CORRECTION: Disaster averted - it's today. I'm bad at this stuff.

I just realized that *yesterday* was my grandma's birthday. I've never not called her on her birthday, but usually I have a little familial assistance in remembering the date.

So... now what?

Any brilliant ideas for how I can make it up to her today?

We have not passed that subtle line between childhood and adulthood until we move from the passive voice to the active voice - that is, until we have stopped saying 'It got lost,' and say, 'I lost it.' -Sydney J. Harris, journalist (1917-1986)

Gateway kind of gives me hives, and the reviews show a lot of faulty machines out there, but it looks like the price is right if you get a good one. I dunno. I think I'm starting to get to that dangerous information/options overload point where I'm inclined to stop looking and just buy something. Probably time for a break then.

Just in case you were wondering:

The Five Love Languages

My primary love language is probably
Quality Time
with a secondary love language being
Physical Touch.

Complete set of results

Quality Time: 11
Physical Touch: 6
Acts of Service: 5
Words of Affirmation: 5
Receiving Gifts: 3


Information

Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.

Take the quiz

In what world is soda water with a squeeze of lime an acceptable holiday alternative to a cup of eggnog with a shot of rum?

I don't even like eggnog, and I know that's not a fair trade.

Does anyone want to come over tonight and just, like, hang out or something?

There could be food making, or scrabble, or a movie, or you just hanging around while I quilt.

I just don't feel like being alone, but I don't really want to go out either.

Capricorn:

The planet Saturn symbolizes the preservative and conservative tendencies of evolution. It teaches us to learn from the past and keeps us from rushing into the frontier before we're ready. Uranus, on the other hand, represents future shocks, both the disturbing and benevolent kinds. It disturbs our sleep in order to wake us up and energizes us to reinvent ourselves on the fly. What happens when these two planets slip into an intimate dynamic, as they are now? Will one of them prevail over the other in a great battle? Or will they coordinate their efforts artfully in a riveting, gorgeous dance? Amazingly enough, the outcome depends in part on you.

Pisces:

Uranus symbolizes your instinct for freedom, your drive to express your dormant genius, and your attunement with your intuition. Saturn represents structure and responsibility; when it's prominent, it's time to get back to basics and cut down on distractions and excesses. So what should you do when these two planets are in exact opposition, as they are now? Here's one hint: We're all being squeezed between a mandate to head to the frontier and the pressure to play it safe. To keep from being paralyzed, some of us may have to choose one way over the other. In my opinion, you Pisceans are likely to profit by choosing the Uranian path.
