I wrote a bunch of horoscopes, sheesh, slowly yanking
each one out of my foggy brain, and I even liked a few. I might have gotten as far as Capricorn. And then poof, one
accidental “select all” followed by blogger’s incessant autosave, and it’s all
gone.
I can’t remember what they were about, but I
got up really early to write, and it’s dark and cold and beautiful around
here, so I guess I'll just be happy that this little mishap prompted me to go stand outside
in the dark and see that sliver of a moon that was so sweet and not very lurky.
Cake Boss loves the moon. It’s almost like the third person in her marriage -- she
wants to move to where she can be closer to it, see it more often with less
hassle, spend evenings with it. I
have mixed feelings. The moon is
amazing, but can also be a little lurky sometimes, especially when it’s that
just past full phase, waning gibbous, I guess you call it. But this morning, the air was crisp and
cold and dark and starry and the moon was perfect.
I spent a little while trying to reconstruct
the horoscopes, and then I was like, really? Is this how you plan to spend your little bit of time on the planet?

Well it better be. I rely on those.
ReplyDeleteI guess at least we can get a good idea what YOUR horoscope should be.
I keep a voice recorder by my bed in case I come up with a really good line. Unfortunately, I do not reliably find the right button in the dark. I record, I erase. It's a lot like life, I guess.
Yeah, exactly like life. And sure, bring it on... What's my horoscope?
DeleteI suppose we could write our own.
ReplyDeleteNow there's a challenge! Go for it!
DeleteYou made the right choice. Sometimes standing in the moonlight or staring at the sky on a crisp night is the best possible use of our time.
ReplyDeleteThis, Mel, is why you're my imaginary friend. Using time wisely. I think we have that in common. :-)
DeleteYou wrote them once...no one expects you to write them twice. Moon gazing trumps blogging every time.
ReplyDeleteNice example of actually living inside a Mary Oliver poem. =)
ReplyDeleteOooh, I love Mary O! Good image.
DeleteThe only times I even think about the moon are in terms of driving at night; it's so much easier (as I age) to have the extra light of a full moon :)
ReplyDeleteNo, by golly, on the last question. Just no. If it's fun, fine, but otherwise, no!
Thanks Jenny!
DeleteOh, the cursed autosave. I know whereof ye speak.
ReplyDeleteI know! I wish you could turn that thing off!
DeleteHa! I hate when reason kicks in. Stupid reason.
