"If you were born March 7: The year ahead may be the best one ever if you take advantage of the wisdon in your hands right now. Plan ahead, as you are more far-seeing than usual. you are aware of the abundant potential in new situations that arise both now and again in May and August. It is possible to find the job of your dreams and forge the romantic partnership you have awlays fanaticized about in the coming months."

I'm usually not one for horoscopes, but I do make it a point to check on my birthday to see what the local newspaper's horoscope says about me for the year ahead. In this case, I'll take it. I know I'm going to have to do some serious work to get out from where we are, and that's alright by me. The part about "the job of my dreams" sounds a bit far-fetched, but I will not look that gift horse in the mouth -- in fact, just about any better paying, better benefitting job would be okay by me.

And while Bonn is certainly the romatic partner I've been searching for, I'm at least hoping they meant "fantasized" and not "fanaticized". ("...and forge the romantic partnership you have always psychotically obsessed over.")

It was a quiet evening. Bonn worked on the catch to a bracelet for most of the day, stopping before I got home to make dinner and a birthday cake. We had initally decided to wait and do some minor celebrating this weekend, but she knows I've always had something of a soft spot for my birthday. So, between Ani making a rare bid for my lap for part of the evening and Idol , 24 (do you realize it's been over 6 hours since Jack has killed anyone? I don't care how many people he killed in the hostage rescue, his stats are falling way off) and The Daily Show, it was nice and uneventful.

The Boy even wrote earlier in the day to say he thought he had his finacial aide for the Fall already taken care of. Bonn and I were both stunned. His stay over the last week saw him in the best spirits we've seen him in in years. He's not exactly what I would call happy by any stretch of the word, but at least he's able to look on the positive side of things and smile every now and then. He's really come a long way in the past year.

For those of you interested in photography and the photographed image, I've posted a new concept over at photoconcept. In honor of the Ides of March, it's Eyes.

Share and Enjoy.
