And it's such a goodie. And we all know, I have a gypsy soul.

Just in case you wanted to know too much about me
I did a little digging on my astro-analysis chart and was amused at how accurate it is. Here's a tidbit on what my chart said:
December 18 1983
1:00 PM Time Zone is CST
Cape Girardeau, MO
Rising Sign is in 19 Degrees Aries
You are a free spirit and you must be first at everything you do. Very energetic, self-assertive and active, things must be done your way. Even though you may feel calm and serene on the inside, you certainly do not act that way. You want to do everything full-tilt, 100 miles per hour! A great competitor, but a poor cooperator -- you must learn how to lose more gracefully. Very self-confident, ambitious and passionate, you radiate positive energy. You are blunt and direct, but at times unfeeling and tactless, especially if anyone offers you any resistance. You fight for your beliefs, but your tendency to act first and think later often causes you much grief.
Sun is in 26 Degrees Sagittarius.
Very fun-loving, spirited and energetic, you have a huge reservoir of physical energy within you that needs to be released. As such, exercise or sports are very important to you. Quite gregarious, you enjoy being with other people, but you tend to avoid emotionally restrictive or intimate relationships. Constantly curious about the broader issues of life, you may at times be quite careless and sloppy about details -- you tend to leap to conclusions before all the facts are in. An avid reader, you are totally enthusiastic about any given subject should it interest you. You are known for being idealistic, generous, sociable, cheerful and very positive!
Moon is in 09 Degrees Gemini.
Restless in the extreme, you are easily bored because of your short attention span. Your emotions change rapidly and you love to talk about your feelings. Generally, you have good judgment -- your intellect controls your emotions and you do not overreact emotionally to things. A good jack-of-all-trades, you have many- sided interests and enjoy reasoning things through. With your mental agility and need for physical mobility, you are attracted to traveling and learning about other peoples and cultures. You have vivid powers of emotional self-expression - - you can be a nonstop talker. You love to share your ideas with anyone who will listen.
Venus is in 14 Degrees Scorpio.
Your feelings about others are deep, powerful, intense and complex. When you like someone, you do so totally and obsessively if you do not like someone, they do not exist. Your faithfulness and loyalty to your lover is unquestioned, indeed at times it is too much so -- you get so possessive that you almost smother your partner. At times, your feelings are kept deep within you and, because they are so complex and intense, they frighten you -- this is the way that you try to ignore them. But the more you try to do this, the more explosive things get when you eventually do express them.
Jupiter is in 22 Degrees Sagittarius.
You have a very strong sense of ethics and morality. You are widely read and may also be widely traveled because you are sincerely interested in expanding your knowledge of the world about you. At times, you have an annoying tendency to be self-righteous and preachy about your belief system. You are usually quite idealistic and you demand the right to be able to explore the entire world of experiences yourself. Remember to grant others the similar right -- be tolerant, not dogmatic.
Saturn is in 12 Degrees Scorpio.
You tend to release emotional energies only very reluctantly. This is partly due to your fear of what horrible calamity might occur should they be released -- your emotions are terribly complicated and intense. Try not to repress these energies entirely, however, or you will succumb to negative and destructive forms of compulsive behavior. Give yourself the freedom to look awkward or silly once in a while. The relief you feel will be quite therapeutic and the embarrassment (whether it is real or imagined) will pass quickly.
N. Node is in 15 Degrees Gemini.
You will consciously seek out many different contacts with others throughout your life. Many of these will be of very short duration, not necessarily because you're fickle, but just because you always seem to be more excited by the prospect of meeting someone new rather than prolonging your present relationships. At any rate, you will learn something new from almost everyone you come across -- intellectual stimulation is what you crave from others. You will be well known to neighbors and relatives, partly due to your curiosity about what they're doing -- you delight in keeping up-to-date about the latest news (and gossip).

Bye Bye Blondie!
After a couple months of hardcore debate, I pulled this trigger yesterday. Being a blondie was fun and I thoroughly enjoyed the run, but the return of rocking my brunette locks was a good idea. I find it flattering and I feel fresh.
Ill post some before and after manana! In the meantime...

Vueve Clicquot Polo Match
Check out this photo. Pretty neat how the tents make the treetops resemble wine glasses. Artistical.
Mark Twain was a wise, wise man.
That may be in part because he's a Missourian. But, there's also a slight chance I may be partial.
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.Explore. Dream. Discover.”- Mark Twain |

Best of the best
There is a lot of good in the world. But here in MAMsWorld, I'm on a hunt for the best. Best of anything. If it's the best, I want to see it. Here's a contender for best motivational quote to branch out, be something else, stray from the norm, and having the courage to dare to be different.
"Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers. The round heads in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status-quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify, or vilify them. But the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do."
-Jack Kerouac

While Listening to "Knock Knock Knocking of Heaven's Door"....
I stumbled upon a little piece of Heaven while on my AM run on the East River....That is if Heaven is anywhere near New York...and anywhere near the East side.

Love is like a butterfly. The more you run after it, the more it will elude you, but if you still your mind and focus on other things, it will fly right back to you ;-) Unknown

Very funny!
From Wikipedia on the definition of 'Hominid Development':
"...the only adaptation which has allowed a species to establish complete domination over the rest of the natural world. Whether the human species has yet acquired sufficient intelligence to manage this responsibility is a matter of debate."

MISSOURI LOVE

When tragedies such as this strike, the shadow of it lingers far after its gone. We should all do what we can to help these people get their lives back. There are several local charities that will see that your donations go directly to the cause. God is always listening too, so please pray for them.
