True stories

I printed off the "If today is your birthday" blurb (it's on the Internet; it must be true) and was about to read the whole thing with pen in hand -- not because I believe in it, but because I thought it would make for good material...

and it was last year's.

So let's first see if it was at all true.

"2007 is a year...of work and development.... Sometimes, it can be a year that feels hard, monotonous and routine...Advice: get yourself organized, work to build your resources, keep busy."

Wish I'd read that last year. Is it ethical to slap an astrologist?

"You derive satisfaction from a job well done, especially if you can readily attach meaning to it."
"This is an excellent year to focus on what really matters."

"This is a good year...to get and feel organized. At time, you may be so focused and determined that you seem obsessive."

"This is a year of... healing past wounds that may have been undermining your attitude towards relationships now."

"You are more friendly, optimistic, and big-hearted than usual."

"Something tiny can trigger all sorts of buried emotions, and this can be very revealing!"

OK, enough clip show. What about 2008?

"This is a year of exploration and freedom. It's a time when exploration and reaching out to others brings opportunities. It's a good time to advertise and sell. Surprises are in store, and the routine is broken. This is a year when exciting relationships can be formed, or...new life is breathed into the relationship."

Good, because I pretty much wasted last year.

PS - How you know you're a Mill Girl for real.

Your birthday is on a Saturday. And somehow you are still working.

Don't call me. I'm not home.
