The Lunar Eclipse is happening behind the clouds.

It's challenging to understand your own feelings today as the Gemini Lunar Eclipse polarizes your 12th House of Fantasy. Although your emotions may be quite intense, frustration is high because words can't express what you want. Don't try so hard to get your message across now. It will be much easier to say what you want tomorrow after the Moon enters your sign and you can speak from your heart.

I'm not sure my emotions are "intense" - more like scattered, but the words can't express part is on the money. We'll see if this is "much easier" tomorrow.

I am planning 2012, but that would be easier if I knew what I really wanted besides HAVE A REFRIGERATOR THAT MAKES USABLE ICE CUBES. (Sorry, I took something out of the freezer this evening and it was definitely not frozen, and the ice is melted together into an ugly ice sculpture again, and damn, I really hope this is finally fixed on Monday.) The new year is right around the corner, and there are good things on the horizon - things I won't talk about yet, but good things. And (as far as I know) there are no babies, weddings or moves looming next year. After my son's wedding I posted something on FB about how both my kids are now happily married off, and Cousin S posted that it was my time to party like a rock star! And I thought, who, me? It just may be that this will be the year I focus on myself? Do I even remember how? After a decade of lurching from crisis to disaster to happy moments in which I always played the supporting role, how exactly do I go about putting myself first? I'm thinking 2012 needs to be my Year of ME FIRST. We'll see if I can figure out how to do that.

The dogs are LOVING the new neighborhood, because it has lots of friendly people who adore them and call them by name and fuss over them, and of course they are eating this up, because they are so attention-deprived it's tragic (says the woman who has individual dog names on her Christmas list and shops for each one like they are four-legged children/grandchildren). I think I need to model myself on the dogs - they expect the Universe to send them all the petting and treats and soft beds and sunshine they want, and they get exactly what they expect.

    And our friend's dogs get their own Christmas cards, sent on behalf of our dogs. Doesn't eveyone do this??

    Best of luck with the refrigerator.

  2. Yes. Live like a dog! Treat yourself like a dog. I've always said - if I could, I'd want to come back as a Haile Dog. LOL

    Love it that you have secrets up your sleeve and Can't Wait to hear about your very own 2012

  3. Rockhound friends used to tell the toy poodle devotees in the crowd that when they died, they wanted to come back as one of our toy poodless.

    Oh yes, let this next year be The Year of Catherine, and it's bloddie well time! Go for it!
