Looking Back: 2008 Horoscopes from Town & Country . . .
Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius
Did these predictions for 2008 come true for you? Mind did. I am a Virgo: "Virgos are never more content than when they can use their abilities to benefit others."
I started my blog in July of 2008 and can only hope it is benefiting others. I am astonished that my horoscope for last year contained word CONTENT. How ironic is that?
A friend just gave me a stack of old magazines. I normally don't read horoscopes, but this article intrigued me.

Tina Fey is the realest woman on the planet . . .
I have always loved the way Tina Fey chose to depict herself in this ad for American Express. What a mess! Somehow I don't think this was staged at all, do you? It is so real and so refreshing. Who says you have to be compulsively neat to be successful?
