Horoscopes

I don't live my life by horoscopes, yet sometimes I find them rather humorous, especially when they are spot on. This was my horoscope a couple of years ago.

If January 22nd is your birthday: You prefer things "just so." Also, once you have your ideas set, you seldom change your mind. These traits can make you stubborn to a fault. You are a very persevering person and always complete what you start. An organizer extraordinaire, you know how to get things done. People always know they can count on you to follow through. You have a nontraditional outlook and win people over with your combination of uniqueness and dependability.

So, this was Kristen's horoscope on her birthday:

If April 19 is your birthday: Big dreams require big efforts, but this year you don't need to worry about having enough stamina and determination to see any major ambition through to the end. Past mistakes could spoil your efforts in June. (Doesn't that pretty much say you can be lazy all year long?")

Her actual horoscope for the day said in part: You may feel the need to be argumentative and bossy, but you should pay attention to your own business rather than others.... (her sisters would second that idea).

I think since Kristen has mastered the whole potty training gig (my big dream), she's pretty much in for smooth sailing this year. Not bad when you're three...except for June. Something's up there.
