Today’s New Zodiac Signs

Filed under: Entertainment,Family,Internet,Science — Copa @ 11:20 am

Just found an interesting story about how the earth’s position has shifted over many centuries, which has caused the zodiac signs to change a bit as well.  That made sense to me and so I kept clicking and reading.  I ended up on a webpage where it gave me the chance to enter in my birthday and see whether or not my zodiac sign is really what I thought it was.  Well, yes it is, but my daughter’s is different and so is my sister’s!

Now how wierd is that!?  Of course, these folks have been born “on the cusp” which means that they have traits of two signs, but it really is interesting that they are not the “sign” that they thought they were!

Yin-Yang

Filed under: Family,Fun,Pets — Copa @ 8:34 pm

My Niece had brought a cat over to our house and gave it to my wife as a birthday present which I thought “Oh no, not another animal!” But the kitten turned out to be a cute and cuddly tub of fur and deserves a good home, so we had said yes to the whole ordeal. Well later on in the day after the fact of us both falling in love with the new kitten running around, my wife had came up with a odd name for it, it was Keyoda. It is definitely different, but it fits her well, except I thought of the name yin-yang for it, because it has a bright and cute side to its personality and it also has a strange dark side to it. Its an evil kitten running around breaking everything in site, but that what kittens do I guess.

I can’t wait to see how this new animal of ours turns out after staying here with us and our two rotten dogs, wish for the best!

Birthday celebration

Unfortunately it rained all day on my birthday, which meant that I was laid up in bed in pain all day long. I really hate rainy days. My wife got me to come out of the bedroom long enough to open my birthday cards and some gifts, but I wasn’t in the mood to eat dinner or even cake and ice cream. If I’m not in the mood for ice cream, then I must really be in pain!

My wife was a real sweetheart and got me a Kindle for my birthday. She knew that it has been hurting my hands to have to hold books and turn the pages over the past several months, and she thought that using a Kindle to read it would be easier for me to turn pages. She was right, it does. I am very pleased with the Kindle. And I know my wife is going to be happy that I don’t keep adding more and more books to our already over-loaded bookcases! Personally I just think that she just wants more room for HER cookbooks!

Mother’s 85th Birthday

Filed under: Family,General Living,Parenting — Copa @ 11:58 pm

I cannot imagine my mother being 85 years old!  She will always be that pretty woman in her 30′s who was always cooking my favorite foods while working full time and raising three rowdy children while keeping a rowdy husband in line.

I called her this morning to wish her a Happy Birthday!  I couldn’t be with her physically today, but I am with her in spirit.  I love her very much.
