A very long week finally climaxed in The Day That Would Not End. *G* I hate those days that seem to go on forever. Overall, it was a good one though. Had a bit of a crunch midday, but survived that without too much trouble. Thankfully. Still can't sign onto the local network to get our email though. That sucks. I'm going to be so far behind on Monday...THREE days worth of work to wade through. And that's if we actually get to sign on. *sigh*
Found out last night that our rather simple solution of going with QWest's plan that has "one phone line for your phone and one dedicated line for your computer" is not as simple as it seems. Truthfully, going by our last experiences with them, I don't find this shocking. But it's still amazingly annoying. They said that it would cost $13 for the set up outside, and then the monthly fee. No biggie. We say come on out. He comes out late (they forgot to write down the bit about work and appointments and NO one being home in the afternoon...), and says, well you didn't sign up for the inside work. WTF??? WHAT INSIDE WORK??? You mean the work we asked about several times, knowing that QWest has a habit of not mentioning all the costs and extras that are necessary?!? Yes, yes, YES. That work. Do they purposely not tell the people you sign up with about all this extra stuff?? It's ridiculous. Anyway, as it turns out, it costs $85 bucks install the damn thing. O.o They allow payments, but that is a huge amount to just spring on someone. So, now we're gonna hold off til we know if we're moving again or not. No way am I going to pay for it twice. I just see red when thinking about our phone company. I wish there was another option, but there isn't. >:(
The baby shower is tomorrow. Which is awesome, it should be loads of fun. I get to be in charge of the games, oh joy of joys. lol. They actually do sound fun though, so that's good. And easy, which is great from my pov. Wish that more of my family was able to go, but as it turns out no one's able to make it. Oh well, it'll still be great fun. I get along great with H's family, so it's not that.. ugh. Don't know. Just feeling weird tonight, I think.
ANYWAY, on to the FUN STUFF! ^__^
(But WHY can't I have one of the cool animals?!? I wanna be a Dragon. *G* Oh well, the actual description isn't bad at all...it's just Dragons are so darn cool looking. hehe)
Contrary to its rather negative reputation in the West, the Pig of Chinese Astrology may be the most generous and honorable Sign of the Zodiac. Pigs are nice to a fault and possess impeccable manners and taste. They have so much of the perfectionist in them that others may be inclined to perceive them as snobs, but this is a misconception. Pigs are simply possessed of a truly luxurious nature, one that delights in finery and riches (in surroundings, food, lovemaking and otherwise). This Sign believes in the best qualities of mankind and certainly doesn't consider itself to be superior. Pigs also care a great deal about friends and family and work hard to keep everyone in their life happy. Helping others is a true pleasure for the Pig, who feels best when everyone else is smiling.
A Pig with no one around to appreciate its giving nature is a sad sight. Pigs are so magnanimous they can appear almost saintly; this can lead some less-than-well-intentioned souls to stomp all over this Sign, and the bad news is, the Pig will take the blows! Pigs make great companions in part because of their refusal to see the more negative or base qualities in a partner, but that rose-colored view can lead to this Sign's allowing itself to be taken advantage of. Contrary to their seemingly benign dispositions, however, Pigs can be quite venomous in response to being crossed by a lover, friend or business partner.
Pigs are highly intelligent creatures, forever studying, playing and probing in their quest for greater knowledge. They can be misinterpreted as being lazy, however, due to their love of reveling in the good stuff; this Sign could happily spend hours on end making love, napping, taking a long bubble bath or dallying over an incredible spread of rich foods. Pigs tend to make wonderful life partners due to their hearts of gold and their love of family. Even so, Pigs can be rather exclusive, choosing to spend time with those who will appreciate them most and ignore the rest of the populace. Pigs would do well to realize that there's more to life than being needed. When they open up their world to a diverse group of people, they will truly bloom.
The most compatible match for a Pig is the Rabbit or the Goat.

 I taste like Bread.I am a staple in almost everyone's diet. Friends like me are a complement to any other friends I get on with almost everyone, remaining mostly in the background, but providing substance when it would otherwise be lacking. What Flavour Are You? |

Internet and Chinese astrology
The bread food thing isn't up now... darn... but I am a Horse (and it's pretty much on point, heh):
Thank goodness for open spaces, because the Horse needs plenty of room to roam! Energetic, good with money and very fond of travel, Horses are the nomads of the Chinese Zodiac, roaming from one place or project to the next. All of this Sign's incessant activity and searching may be to satisfy a deep-rooted desire to fit in. Paradoxically, Horses feel a simultaneous yearning for independence and freedom.
Horses crave love and intimacy, which is a double-edged sword since it often leads them to feel trapped. Love connections tend to come easily to Horses, since they exude the kind of raw sex appeal that is a magnet to others. This Sign tends to come on very strong in the beginning of the relationship, having an almost innate sense of romance and seduction. Horses are seducers in general; check out any A-list party and you're bound to find the Horse in attendance. This Sign possesses a sharp wit and a scintillating presence; it really knows how to work a crowd. Surprisingly, Horses tend to feel a bit inferior to their peers, a misconception that causes them to drift from group to group out of an irrational fear of being exposed as a fraud.
An impatient streak can lead Horses to be less than sensitive to others' needs. These colts would rather take a situation firmly in hand as opposed to waiting for others to weigh in or come to terms with it. The lone wolf inside the Horse can at times push others away, but this also makes this Sign stronger and is a key to its success. Horses are self-reliant and, though they might lose interest fast in a tedious, nine-to-five day job, are willing to do the work necessary to get ahead.
Horses tend not to look much at the big picture; instead they just follow their whims, which can result in a trail of prematurely ended relationships, jobs, projects and so on. This Sign really knows how to motivate others, though, and get a lot accomplished. Once they find some peace within themselves, they can curb their wandering tendencies and learn to appreciate what's in their own backyard.
