Dear Santa... Dear Santa, This year I've been busy! Last week I put money in 6_and_66's expired parking meter (14 points). Last Tuesday I gave blackwolfalpha1 a Dutch Oven (-10 points). In July I broke jenova_silver's X-Box (-12 points). Last Friday I ate my brussel sprouts (1 points). Last Monday I gave gconnor a life-saving blood transfusion (50 points). Overall, I've been nice (43 points). For Christmas I deserve a red Radio-Flyer wagon! Sincerely, rogue_pixel

Rising Sign is in 01 Degrees Pisces
Very sensitive to your surroundings, other people's feelings become your feelings. Try to avoid negative people because your tendency to empathize with them will make you negative also. An idealist, you must believe in something beyond your normal everyday existence. A dreamer, you like to escape to a world of your own creation. As such, you are known for the vividness of your imagination and should try to share your inner visions with others. Very self-sacrificial by nature, beware of others becoming overly dependent on you or vice versa. Allow yourself to live for yourself once in a while -- you deserve it. Don't be so envious of those who are more aggressive than you -- your gentle charity and true humility are indeed wonderful gifts. on the tenth house cusp (MIDHEAVEN).

Sun is in 00 Degrees Libra.
Very sociable, you enjoy being with others and definitely prefer not be alone. Warm and affectionate, you go out of your way to make others like you. You despise ugliness, for you being surrounded by beauty and harmony is a necessity of life. You prefer fine clothing, an attractive home and pleasant surroundings wherever you are. Your refined tastes apply to music and to art as well. At times, you are very indecisive you waver and falter when forced to make a choice because you have the ability to see both sides of any question. The positive part of this is that you are very fair-minded and can be trusted to settle disputes. Your greatest challenge is to take any one- on-one encounter and make the most of it.

Moon is in 09 Degrees Libra.
Affectionate, warm and friendly, life must be a "beautiful" experience for you. Unpleasantness should be avoided at all costs. You tend to overlook other people's faults and you would rather give in than fight. You are uncomfortable with strangers, but at ease and sociable with friends and associates. Indeed, you would rather socialize than work -- you can use your prodigious charm to avoid unpleasant tasks. You need the support and assistance of another in order to get you started on any new project -- you are not a self-starter. Be careful of a tendency to be overly self-indulgent (i.e., lazy). Your refined aesthetic sensibilities attract you to music, dance, art and any other cultured activity.

Mercury is in 24 Degrees Libra.
You are known for not jumping to conclusions about things. You tend to weigh all possible choices very carefully before making a decision. When in the slightest amount of doubt, you will compromise rather than ruffle any feathers. You are a true raconteur of culture and taste -- your ideas and opinions are neat, elegant and refined. A born diplomat, you dislike discord so much that you will go out of your way to make others feel comfortable and at ease. You speak softly and pleasantly.

Venus is in 08 Degrees Libra.
A very friendly and outgoing person, you hate to be alone. Beware of a continuing tendency to compromise yourself in order to avoid being lonely. Try to be yourself, not what others would like you to be. You have an innate desire to be in refined and elegant surroundings and will go out of your way to create a plush and comfortable atmosphere around you. You have heightened aesthetic sensibilities and are attracted to music and the arts. Try to avoid using your well-known seductive charm in order to get out of doing what you consider to be dirty work!

Mars is in 20 Degrees Virgo.
Very careful and systematic, you pay great attention to details. You are always seeking perfection and sometimes get bogged down searching for the ultimate when adequacy would have been sufficient. You dislike abstractions, preferring whatever is practical, useful and demonstrable. You have a strong and enduring sense of personal responsibility, and you demand that others be as responsible and upright as you are. Very critical of yourself and others, sometimes you carry this too far and become overly intolerant of others and their right to choose their own lifestyles.

Jupiter is in 27 Degrees Aries.
The way that you grow and develop is by being an uncompromising individualist. You have a great need to be yourself and to explore your latent talents and abilities. Do not be afraid to let yourself go and develop self-confidence and pride in your accomplishments. But try not to become so self-centered that you ignore the needs of others. Also, you may have to build up your self-discipline in order to focus your energies properly.

Saturn is in 15 Degrees Sagittarius.
Basically quite conservative, you respect traditional authority figures and are very thankful and supportive of the laws and institutions which govern your life. You learn and accept new ideas only after having very thoroughly examined them. Ideals and abstract concepts are important to you only if they can be used in some practical fashion. You are so practical and so orderly that you have natural skills in planning, administrating and organizing.

Uranus is in 22 Degrees Sagittarius.
You, and most of your peers, have the tendency to think that all ideas, customs and traditions from the past are outmoded and irrelevant. You are attracted to radically new ideas, philosophies and religions that will, hopefully, cause sweeping changes throughout the world.

Neptune is in 05 Degrees Capricorn.
You, and your entire generation, will idealize work, practicality and the ability to attain reasonable goals. But, because you will also stress the need to be selfless and giving, you may find it difficult to attain your goals unless you have lowered your expectations on all fronts.

Pluto is in 08 Degrees Scorpio.
For your entire generation, this is a period of intense research and discovery in areas that were heretofore considered mysterious, remote or taboo. The root causes for many complex occurrences will be unearthed due to the intensity and thoroughness of the search.

N. Node is in 02 Degrees Aries.
You're at your most comfortable when involved in group activities outside of your immediate family circle. You delight in getting involved with others in neighborhood civic or political activities, especially if you can be a part of the leadership of the group. Your zeal and overabundant energy bring out your real creativity when you can work toward tangible results -- things that will immediately benefit those around you. You have a real gift for getting the most out of charity drives and community benefits. Take time out between projects though, because you tire out easily and your effectiveness becomes greatly diminished when your energy is depleted. Also, don't even think of trying to get involved at a peripheral level -- you need a total commitment to feel personally fulfilled. Let others bake the cookies and set up the chairs -- you should be the one to tell everyone what to do and when to do it!

Sometimes I feel like I'm cheating by reading my daughters lj... Like I'm reading some secret diary. But then, I figure.... I wont treat her any differently than my friends, I wont go wacko at what I might read.

I'm sooo tired... next friday.. I'm off but I have to go to the hospital for some tests. The following friday I go get a transfusion at another hospital. One day at a time... one day at a time.

This week's been rather crappy and I'm trying to see just the good side of it. Just more hurdles of life to jump over and then be surprised and pleased that I could?

This summer.... just when do you count summer as starting? First Friday in June I'm getting another iron transfusion. They didn't want to wait so long, but it's hard to be a new person at a job and have to start telling them that you're going to start needing sick days or personal days. Blood Doc is unhappy that I have to have it again... everytime he does it I run the risk of rejecting it or getting an alergic reaction. He says... get rid of the source of the bleeding. So..... over to my gyn.... going to have to have the hystorectomy. And she is pretty certain that with the fibroids inside it that they'll have to go through my abdomen. Great! Truly.. maybe I can get my hernia repaired at the same time?!?! Maybe..... I can get them to give me a tummy tuck too?? hehee. Really... if I can get that done I'd be so happy! losing over 170 lbs after having 4 kids has really left it's mark... it's not pretty. But maybe... maybe... *wishes* I think if I can get all the ducks in the right row this might be as much a health benefit to me as a physiological, aesthetic and emotionl benefit!! GAwd... as long as it's the last time I need to be cut open! PLEASE!!

Some people kinda sneer about the problems I'm having.. they say I shouldn't have had the gastric surgery... but I totally feel different. So far all these problems have solutions. Being morbidly obese is not living, and there was only the one solution to me. Screw everyone and their "coudln't you just diet?" cuz I had dieted my way up to the weight I was. The body adjusts.... and you really do hit a point where you just can't lose the weight. So I chose to trade it for problems that have other solutions. I do still consider myself VERY lucky... I truly have small side effects. These are not major ones. The uterine problems were there before the surgery... not caused by them. And at this point... I will happily end my periods. Oh yes! anyways... my life is my own and I am so proud of the courage and changes that having the surgery has brought out in me.

I am rambling....

Went to counselor with mate.... got things on the record... one more step at freeing myself from the guilt and worry about my choices in that realm. One day... I truly will be a free spirit and totally self sufficient. Heck..... *thinks to herself* I already am there... but the relationship for the kids needs to be set in a good role before I can fully believe that.

tata... thanks for reading my rambling. And name change poll.... I am who I am here.. and if it should ever need changing.. then so be it. But I'm am not leaving that part of me...so.. mmm...
anyways.

Thank you kasen... and my knight... without loving support like you give me, I would still be a floudering drama queen asking "why me???"

probably not my most liberal moment... but you know what? If you want to be an american citizen.. do it like every other person from every other country in the world who wants to come here.

So... my stand on this.. don't boycott shopping.. don't skip work or school.

Cute huh?

I think I'm finally done jumping through hoops.. or hope so!

Yesterday on the way home from work, on the way to St. Anne's actually, to get my arm xrayed... in the frigging middle of Collingwood Blvd with tons of traffic my car suddenly stoped moving. Broken tie-rods. peopla were CRAZY around me, beeping, swerving.. yelling.. I called road assistance and then 911 to get a cop there to do something to block traffic. Then this guy from the towing company I called and this.. young dopey surfer dude guy ran over... physically pushed my wheels into place while I put it in reverse and got it into a parking lot. I LOVE nice people!! Mega karma points to them! Damage done.. got my car back today.. I'm so frigging broke... have loans out on my next 2 paychecks. ugh!!

I finally made it to the hospital to get my xray.. and guess what? They didn't get the order from my Doc. Mrrr.... So I've decided I don't care.. they'll only put it in a splinty thing if it is.. so I'm just gonna take it easy and let it heal... I've been through this before and don't want to bother going back.

I pushed myself to own up to some mistakes I knew I'd made at work.... that's embaressing and... so frustrating.. I know how to do what I did now.. but when i did it before.. it was wrong. Boss is way nice about it... i guess i'm still considered a 'newbie' so allowed some mistakes. Just hard as I want to be PERFECT!!! Otherwise though.. i really like the group of women I work with, and the agents we interact with. There are (counts) 7 of us women.... and interestingly enough... we're all uniquly different. They are all really nice too... so far i've not seen any.. snipping or discord. Very professional group, but guess that's why the company is so hard to get into... they are very selective. I'm probably the weirdest one if they only knew... but it's nice as I'm not the quietest one.. there is one who is *very* shy and quiet. I'm not the oldest... and .. just all fit in. It's nice.

Friday.... I can't wait till friday!!

My brothers birthday. :)

A day I wont have to repeat for another 2 years, as I renewed my crp/first aid certification... yipee... May 1st I'll be an official Metroparks Trail Patrol volunteer!! Get to make sure people pick up their doggie doo. hehee. I look forward to it.

Another reminder of why I need to be self sufficient.. and not call my mate in an emergency. Left my headlights on... so my car battery died.. called him, he threw a BLOODY ASS fit... my jump pack didn't seem to be working, and finally after about 20 minutes of charging my car did indeed start! Called back mate.. told him he didn't have to come after all (40 min drive) and just that time Ricky Ranger's showed up and would have given me a jump. So.... yup.. make sure my jump pack is always charged, and only call people who wont bitch at me when I need them.

I am wondering if I broke my arm last night... slipped down our downstairs... landed on my ass and forarms.. which are now bruised and rug burned.. but my right one hurts. mmmrrr... And now that old wives tail of if you can use it, it's not broken, is NOT true. I learned that last time when I broke my left arm bones.

Also am wondering if I'm developing dry socket in my stupid tooth hole. mrrr...

Otherwise.. its SUNNY and warm and gorgeous! unfortunatly it's sunday and my weekend is pretty much over. waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

*dances in circles*

Your Love Life Secrets Are

Looking back on your life, you will only have one true love. You're a little scarred from your past relationships, but who isn't? You prefer a quirky, unique person to be your lover. You're easy going about who you're with, as long as they love you back. In fights, you love to debate and defend yourself. You logic prevails - or at least you'd like to think so. Getting over a break-up doesn't take long. Easy come, easy go.

Your Eyes Should Be Brown

Your eyes reflect: Depth and wisdom What's hidden behind your eyes: A tender heart

Your Values Profile

Loyalty: You value loyalty a fair amount. You're loyal to your friends... to a point. But if they cross you, you will reconsider your loyalties. Staying true to others is important to you, but you also stay true to yourself. Honesty: You don't really value honesty. You do value getting your way, no matter what. And if a little lying is required to do that, no problem. A few white lies never hurt anyone (at least, that's what you tell yourself!) Generosity: You value generosity a fair amount. You are all about giving, as long as there's some give and take. Supportive and kind, you don't mind helping out a friend in need. But you know when you've given too much. You have no problem saying "no"! Humility: You value humility highly. You have the self-confidence to be happy with who you are. And you don't need to seek praise to make yourself feel better. You're very modest, and you're keep the drama factor low. Tolerance: You value tolerance highly. Not only do you enjoy the company of those very different from you... You do all that you can to seek it out interesting and unique friends. You think there are many truths in life, and you're open to many of them.

Well I think it's wrong about honesty.... I value honest probably most of anything. oh well...

ok, I've found out, not only are fridays frantic.. but a friday BEFORE the first day of the month is insurance industry HELL. All week my agent wanted last minute changes, that had to be quoted and back by today so they could bind the deal before tomorrow!!! WTF?!?! ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I've also got to learn that every great policy quoted, no matter how much time and effort you put into it.. isn't going to sell. :( I gotta not take it personally... I can only give the figures that the quoting company can give.. I had forgotten in a few short months how much detail goes into the background of insurance stuff. Accounting.. numbers and percentages.. and reading reports... analizing details.. comparing documents... blah blah blah. Wow. I am still boggled at how much BIG companies pay for their insurance. My yearly salary would be a *cheap* premium to many of these companies! Imagine.. some businesses spend hundreds of thousands of dollars a year just to cover their asses in case they are sued! I had a funny moment today... end of day.. tired.. worked from 8 - 5 with no lunch... and while writting up an earthquake policy I put a max claim limit of $10,000 with a $25,000 deductible. OOPS.. forgot a set of three zeros.. hehe... I saw it right away but i had to laff at myself.

Got paid again.. yay.. i can make my mortgage payment! hehe. Oh and had a good thing happen... it was only spark plug wires bad with my car, so now that they've been replaced it's purring along again. poor little car... it looks down right pathetic in the employee parking lot, but damn it's still got 6 lives left yet!

I miss my sweetie...... *sighs* Sometimes I wish I could just curl up next to him and feel protected in his arms. I'm fighting the "you never make time for me" thing again.... :'(
