Watch Out! Virgos May have an Attitude Today!

Today's Yahoo Horoscope for Virgos: Not everyone can be as informed and as experienced as you are, and it's not always their fault. So cut some people some slack when they frustrate you with their questions. They are just working at their own pace and abilities, and they are dong their best -- you can't fault them if their best isn't good enough for you. Instead of getting frustrated with them, just go off and take care of other things. They'll feel less pressure, and you'll feel less restricted.

Cut some slack.. Heh heh. I love it. Doin' the best they can. Heh. Heh.

Sooooo, I've been right all along. Not everyone can be as informed and experienced as us Virgo's. That explains a lot about my attitude when I'm out and about in the big world dealing with obviously non-Virgo Sunday drivers, Starbucks customers, shoppers, meteorologists who stand in front of the weather map, the lady who does her eye make-up in such a way that it looks like her eyes are upside down, sales people, grocery baggers, Order takers at the "other" Dunkin Donuts. You name it. I try to cut them some slack. Sure. The professor in one of my psychology type classes asked why we talk about other people. Someone said "Because they are asking for it." I need to change that to: Because they are not Virgo. I don't believe in horoscopes, but when they say something like this it is necessary to pay attention and share with other signs.

As for the "other" Dunkin Donuts - I had to quit going through the drive through. It was misnamed, for one thing. It should have been called the "sit here until hell freezes over -thru". Here's a sample of the typical ordering dialogue: AND I am NOT exaggerating!

After 15 minute wait at speaker with only one other person ahead of me:

Go ahead.

I'd like a large iced latte with skim milk only and a large iced coffee with mocha and cream

So, you want 2 medium coffees and did you want any donuts today

No, I'd like a large iced latte with skim milk only and a large iced coffee with mocha and cream

Did you want that medium coffee hot or cold?

I'd like a large iced........etc. (I make eye contact to the person waiting behind me and roll my eyes)

Oh, OK, make that a large iced latte. What flavor did you want in it?

I'd like a large....etc. No flavor.

Oh - no flavor. Whipped cream?

I'd like a.....etc. no flavor, no whipped cream.

Will that be all today?

Did you get the other drink?

That medium coffee?

No, that large iced....

And it goes on. And on.

So. I had to get away from there. I don't think it had to do with whether they are Virgo's or not. Is there a sign for "don't understand the spoken language?" I go to the Dunkin donuts in the Hess Station. There's something about eye contact. They don't even ask. They just take a look at me and start making the drinks. Unless a new person shows up on the job. They ask what I want, and I don't remember how to say the order. I haven't had to say the order for 3 months.

So, getting back to Virgo's, our tendencies are:

Blonde - check

Blue eyed - check

Taller than average - actually I'm an inch shorter than I started out

Slender - welllllllllllll I was once.

Thin eyebrows (really!) They are now - I started ripping them out when I was 14. I looked like a Yettie.

Intelligent- Of course!

Artistic - absolutely

Methodical - er. uhm...

Orderly - listmaker - yes! Has anyone seen today's list? I lost it.

Wholesome - of course. Unless I have to park in BFE.

I'm the only Virgo among my siblings, so the rest of youse guys are going to just have to go along with this. Especially the three of you Leo's who are having birthdays at the end of this month. By the way, I told mom I was on to her -that when I counted backwards 9 months from July, I came up with October. Wedding Anniversary.

This was a lot from a person who couldn't even believe, for a time, her parents actually had sex. Despite the fact that there were six other kids in the house with me. So what.

Happy Birthday, Leo Sissy and Bro's - especially the one who is turning the big Six-Oh. Welcome to the club.

Happy Birthday Joe, Janet and Jim!

After I contemplated the picture of that birthday cake for a while I realized it looks like it has dog food pressed around the sides. No cake for me, thank you. I'm.... er...ahhh.. watching my waistline. Yeah, that's the ticket. Erp.

A Horoscope That's Right Up My Alley!

Today's Yahoo Horoscope for Virgo's:


Be careful not to push yourself too hard, today. Why pressure yourself into taking on a bigger workload when you don't really need to? Sure, you may crave the challenge, but at what cost? There are too many small details in the stuff you've currently got on your plate, and you simply cannot afford adding more to them. Before you accept any new assignments, focus on one single project and finish it up. Make room for more by completing what you have.

This has ME written all over it! Before I even read it I was on my way to success - I slept until 10:00. Oh the joys of the unemployed! The Mister organized my morning for me, so I did not have to exert myself with schedules and deadlines. My morning consisted of going over to Quest Diagnostics for a blood test, having breakfast with the Mister at My Cafe, picking up a latte to go and then home again. Think I shall have a wee toes up.

What happened to the good old days when the Dr. took care of all the pricking poking and sampling of our body fluids? Now we get a quick once over, a reminder that our cholesterol is going directly into the Book of World Records, and sixty-four notes for blood tests, MRIs, Mammy-o-Grams, bone density tests, and wouldn't you know it's been three years since my last colonoscopy so I am already NOT looking forward to 2010. Just do it all in the office, would you? I'll even bring my own equipment and that Super Man cape I get to wear when I get my mammys smashed to smithereens. Have you looked at that as a possible cause for breast cancer? That would be my first guess!

I think the blood test place is second in line from going to the Drivers License Bureau. It's like getting off the boat at Ellis Island. You get there at 7:30 am and there are already 237 people sitting around with blank looks on their faces and Dr. notes pinned to their shirts.

Half the people appear to have one or more family members with them, the only magazine left is Fitness for Forest Rangers - with all the coupons and recipes torn out, and the only thing you can depend on is a 12 hour wait with people sitting next to you that you would normally not be caught dead with.

Meanwhile, the lady at the window, who only does things in slow motion, shouts out to the mass of humanity: Mrs. Moribund, did you remember to fast for your urine test? (No, but I studied) Mr. Halfmast, did you remember to evacuate your entire intestinal tract? Miss Underwire, is it the left breast or the right one that we are looking at today? Then they finally get to me; Mrs. Canch..er...Mrs Conqui...uhm Mrs. Con-see-ahhhhh-tooooo.. ahh...Cynthia. Can I just call you Cynthia?
Yes, I've been here long enough that I expect to be invited to your next family reunion.
Would you pronounce that last name of yours for me?
Con-cha'-2.
Oh, Conquito.
Why, yes, that's exactly right.
Left or Right arm?
How about the right one. Mrs' Moribund has been leaning on it for 12 hours and it's fast asleep. I won't feel a thing.
