I found out yesterday you can send email get well wishes to Barbaro in care of the University of Pennsylvania Veterinary Medicine website. He’s VERY popular.

Today’s horoscope:

“Your ego will suddenly be under attack by someone you thought was a reliable supporter. (Well, that bites!) What is really going on is a test of what you can handle. (Like I haven’t had enough tests already this year?) The best way to manage with these forces today is to let them know that you are toughening up. (Hah! Take that! )”

Much to my surprise, I wrote almost a full page last night. Go, me!

Last night was pretty much a loss as far as television goes. But tonight is the two-hour season finale of Lost. We’re supposed to get a bunch of answers, so we shall see.

Or the Brawl in the Hall. Did you see the two Czech politicians that got into a fist fight at a health conference over the weekend? One of the guys started to make his speech, then said he had some business to take care of whereupon he walked over to one of the other panelists and popped him a good one! It pretty much went downhill from there, except for the entertainment value.

Oooo! I just read that Sony has signed a deal with the guy who did the screenplay for The Da Vinci Code to do the prequel Angels & Demons.

Barbaro is still doing better than expected, though it’s still pretty dicey. Poor baby has 23 screws in his leg now. Makes my leg hurt just thinking about it!

Why is it spaghetti always tastes better when you reheat it the next day? We had it for dinner Saturday night, and then again for lunch yesterday. It tasted way better at lunch.

But onward!

Fairly good news on Barbaro this morning. He came through surgery well, woke up calmly and seems to be doing well. So keep your fingers crossed that he continues to improve.

An interesting post yesterday from April Kihlstrom on Believing in Yourself. I’m going to try her suggestion.

Today’s horoscopes:

“Too much hard work, not to mention stress, could be taking its toll on you physically today. (Heck, I’ve been feeling this way for a week!) However, that isn’t likely to stop you from working very intently and energetically on a project that particularly fascinates you. (:rofl: Yeah, right. And pigs will fly. ) This enterprise could be job-related, or it might be a personal project of your own, but whatever it is, it’s apt to surprise you with the turn it takes. (Can it be both?) It might not be anything like what you’d planned! (I’m not sure if that’s good or bad….) Go to it!”

And then there’s this one:

“Stop being such an eager puppy (Woof, woof! LOL!) and play it like a cool cat. You gain someone’s interest when you learn to hold back just a little. A sense of mystery never hurt anyone’s prospects in love or business. (I vant to be alone…)”
