Excuses

I used to try and post a little something on Sunday anyway when I would visit one of my favourite sites - Post Secret what else? This past Sunday/ day before yesterday I didn't have time. I was busy recording some music for my friend's daughter who is here staying with a host family. On Sunday afternoon we met up because the family was taking her to a bullfight. Yes, I know bullfighting is part of Spanish culture, but not every foreign visitor to Spain is as enthusiastic about it as Hemingway was (or one of my former colleagues) and not especially a 13-year-old child. I haven't heard anything but I hope she got through it all right. There are lots of places that I would deem more suitable and educational like the Prado Museum. Another friend of her mother's took her to Segovia on Saturday and she got to see the famous Aqueduct. On Friday they're going to the beach, so I'll call before she goes to wish her a good holiday.
I've got in the habit of seeing which number visitor I am on Post Secret. For July 27th I was number 156,482,633. I've just finished reading two of my horoscopes. Here's my Chinese one for today:

Ox Horoscope for July 29, 2008

This is an unpredictable day where almost anything could go wrong for you. You might have trouble making a financial commitment that you had promised someone. You may be accident prone, especially while you're angry with someone else. Your love partner could be fickle or aloof so try to keep a low profile.

A great one, huh? Well, I'm going to take its advice and keep that low profile and get on out of here. Happy Chicken Tuesday and hope the rest of the week is better for everyone.

  1. Post Secret is still one of my favorite sites. I have decided I'm not crazy about that 'daily' one though.
    Enjoy your day/night Brenda.
    Hope you had a Happy Chicken Tuesday!

  2. LOL, I don't blame you! I see those things everyday and everyday I wait for another ball to drop on my head. Have a great chicken Tuesday.

    Wow that post secret really pulls the people in. I've yet to venture there but I will.

    Sounds like Alexandra is seeing some wonderful places anyway. I have photos of Segovia from my parents travels and it is beautiful. I'm not so sure I would be one to relish a bullfight myself. Although I would more than likely go to one just to observe the culture .
    Ole'

  3. Post Secret is addictive. Ask Diana who has sent in a secret. It's also something to look forward to on a Sunday. I'm always disappointed when Frank doesn't post any new secrets, but I understand that everyone needs a break.

  4. I like the new look. The verse reminds me of a Neil Young song, "I'd rather burn out than fade away"!

    I'm not so sure I need another addiction lol. I've got my hands full as it is. But I will sneak a peek!

    Have a great weekend hun. Hugs.
