Libra

From The White Goddess

I'm a Libra, born October 9th. I've always loved my sign. I know most people think it's bunk, but I have always felt for the most part it described me. Not every single detail, but enough to think there's something to this astrology thing.

According to astrology.com, "libras are first and foremost focused on others and how they relate to them." Yea...this is about me. LOL! I'm always thinking of others and what our relationship is like. Am I being a good person to others? Have I asked too much of someone? Did I do something to upset them? If I'm upset, is it justified? So many things go through my head when it comes to other people!

According to astrology.com, "it's the Scales that symbolize Libra, and just like that balancing mechanism wants to stay even, Libras want to be on an even keel." Oh yes. I like to be balanced. I hate conflict or having to bring up uncomfortable questions. Not to say I won't do it if I have to, but if I can avoid it, I do!

According to astrology.com, " The Scales are cultured, refined and love beautiful things." Yup. I loved beautiful things. I don't necessarily need the most pricey item {my engagement ring isn't a diamond. Yea...by choice.}, but I do like shiny. LOL! I love theater, music, photography, and jewelry. I love to know things, even if they are trivial. I'm always reading to find out new things on random topics. I tend to think my interests aren't all that interesting to others though!

According to astrology.com, " the great strength of the Libra-born is their quest for fairness, peace and harmony." This might be the best way to sum up the Libra and to an extent, me. I do want fairness - for myself and others. Yes, I know life isn't fair, but it could be a little more fair than it is. I hate conflict and always wish for peace and harmony. I get too agitated when conflict happens...for long periods of time. Hence why I dislike handling it because it's not once and done for me. I will mull it over for weeks or months.

From Wikipedia, because we all know it is the source for accurate information!

So, what does this all mean? It means since this is my month {I've always felt that way about October}, I'll be sharing some fun facts about Libra's. I just wanted you to know why. :)

What's your sign? {heehee} Do you think it matches your personality?

I should be happy...

Ugh. Today is really cold and wet. It's one of those "I don't want to get out of bed" days. It's dark, chilly, and the rain is coming down! It's kinda crazy actually.

Which makes getting up and going to WW all the harder to do. LOL! But, I got up, checked my scale (which said I was down) and headed into the crazy cold, rainy weather. I got there and weighed in and down .6 pounds. WAY less than what my scale at home said. Now, I know my scale and WW scale isn't equal, they never have been, BUT they have been fairly consistent in how much I have lost, even if the numbers don't match. Generally, my home scale is about 5 pounds less than the WW one, which is fine since I know that. What I like is that if I'm down a pound at home, I'm down about a pound at WW. This week was not the case. I was down 1.5 pounds at home, but only .6 at WW. I think it's the scale. When I weigh in on the scale on the left, it's closer to my home scale. When I weigh in on the scale on the right, it's higher. And the last two weeks I've weighed in on the scale on the right. Ugh.

I suppose I should focus on the fact that I'm down this week, but I just can't help but wonder if I would have been down more if I had weighed in on the scale on the left....
