The other day one of my assistants at the office read me something off the computer. It was a description of me....and she even listed my faults. What! I asked why she wrote about me and put it on the computer...and do I get an opportunity to do the same to her?
She told me it was the characteristics of my astrological sign Libra.
Wow! I have never really paid any attention to astrology. Freddy and I sometimes read our horoscope out of the paper but it is just for fun. Well today I did a little research into astrology and the sign Libra.
And it was scary....
Librans are known for lower back and visceral problems - check
The sign is the 'scale' because they seek balance and fairness - check
They have a very long fuse but when they do get upset they are a force of nature - check
They are very gentle and use charm to get what they want. Oh man! My secret is OUT!
They love to talk - repeat they love to talk :)
They are charming and irresistable - did you hear that Freddy?
They strive for balance in their lives and can be quite hard to handle when they get off balance. Anybody ever try to hang out with me when I haven't exercised for a couple days or when I am tired ? It isn't pretty.
They are the fixers....anything out of whack drives them crazy. Ummm YES
They have a 'soft' nature and like comfortable things...furnishings and clothes (that's true - I will not wear ANYTHING that is not comfortable - I tried on 50 wedding dresses before I found a comfortable one)
They think in relative terms instead of the absolute - ha I even called my blog "The Truth for Now" because I change my mind so many times!!
They are known as the 'thinker'. They think about everything. I don't know how many times my family members and friends have told me to quit 'thinking about it so much'.
On the dark side the Libran is indecisive (oh yeah) and constantly changing her surroundings and routines (dental assistants can I get an amen!). They are constantly seeking the 'best way' to do something.
They are also gullable - hate to admit it but yes I am.... only because I want to see the best in everyone. My poor husband and sister spend a lot of time watching out for me to make sure people do not take advantage of me.
I read descriptions of the other signs and laughed when I realized they do describe the people I know. Google your sign and see if I am wrong...I am interested in your input (as any Libran is!)
Okay maybe this isn't new to you and I have no idea how I reached my 40's without knowing this stuff however I think it is good to know. Assuming it is true. I can't figure out how it couldn't be-and you know I have done a lot of thinking about this. This answers a lot of questions but also could allow one to avoid responsiblity for their actions. Okay I have to go and think about this some more - those of you who know me realize that I will have a totally different opinion about this whole topic tomorrow....

Wrinkle cream-yes Depends-NO!
I am having a midlife crisis. At first I wasn't enjoying it at all. However, now I am having fun.
It started about a year ago. I don't know what precipitated it - the feelings came on very suddenly. It began when I realized I was relating with the woman on the wrinkle cream commercial. I had always ignored those commercials before - I didn't think they applied to me ...the mirror is telling me differently.
I will be very depressed when the Depends commericals apply to me - hopefully that will be a while yet.
I also noticed it when I went to see a doctor about a nagging pain in my elbow. In walks this 20-something looking guy who asked me to flex my arm while he evaluated my elbow. He was a kid! Doctors are supposed to be heavy-set and graying on top....you know - OLDER THAN ME!
He seemed very knowledgable though and definitely not bad to look at - hmmm I reconsidered. I thought maybe I could enjoy this 'younger doctor relationship' ..until he gazed into my eyes with his big brown incredibly long eyelashed self and stated "you're not as young as you used to be Mrs. Williams. It may be time to slow down just a bit." Wow just slap what little ego I had left right out of me!
Well that sucks! Here I am in the prime of my life. My kids are somewhat self-sufficient now and I have a little free time on my hands. I am pissed! I don't want to slow down.
I used to laugh at my husband because a couple of years ago he quit jumping out of bed and racing to the bathroom. Now he sits on the edge of the bed for a second then gingerly takes a couple of steps until his body realigns before heading to the shower. Well the joke is on me now as I take a ten minute hot shower every morning encouraging this foreign body I now reside in to function.
Well I decided I am not slowing down! Besides when the aches and pains get too bad I can at least look forward to a visit with the hot twenty-something doctor!!!
