Taurus
Horoscope (by astrocenter.com)
You can be quite productive today, dear Taurus, as long as you
maintain a slow, steady and conservative pace. Realize that you do
not need to make any flashy displays or huge outward movements to
demonstrate the fact that you have accomplished. Do things on your
own terms and under your own rules. Do what feels right. The key
today is feeling your strength from within and capitalizing on this
energy.
Gemini
Horoscope (by astrocenter.com)
There is a rather slow and reserved energy present today that may be
hindering your efforts to get your chores done, dear Gemini. Light
and superfluous actions will most likely be met with resistance. Try
to be on the receiving end of things rather than on the delivering
end of things. You will find that this is a good time to slow down
and recharge your battery. Think before you make your next move.
=========
Supposedly, we are behind at work (not significantly so, from what I
can see, but whatever), so have to cut down on the 'net usage today.
So...the weekend. Friday I cleaned house & saw Lynn's porch kittens,
then worked out. Saturday, went to SA bright & early, went to high
tea with Rhonnie, her sisters Beckie & Frances, Dee's Mom Janine, Sis
Elena, Daughter Josephine, Dee, Rio, and Dee's friend from Italy,
Brandi. Brandi & Dee's husbands were both stationed in Italy at the
same time & they met there. Now Brandi lives in Ft. Worth. She is
cool. High Tea was wonderful, then we stopped by a neat little
ceramics store on the way back to Dee's mom's house. It was a house
that had been turned into a shop, with a warehouse out back with the
greenware. I told Dee about my idea w/ Jen, and talked about us all
going in together, Dee with her Ceramics, Me with soap & stained
glass, Jen with her knitting, Rio with her cross stitch & beadwork,
and Brandi said she'd learn candlemaking and make that her specialty.
So we all have our crafts & will have workshops & teach each other
how to do one another's crafts.
We visited w/ Dee's mom on the porch a while, she talked about her
husband and all the blessings she'd had in the course of his illness
& death...she is very spiritually strong. She talked about their trip
to Germany last summer, and how he had become more lucid on Father's
day and spent a long time on the phone with Dee, Lyle & Josephine. In
hindsight, it was really one last gift, ya know? For them to have one
last good visit before he went on. *sigh* I cried a little bit. But
it was good for her to talk about him.
Then we went on to Rio's, left Lyle with Mike & Jaden, and Me, Rio,
Dee, and Brandi went to the mall, played with makeup and perfume in
Sephora, just wandered around. Did dinner in teh food court, talked
trash about UB, etc.
Then back to Rio's, where Tim and Liz had come over & they were
playing Trivial Pursuit. Liz had been in the hospital, had part of
her cervix removed due to a precancerous condition!! And didn't call
or write anybody to say what was going on. I'm so glad that she got
through it OK, and apparently they caught it on time...but wow. It
made me think that 10 years ago, right around this time, I was
getting my ovary taken out. :( I joked that in 10 yrs it'll be
someone else's turn to have something icky done in the hospital. I
hugged Liz and told her not to go thru stuff like that alone, to call
or write and tell me what's UP!
So 'round 10:30-or so, I took Brandi and Dee back to Dee's mom's and
we made plans for Sunday. Since Brandi was on her way back home and
would go thru Austin on Sunday a.m., I asked her to bring Dee and
we'd meet someplace eazy to get to from I-35.
SUnday, we met at the mcDs in Capital Plaza--just Dee, no Lyle or
Josephine. Lyle was still doing the grout at D's mom's and Josephine
was going to go to Fiesta TX with her aunt Elena. So taht was cool.
We went to Tien Hong for Dim Sum w/ Tom, and then dropped Tom back at
home & went to San Gabriel Park to see E. We were there for a
couple hours. SIL was on her best behavior, actually asked Dee acouple
questions about her self before launching off on 'I, Me, My, bla bla"
speeches. Kind of funny, she said "I've heard lots of Rio stories,
but not very many D stories, tell me Dee stories" ....which is such a
lie, since I never get in much of a word edgewise, let alone enough
to actually tell a cool story about my HS days with my cool HS buds.
So...ANYWAY, Dee was properly horrified. Around 5:30, Tom called and
said Alex was up and called. so we went home, and Alex came by for a
quick visit before work. Then Tom, Dee and I went to Kerbey Ln for
dinner. Stayed up late watching Stargate & Outer Limits, talked about
this n that, then went to bed 'round 1.
Up at 9 on Sunday, went to Natural magic, Book People, Relax the Back
store, lunch at Mother's Cafe, then took D back to San Antonio. :) It
was a great visit. I was glad to spend time with just us, but would
have been cool tohave Lyle & Josephine visit,too.
