11:52 AM - Bluopatra Current mood: happy Category: Fashion, Style, Shopping Here's Blu in her Halloween costume. Cleopatra. Or Bluopatra as I called her. She's a platinum blonde, so the dark hair is a result of black hairspray. I used the whole can, but you can still see some goldylocks. The dress was a simple gold sheath with a yellow one under it. White yoga pants for warmth and gym use.The armband stickers were vetoed after first application. The snake armbands were demoted to anklets after they too were deemed "funny feeling"; but are not visible in the photo. Pretty good for Mommy starting at 9 o'clock last night, isn't it? Her first costume was a CIA agent, but she changed ideas me 2 weeks ago. lol In the 3rd photo, I included tht house bear in the shot. She turns the "Go Away/Welcome" sign when ever we are gone/at home. Just a funny tidbit.

My big cat tries to make himself small.
My shallow cat tries to flesh out his soul.
What's left to lead me to smile?

That's all I have, so far.

I listen to Jamie Cullum all the time, you should too.
One of my favorite songs of the last 2 years is his "All At Sea".
I find a little bit of peace when I tune it in and tune the world out, just as if I was all alone at sea.

Daily Horoscope - Overview For Today: October 22, 2007

Today is much more about life's small pleasures than about huge successes or long-term planning. In fact, you're much better off just slowing down or even taking some time off from regular activities.

For Today: October 22, 2007 That friend of yours wants to hear it straight, but you sense hesitancy. Are they really ready for brutal honesty? Temper your comments with kindness and compassion. Don't needlessly hurt their feelings.


I think the "friend of mine" is really myself.
This weekend I was told that I make someone think of me as quartz and Johnson grass; and that I have a spirit doing figure 8s revolving around myself.
This is soooo true, for many reasons. Thank you for the observations.
This week is going to be about taking care of me and mine, and some snowglobe gazing. It's all about life's small pleasures right now. Maybe I'll buy some more capers, I've been out for a while.

Ohhhh.... yeah! That's what I'm talking about!
But some of the people that I'd love to talk to, or need to talk to, are unavailable.
I'll say that it's their loss, and maybe someone else's gain. Cowgirl up!

Well, well, well...... What is in store for me? My social energy had been all over the place this week. I've been full of celebration, elation, scared out of my mind, in the bellies of despair, distraught, excited, disappointed, fearful, focused and scatter-brained.

You and an authority figure clash at one point in the day -- or maybe your own authority is questioned by someone who really ought to know better. Try not to lose patience, as things should improve pretty soon.

Dear Tara,
Here is your single's love horoscope
for Wednesday, October 17:

Avoid the temptation to corral your pals. You're feeling bossy and overly organized. The problem is, your friends will resist the pressure. Instead, loosen up and let life take its course. Don't be so quick to plan.


The first one is funny, because I am bossy at times, but I am trying to overcome my superiority complex. The second one..... too late! Already planned something, and my friends couldn't resist! I heart them.

If you know me at all, you know that I have always been intrigued by elephants.
Tarra is an Asian now living in Tennessee. On all of my visits to that state, I never knew I was that close. But they are not open to the public, understandably so. It's a center for troubled and retired pachyderms.
One of the most interesting comments I've heard this week was "For as thick as elephant's hides are, they are remarkable thin skinned."The Elephant Sanctuary in Hohenwald, Tennessee
