My "OOOOUUUMMM" Weekend...

This is my horoscope for the day:

"Today's planetary alignment will give you the opportunity to make a new start. But only if you have been able to get rid of some of the emotional constraints that have been weighing you down over the last two weeks. Try and set aside those things that have been bothering you in you personal life to take advantage of the breath of fresh air coming into your life. Breathe it in!"

So because I don't want to mess around with kharma when the planetary alignments are in order...I played it as a "low key" weekend. Although both mornings of the weekend I woke up unusually early, I still managed to get in plenty of R&R. Saturday I went and had my "hair did." Very necessary...in fact when I sat in the salon and saw my scraggly locks I almost asked the stylist to just shave it off completely. I refrained from such drastic measures, and went with the loss of a mere inch. I've been trying for over a year to grow out my hair for Locks for Love. My deadline is when I return from my sister's wedding in July. Look for my hair to be radically shorter! Honestly, I'd love one of those little short "do's," but my head is too ginourmous for that to look good at all. After the salon, where I almost fell asleep in the chair, Peggy and I went to lunch and did some shopping. I also got my car fixed which was essential to my cosmic bliss. For the last year I've been complaining of a rattling noise in the undercarriage. It's been pretty brutal, the noise totally creeped me out. I felt like the car would collapse everytime I turned a corner. I dropped it off for an oil change on Friday night, and I left yet another little note. Miraculously, the dealership called me and said that there was a problem and (even more miraculously!!) it was actually covered under my extended warrantee!! Woo-hoo!! So, RamonDos is now rattle free and ready to commute once again. I returned home to watch a movie called "Junebug." Amy Adams, who has been in several movies, but one of those people you never know "who" she is...was nominated for an Oscar this year for her performance in it. I was actually really impressed with it, though I can't stand the lead actress Embeth Davitz. It's a movie that actually tells a story you can relate to, and it centers on the importance of family. I loved the characters, and how realistically they related to one another. I was very surprised by the brother who was played by the blonde hot kid from 'The OC,' playing a redneck rather than the stereotype. But speaking of stereotypes....



Today I thought it only right to be a slug once more. Hence, I went to the movies to see Failure to Launch. I was apprehensive as Sarah Jessica Parker's last film was miserable. But there's always that McConnaughey element that calls to me and pulls me forward. This movie was great, it was funny and funny...and Matthew McConnaughey appears shirtless (thus the bonus pic) several times and really I defy you to tell me that is ever NOT warranted. You can't...I win.




Now I'm just settling in for an evening of more slugdom...The Soprano's starts in an hour and a half...and where no one knows what's up with Tony and his health issues, tonight promises to be lots of fights run by ego. I just want Bobby Bacala to be the stand in "boss." He can make orders wearing his engineer cap and set up his train set on the stage of the "Bada Bing!" Whoa! Thomas the Train...beware!!
