm telling everyone that I'm going to be 39. Trust me, no one will believe me. Only the people who grew up with me will know the truth (my favorite number is 69...do the math).

Anyhow, as a gift to myself, I'm hunting down the biggest and most unique peridot ring that I can possibly find. I was once hypnotized to feel a surge of endorphins upon looking at lime green things. So, peridot makes me happy: I figure the older I get, the bigger lime green thingy I need.

So, I wound up on a popular auction site and found a bunch of listings for magically spelled rings.

Cool...

I can get one to make me pretty, or horny, or hot, or rich, or funny, or protected, or psychic, or to bring back lost love.

That's funny!! Really, that last one cracks me up. I've been in love thrice in my lifetime. In the past month I've gotten a chance to speak with each one of these men. One of the three told me to F*ck Off. I was married to him and made the mistake of spoiling him sexually after we fought...I was sooo stupid. I don't think I need anymore of that!

The other two, well, it would be pointless to even consider a spell like that for them. I was their first love. God already did the job for me. I'm stuck in their brains for the rest of their lives. Those poor men....I'm the stuff of their nightmares!! Muahahahaha!!

It kinda reminds me of an old Fleetwood Mac tune with the lines:

Time cast a spell on you
But you won't forget me
Silver Springs

 

Ah, but one of them also got to me...it's only temporary, though. Fifty years from now, my brain will be gone and my first love will be long forgotten.

Someday....

It always happens that way...

First they ignore you,

then they ridicule you,

then they fight you,

then you win.

Unrequited Love's Second Round

"He would not stay for me, and who can wonder?
He would not stay for me to stand and gaze.
I shook his hand and tore my heart in sunder
And went with half my life about my ways."

~A.E. Housman

On Friendship...

Friendship is the comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts or measure words, certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness blow the rest away.
