263 End of Year statement - people's bank

 

• Jan. 23, 2002

   

  I spent $221 on air fare
  $231 on a rental car
  176.48 on restaurant dining
  160 on education (UT informal classes)
  89.93 on 'health care' (contact lenses)
  605.43 on 'miscellaneous' - [eBay-285.49, long distance phone bill
  78.74, retail 231, and $10 on amazon.com (more amazon later)]
  1219.86 on retail [including the rest of my amazon.com purchases]
  221.82 on groceries
  and $190 on ticket/events
  
  Back to Amazon. My total spending on amazon.com this year was 472.94
  wow-ee. (BTW, Tom says they showed a profit for the first time! yay!)
  
  In a way, it's nice to get an end of year statement. Theoretically
  with something like this I could figure out where every penny of my
  money went last year.
  
  I wonder if I'll get a statement like this about how I spent my time
  at the pearly gates :)
  
  Anyhoo....wow. Almost 500 on books. Considering how much in debt I
  am,500 doesn't seem that much. But ...it all adds up.
  I am going to try not to waste so much $ this year.

  Elizabeth of Tudor Tarts put one on afr last nite, but I couldn't
  ever get it to work. So I went looking for other color tests, and
  here is what I found:
  
  ============================================================
  http://users.rcn.com/zang.interport/personality.html
  
  You demand a free and unattached life for yourself that allows you to
  determine your own course. You have an artistic bent in your work or
  leisure activities. Your urge for freedom sometimes causes you to do
  exactly the opposite of what expected of you.
  
  Your lifestyle is highly individualistic. You would never blindly
  imitate what is "in"; on the contrary, you seek to live according to
  your own ideas and convictions, even if this means swimming against
  the tide.
  
  =============================================================

  Your Existing Situation
  Relatively inactive and in a static condition, while conflict of one
  sort or another prevents peace of mind. Unable to achieve
  relationships of the desired degree of mutual affection and
  understanding.
  
  Your Stress Sources
  Has an unsatisfied need to ally herself with others whose standards
  are as high as her own, and to stand out from the herd. This desire
  for preeminence isolates her and inhibits her readiness to give
  herself freely. While she wants to surrender and let herself go, she
  regards this as a weakness which must be resisted. This self-
  restraint, she feels, will lift her above the rank and file and
  ensure recognition as a unique and distinctive personality.
  
  Your Restrained Characteristics
  Feels that she is burdened with more than her fair share of problems.
  However, she sticks to her goals and tries to overcome her
  difficulties by being flexible and accommodating.
  Feels that things stand in her way, that circumstances are forcing
  her to compromise and forgo some pleasures for the time being.
  
  Your Desired Objective
  Takes easily and quickly to anything which provides stimulation.
  Preoccupied with things of an intensely exciting nature, whether
  erotically stimulating or otherwise. Wants to be regarded as an
  exciting and interesting personality with an altogether charming and
  impressive influence on others. Uses tactics cleverly so as to avoid
  endangering her chances of success or undermining others' confidence
  in herself.
  
  Your Actual Problem
  Greatly impressed by the unique, by originality, and by individuals
  of outstanding characteristics. Tries to emulate the characteristics
  she admires and to display originality in her own personality.

265 Horoscopes for today

  Well, apparently I should go to PNO after That 80s show. That or I
  need to see "Dark Goddess" tonight. I do need to call or go by to
  reserve our spots for Friday nite. Kathleen called & wanted to know
  if her daughter could come. I said SURE! That's pretty cool. Her
  daughter seems like your typical inarticulate teen, but she may like
  it anyway. I think it's pretty cool that K. is a 'pagan' and doesn't
  hide it from her kid.
  
  ==================
  Taurus
  
  Horoscope (by astrocenter.com)
  A lecture, workshop or festival involving spiritual, metaphysical,
  scientific or occult studies could take place today, dear Taurus,
  perhaps featuring a noted author or speaker whom you've admired for a
  long time. This should prove stimulating and thought-provoking for
  you, and you might meet some new friends. You might find some of the
  ideas that come up to be very strange, and difficult to accept.
  Still, they're worthy of consideration. Think about it!
  
  Gemini
  
  Horoscope (by astrocenter.com)
  Spiritual and/or religious studies could be especially important to
  you today. You might come into contact with ideas that you've never
  considered before, dear Gemini, but which nonetheless capture your
  imagination. Books, lectures, workshops, and/or festivals might prove
  especially enlightening today, and therefore don't be surprised if
  you spend a lot of your day churning them around in your mind. Go to
  a movie in the evening. You'll need to clear your head for a while!
