I was at Starbucks a.k.a "Axis of Evil:Deux" pissed me off royally. I waltzed in like I do every single day ordering the same coffee I have for the past 5 YEARS and I was snubbed...by another coffee drinker. See here's what happened. I ordered way before this woman even entered my caffinated sanctuary and she hoarded the pick-up counter having the audacity to shoot me a look of disgust as I waited in a chair, like smart regulars do. I see her wipe her nose (with her hand) and touch the counter, yeah gross. My coffee comes up and the retarded barista hands my coffee to her and she grabs it and hovers over the counter talking to the barista, asking him where he was from because of his accent...blah, blah, blah. The manager noticed the look on my face and points out the correction that needs to be made. She unhands my coffee and says sorry, and shot me a look. I hand the coffee back to the barista and say "I would like a coffee that has not been manhandled, talked over and probably spit in...", she shot me a look. Right about now I'm feeling like a gun slinger at the OK Corral.

The manager says "No problem Char, I'll make it." The barista tries to apologize and I stare and him and the gross manhandling nurse, saying absolutely nothing. I'm sure she mouthed "bitch" as I left. However I could care less because my honey is on his way back home and I am happy =)

Remember when I said my horoscope can be right on point and other times it can be full of crap. Well today it's full of crap.

Be sure to take copious mental notes when you encounter other people early on today, because one of them has something to show you. Someone you thought you knew backwards and forwards will act in an unusual or confusing way, and you should figure out how to emulate them! The people you know the best can often be the best inspiration, so take a play from their playbook and see what it feels like. It might click, it might not. The point is, you should mix it up a bit!

Seriously the only people in life that I would emulate are Dita Von Teese and Charlize Theron, because I'm a diva and so are they. Ha, ha just kidding....ok I'm not.

One thing I do often when R is away is blog, a lot. Or take on a project I know I'll never finish for the time he's gone. But I happened to be thinking that I'm really lonely without him. I usually sit in front of the TV and go into a reality TV comatose state. Never mind that I really love reality TV. I miss him not being around and even though he's not gone for long he's still gone and I kind of get all heartbroken n' stuff. When he calls it's just good to hear his voice and hear him say he loves me. Maybe my hormones are working in overdrive, I'm not sure.

This is one thing that has just but a horrible damper on my morning. Every day I log onto Yahoo and/or Associated Press and read the news...every single day and I cannot for the life of me understand how this is happening? Children and women being raped, families of other tribes being killed all due to electoral anarchy. Sometimes at times like this I really start to ask God for world peace. Sometimes we can be so self absorbed and numb to the news that we never really put ourselves in the shoes of other people. I was just thinking after reading this latest report how do they continue to live. Never knowing when their death is going to ultimately be by the hand of an act of redemption, or what the killer feels is redemption. Nevertheless the same violence continues in Iraq and Baghdad as well. Seriously does anyone else ever wish that this would stop? Do you ever just wish you had the soul solution.

I know I wish I did....it just gets more devastating with every news story.

However not for me, the better half is leaving again for a week to go away for training. I'm always lonely when he leaves, for a whole week I have to entertain myself. I used to be able to do this well...when I was single, now that I'm so used to him always being here I depend on him to always be around. I know I'll put in extra hours at the office, that's a given maybe get through my second book since I'll be done with the other one in the next two days. Cleaning round the house...well it looks like I've figure out what I'll be doing.

This year we are planning on taking a vacation. Last year we didn't and as most people who know me are aware we have gone to the Madonna Inn for our last two vacations. They were both fantastic and we had the time of our lives, however we want to do something different I know R is into nature and loves the outdoors so I think we may go to Yosemite or something like that. I've never been there or the Grand Canyon or anything really nature-like so I think that would be really different.
