From January 2008
Ok, so I celebrated my 39th birthday yesterday. Isn't it true that 40 is considered over the hill?! Holy Cow I just can't believe I'm almost 40. And it's not even that I'm that distressed about it as I am amazed. I don't feel that old! I feel like I'm in my early 30's. I guess that really is a good thing... since they do say that you are only as old as you feel. So here's to one more year in my 30's -- may be it be an awesome one!!

BOO!!
From 10/27/2007
Halloween is my favorite holiday. I just love it!! It's autumn, it's spooky, it revolves around candy, and you get to be someone else! So, I took a couple of quizzes.
What's Your Halloween Personality?
(The results were somewhat true, but not right on.)
What Your Halloween Habits Say About You
You love the drama of Halloween.

You Are A Vampire
You have a real thirst for bliss, and you consider yourself a true hedonist.
And you're not afraid to walk alone in life, if it means getting what you truly crave.
You truly enjoy entrancing people.
Not to mention the ensuing pleasures of the flesh.
Your tastes have been called decadent and bizarre.
You usually give in to your temptations, no matter how primal.
Your greatest power: Your flawless ability to seduce and charm
Your greatest weakness: Human flesh
You play well with: Werewolves

(The results were somewhat true, but not right on.)
What Your Halloween Habits Say About You
You love the drama of Halloween.
You definitely like to have the best costume around - and everyone noticing you.
You definitely think of yourself as someone who has a dark side.
And part of having that dark side means not showing it.
Your inner child is stubborn and a bit bossy.You truly fear the dark side of humanity.
You are a true misanthrope.
You're prone to be quite emotional and over dramatic.
Deep down, you enjoy being scared out of your mind... even if you don't admit it.
You are a traditionalist with most aspects of your life.
You like your Halloween costume to be basic, well made,
and conventional enough to wear another year.

Some Good Advice! (And Perfect For My Mood)
From 7/29/2007
Aquarius: January 20 - February 18
Let your love light shine today, dear Aquarius. There is a great deal of passion in your heart that needs to be expressed. Let your romantic nature take the reins, and allow your creative nature to blossom. Be assertive with regard to the ones you love. Muster up your courage and feel free to take the lead. Be loving and caring without being smothering and clingy. Give others room to breath!
I do actually feel this way quite a bit! And yes, I always have to be careful to not be too clingy once I start to share all that love and passion!! It's just sooo easy to go overboard, because I've usually been holding it all in for quite some time. It's kind of like how some are with anger.

07-07-07
From 07-07-07
Today is quite the popular day! The number 7 seems to be considered a lucky number for most, so it only seems logical that today would be important. From what I've been watching in the news, today is extremely popular for those getting married.
The number 7 for me is actually more of a favorite number than really having any luck behind it. Who knows why I even like it, I just do and have since young. While playing softball as a teenager, I always had the number 7 on my shirt. If I could have controlled my volleyball jersey number, I would have done the same.
So would I have chosen today to get married (if there were a man in the picture)? I do believe so. It would certainly make the Anniversary a bit easier to remember, right? But since that isn't the case, I'm destined to treat it like any other Saturday. I may just get my car washed today. Is that worth remembering? LOL
What will you say you were doing on 07-07-07 ?

A Promising Horoscope
From 5/31/2007
My horoscope today read:
"The gentle winds of change are blowing through your life at the moment, dear Aquarius. You have a feeling of newness and an open attitude toward the world. Some outside events will be coming up in your life that give you the impression you are advancing in a concrete manner toward a new life. You can expect to have some pleasant surprises."
I like to read my horoscope, just like I enjoy fortune cookies (although I hate it when a fortune cookie contains a character anaylsis or a phrase of wisdom instead of an actual fortune). I think that there's just a part of me that wants to believe (or wishes) there really is a way to fore-tell the future. I've had my palm read before and I have a deck of tarot cards that I dabble with every so often.
The above horoscope really does sound promising. Mostly because a new life always sounds enticing. I love change. I know, I'm weird. Most people hate change. I tend to seek it out to bring something new and exciting to what I feel has gone stale in life. And so I pose the question -- do ya think things might change in my life now, because I read this horoscope and will then through my thinking and focus on these things, make it happen? OR if it comes true, is it really because there is some power to the astrological signs? (I tend to think it's about the power of our thoughts, rather than the astrological signs.)
By the way, when I had my palm read in New Orleans two summers ago, I was told I would be married within two years. In July, my two year deadline hits. Hmmmm.... I haven't met anyone yet that could fill those shoes. Although 07/07/07 is a very appealing marriage date (the number 7 is my favorite). Unfortunately, I just don't see it happening -- so much for positive thinking, right? (Goes against everything that The Secret says to do!)

The Roles We Play
From 5/19/2007
I changed the title/name of my site last night (Window's Live Spaces). I decided that since I have another blog on my Yahoo 360 page that pretty much logs my daily events and thoughts about them, that I would make this site more about my journey to finding my true self.
I have always been fascinated by human behavior, including my own. And one of the things that I notice quite a bit about myself, is how I tend to change when around different people or in different situations. This is, of course, pretty normal for everyone. For example, when we go to work, we put on our "professional hat". When we are with loved ones, we are hopefully more relaxed and layed back. And for me especially, when I go to church, I'm really reserved and pristeen.
But what I have noticed about myself is that, even from close friend to close friend, I choose to play a different role and therefore act differently. So my big question for myself is: Are all of these roles truly me? Or are some of them an act based on my fear of not wanting particular people to see my weaknesses or the fear of not fitting in? Hmmm... I shall have to ponder on this a while.

20 Years!
From May 17, 2007
It's been twenty years today that I graduated from High School! I can't believe it!!
Reunion plans are in the works, in fact I received a letter earlier this week asking for money (of course), photos, and a bio. A bio? What do I have to say? I swear it doesn't feel like I've done or changed much (even though I know I have), especially since I don't have children to brag about.
Anyway, I added a photo of that great day 20 years ago. What a cheesy, happy grin. You can tell that I was happy as a clam to be gettin' out of the place!

Creating My Space
From 5/6/2007
Since I love creating things, I have actually enjoyed spending some time setting up my page. I've added a ton of photos... probably way more than what people are actually interested in, but I just love pictures and I love showing them off! And no, I'm not at all vain (there are tons of pictures of me). I just have a friend that likes to dabble in photography and she takes some pretty good pics.
I've also started to create a favorites list. It's been kind of fun thinking about everything that I enjoy. I think the list could be endless. I'm sure I'll continue to add to it regularly and even delete things that I've lost interest in.
I wonder what other lists I could add? Hmmmm...
I haven't ventured out and viewed too many other's pages here yet, but I've already gained a new friend. And I've had a comment added to one of my pictures. So I hope the interest in my page continues!

LAFFY TAFFY
FROM MONDAY, JULY 24, 2006
I've recently gained a new addiction: Laffy Taffy. I don't normally go for sugary/fruity types of candy, but there's something about these little chewy taffies. I think there is a sense of oral gratification that I just can't get anywhere else - LOL. So watch out chocolate... you may have been temporarily replaced!
