this is not what I had planned

Today's horoscope was such a good reminder that I feel the need to post it here so that we can all be reminded of the different ways people express feelings and to stop being so judgmental all the time.

"It hurts when your heart is wide open and others just can't match the intensity of your love. For this reason, you may feel that it's safer today to demonstrate your ability to be emotionally detached than it is to show how much you truly care. Unfortunately, this will only allow those in your life to shut down even more. When you recognize that each person expresses love in a unique manner, you'll be able to graciously accept what is currently being offered without further judgment."

I'm done dogsitting and even though I did enjoy my brief stint with the dog, I'm happy to be back at my house where all is quiet, even at 4:30 in the morning and where I know how to find everything in my kitchen. Only a few more weeks here and then it will be off to the new place.

And now for my Sunday paper recommendations:

1. Excellent commentary on global warming can be found here.
2. If anyone wants to go to Sommerfest this Thursday night to see Sibelius, I'm in. It's one of the best and even though I've seen it already, I'd definitely go again!
3. This story about a 26 year old woman who is hiking from Mexico to Canada sort of makes me wonder what I've done for the last four years. I could have been doing something awesome like this...
4. And last but not least, The Hold Steady make the front page of the Variety section.
   

Have a great week, everyone and hopefully, you get a chance to enjoy what is supposed to be beautiful weather this week!
