1832My evening

Jan. 8, 2004

 

 

We are up to 9 boxes o' crap at work, the call went out for OT during
the week & on Saturday. I got nothing better to do, I may as well
pick up some extra bux. Good news: TUC is over! so the appeals will
taper off & eventually be GONE soon!

I went to Poly dinner last night, even though I didn't really
feel like it, and I had a pretty nice time.

No Kidding! was also there doing games night. Usually it's not so
awkward--NK is upstairs inside and Poly is downstairs outside, so I
don't have to be so obviously NOT participating in the No Kidding
gathering. But I did actually get to visit with the NK people too
--it's the Austin chapter's anniversary soon, so we are going to a
nice 4 course dinner on the 17th where a mere $20 covers everything!

It is BYOB, which is wierd. But should be fun. We are getting the
menu a week in advance, so I will be able to shop for wine to bring.
That'll be fun.

I looked at Central Market's schedule of classes last night--big
mistake. There is SO MUCH I'd like to do & try, but the $ thing is a
big factor right now.

Three biggies that I'd most like to do:

"Mastering Wine in an Evening" with Karen MacNeil
"Wine Pairing the Master's Way" with Tim Gaiser (he is
a Master Sommelier from San Francisco!)
and
"Spring Fling with Texas Wine & Cheese" with Paula Lambert & Susan
Auler. Ms. Lambert is a cheese artisan from Dallas, and Ms. Auler is
co-owner of Fall Creek Vineyard, one of the places I went tasting
with the group that included the drunk sorority biotches.

*sigh* (Plus, the class reservation is through the answering service
I used to work for & I can remember answering for CM's class
hotline...so it will be *WIERD* being on the other end of that
transaction.)

I may go ahead and try to pick *just one* each month or something.
But I imagine the ones I want are the ones EVERYONE is going to want,
so I'd probably need to reserve NOW. when I have very little
disposable $. feh.

Anyhoo...glad it's Thursday. Looking forward to having nothing to do
after work but Pilates & sleep. Maybe laundry, but that's a reach at
this point.

Taurus

Horoscope (by Astrocenter.com)
It is time to get up and get moving, dear Taurus. You have tremendous
ideas stored up inside and wonderful visions for the future. You have
all the information and knowledge you need, now all you need to do is
act. Step up to the plate and swing hard. Hit one over the fence.
Getting out of your box and further into the world at large will do
you a great deal of good. Get a greater perspective on things and
enjoy time in a new environment.

Gemini

Horoscope (by Astrocenter.com)
The early part of the day might find you sluggish and indecisive,
dear Gemini, but later on tonight you should be psyched up and ready
to go. Today marks the beginning of a new period in which you should
work to set your ideas in motion. Action is the key word. Think
before you speak and use caution when talking about other people.
Make sure your discussions with others about others don't turn into
hurtful gossip.

Sun Sign: Taurus
Rising Sign: Sagittarius

There may be challenges in your daily routine today, evilE. Events
may crop up out of nowhere and slam you in the face with energy that
you least expected. These are indications that something in your life
is not quite on track, or else you have chosen to simply not deal
with the issue. The dirt may creep out from under the rug, so be
prepared. It is a day to honor the bizarre and ostentatious.

Your Rising Sign
The sextile aspect between Pluto, ruler of sensuality, and Venus,
ruler of love, in your eleventh house ruling friends hints that you
could suddenly see in a new light a man whom you have always
considered a platonic friend. Or he could suddenly view you as a
potential lover. Either way, give the situation a lot of thought
before taking steps to change the status of your relationship. It
could prove more complicated than it seems!

Daily Numeroscope - January 8, 2004

Life Path Number: 6
You may find that today is a very busy day for you work-wise, evilE.
You may feel like you are neglecting the homestead, but don't worry.
Your family understands that you sometimes have work duties that keep
you at the office or on the road a little longer than anyone likes.
Hard work brings rewards that the entire family enjoys. Such is the
nature of an 8-Day. Help your family to understand by sitting and
talking about it. This can make a big difference.
