Words to live by

Here is my horoscope:

Today's Sagittarius Horoscope: Jul 29, 2008
Today is a day to be happy, dear Sagittarius, so stop thinking so negatively. It could be that people around you may seem superficial and arrogant, but try not to judge them or say things about them behind their backs. Live and let live. You will find that the more you extend good cheer and a general positive feeling outward to others, the more this feeling will get bounced back to you.

I chopped off my hair - cute bob, shocked a lot of people.

Sibling Rivalry

Dr. Phil had a couple of sisters on his show - wow, did that hit home. Their issues seemed very stupid to the average listener/viewer - but these were real - just like my sister vs. lil' bro' and me.

Anyways - that is the only thing I am dreading about this weekend, that and I hope my mom does not get her hopes up to some happy family reunion - cause that ain't gonna happen. My sister and I have had our problems since high school. Long crazy story.

This weekend is about Grandma. Still thinking about a gift and time is running out. Thanks for the suggestions Ginger, but I am running out of time for a scrapbook (I made her one at the 75 mark) and she has enough clutter - she does not need to collect anything. What does an 80 year need or want? Coach - no that's me, jewelry - no me again, scrapbook supplies - me again... what to do!?!?

I did not get my hair cut, yet. I am getting closer to the idea of short hair. Maybe next week.

a day off

worked all weekend - so I took the day off.

At work, we had an invitational slot tournament - the guy who won was so super nice and grateful - I like when nice people win.

I think I am getting my hair cut today - I keep thinking - I really like the bob - hmm. The more I see them the more I want one, add a few highlights, but then I think if I cut it I have to style it everyday - no ponytails. So I keep thinking - will I put it into action, hmm.

Getting ready for next Saturday - a day with my family to celebrate my Grandma's 80th. What should I get her? Suggestions are welcome.

Back to the family part - yikes, they all scare me - I love being so far away. It will be nice to see some of them - but the others, well you know the saying - there is always one in every family - we have more than "one."

Guess Who's having a birthday?

My Grandma!

She is throwing herself a birthday party for her 80th.

How old is she in this picture? Where was she? What was she doing? Who was she with?

Happy Monday!

Can you believe it is July and I am planning December and February events - yes the two big ones! New Year's Eve party and Super Bowl aka the Big Game, since the NFL does not want anyone to use the official name.

So much of the hurry and wait - do this now and wait - got to have all the information now and wait, you get the picture.

Rock Band is super fun - and anyone can play - you don't have to be a great singer - you do need to hit the right notes. Nolan and I completed a few more songs today. We stopped for dinner and to get a few clothes put away. If there are no good shows on tonight - guess what we are going to do...yep ROCK BAND!

Happy 4th

Forgot to post - Happy 4th! What did you do? Me stayed home, BBQed burgers.

Today we went and saw Hancock - good movie! Then the best part - we bought Rock Band for the Wii. too much fun. We have been playing all afternoon (I have been on easy - not ready for higher levels yet). Jumped in the pool to cool off - it is quite hot here. I have not gone to the gym in a couple of weeks since it has been too painfully hot.

Better go practice! Drums, guitar, singing - funny stuff.
