You Are Temperance

So I'm tooling around Bedtime Stories tonight, and I came across this quiz entitled What tarot card are you? I'm not really into all the whole tarot card thingy, but I decided to try the link and give it a try (since I am curious about stuff). Anyway, according to the quiz, I am Temperance.

You are Temperance
Time. Ages. Transformation. Involuntary change

Temperance is another card of aspiration, but also of much change. It often represents complex situations. Positively, you can harmonize contrary forces.
Temperance is, on a surface level, about "tempering." The original pouring from cup to cup might have been about cutting wine with water. So this is a card about moderation. There is, however, another angle to the card, that of merging seemingly impossible opposites. Sagittarius, the centaur, merges beast and man into a unique creature. And then there is the bow and arrow, one moving, one stationary, working together to point the way. Temperance may be, at first glance, a warning for you to "temper" your behavior, to cut your wine with water. But it may also be a reminder to that seemingly irreconcilable opposites may not be irreconcilable at all. Belief that fiery red and watery blue cannot be merged may be the only thing standing in the way of blending the two. Change the belief, measure out each with care, and you can create otherworldly violet.

I'm sure if I took the quiz again and gave different answers, I'd get something entirely different. But you do have to admit, things like this are kinda fun, aren't they?

Look at Them Lashes!

One of the things I love the most about my EmmyBug is her amazing eyelashes. Adam has the same long, lush, luxurious dark brown lashes. When people meet Emmy for the first time, they usually comment on her big beautiful eyes, her multitude of lashes, or a combination of the two.

Emmy had rehearsal for her ballet recital today, so she did have on a little bit of make-up. As we were standing at the check-in table, I overheard a couple of mothers talking about the little girl "over there" that was wearing the false eyelashes. I looked over at the moms just in time to catch both of them quite openly staring - almost gawking - at EmmyBug.

I caught their eyes, and smiled politely. I didn't say anything to either of the two women, but I did have a few things that ran through my brain...

Are you crazy? My daughter doesn't need false eyelashes!

Take that, you Barbie-wanna-be-bleach-bottle hussy!

My daughter has better eyelashes than you AND your spaghetti-thin, over protected weakling!

Try getting those babies from an over-priced plastic surgeon! Not gonna happen!

It's Here! It's Here!

I finally saw both trailers for Harry Potter and The Order of The Phoenix. If the trailer is only a smidgen of what we can expect from the movie, then hold onto your broom sticks! It's going to be a fantastic ride.

I've Had It!!!

I am at the point that I need a serious intervention. You know that show on A&E that follows an addict and ends with the addict's family and an interventionist telling the addict that they either accept help or accept the consequences of using drugs? For me it's not a drug addiction, it's the inability to clean. Are there interventionists for my disease?

I don't know if "Clean Sweep" is accepting applicants for any new episode, but if they are, I'm ready and willing for them to come sweep my house!

You Have GOT to be Kidding Me!

I'm tooling around on a few of my favorites, and I come across something very disturbing - think the Cialis commercial, but more terrifying. The movie-turned-Broadway-production-turned-movie-again Hairspray is being released this summer, and I just came from the website. John Travolta and Christopher Walken are portraying Edna and Wilber Turnblad, parents of the film's main character, Tracy Turnblad.

I am sorry to say that although the movie looks promising, I don't think that I am going to like it because of Travolta in a fat suit. For the life of me, I can't see anybody in that role other than Harvey Firestein (he made the Broadway production sizzle). I will have to say that the movie's saving grace will more than likely be Queen Latifah as Motormouth Maybelle. She totally rocks!

My Side of the Story

I just finished reading my hubby's blog, and I am very disturbed by his most recent posting (Adam's Blog is linked at right). What he conveniently leaves out of his story is the fact that this happens EVERY MORNING, not just today!

Adam also left out the fact that when he woke me up at 5:45 AM, he asked if his jeans were in the dryer or if I (meaning his still half-slumbering wife) needed to put them in the dryer. When I told him that they needed to be put in the dryer, he then asks me to "help" him get his breakfast and lunch ready for work today. I'll do the dryer, but I'm not traipsing downstairs to fix his food for him. The sun's still down, for cryin' out loud!!! He should be happy that I set the coffee machine for this morning.

Isn't it amazing how certain details are omitted when different people tell the same story? Shocking!

Caught Red Handed!

The Soda Thief strikes again! Don't you just love the look on Jilly's face? It's like she's saying "What do you mean I have to ask first?" She's just too cute for her own good.
