Telling Stories

Apologies to Madame Sosostris

July12

This could turn out to be one of those memorable weekends.  Take lots of photos and preserve the memories.

Considering that I spent Saturday in a state of insatiable hunger and today throwing up everything I attempted to eat, this weekend’s memories are not ones I want to preserve.  Especially not in photographs.  Therefore, my horoscope is wrong.

Or, since I’m immortalizing it on the interwebs, does that mean it’s right?

Also, wouldn’t this have been a better horoscope for the start of a weekend than the finish?  What if my Friday night or Saturday had been awesome, but I found myself without a camera because I hadn’t yet been told by a clairvoyant to bring one?  Horoscope fail!

    I don’t suppose vomit reading is an art like tea leaf reading? Maybe Madame S. could read the spew like a Rohrshak inkblot test.

    You will have a strong baby with a healthy appetite. The baby’s favorite food will be strained peas. Twenty dollars, please.

Storytelling is second nature to me. When I was three, I told stories about Rainbow Brite. Now I’m quite a bit older than three, and I tell stories about people I make up. And about people I don’t make up. And especially about myself and my (mis)adventures as a writer, wife, mommy, and Walmart shopper. Because life is just a collection of stories. Sometimes, it’s far stranger than fiction…
