Surviving Saturn Return

Join me in all my adventures as I approach the big 3-0. The planet Saturn takes 29.5 years to orbit the Sun; when it returns to the exact degree along the ecliptic it occupied at the time of a person's birth this is referred to as Saturn Return. Saturn is associated with fear, confusion, difficulty, accomplishment, reflection, and maturity. Astrologers believe that the 30th birthday is a major rite of passage and marks the "true beginning" of adulthood.

June Is Busting Out All Over

Can you imagine if songs were still written with lyrics like that?

…Anyway, today we prepare for the delicious dairy-centric holiday of Shavuot. I have to miss a party at the penthouse of the Hilton hotel because of it. But that’s alright. I’ll be up all night at the JCC studying text and Israeli Folk Dancing. Oh, and let’s not forget the cheesecake. YUM! Tomorrow I will go to Livingston, NJ for lunch so I can partake of the delicious food my Auntie Bobbie is preparing. Good thing I went to pilates Sat. and Sun. and Tues. and then played softball last night and will go to pilates again on Sat. All this junk food is too good to pass up. And in case you are wondering, last night I did strike out once (oh the shame, the shame!), but then made it to base twice! I have been informed that so far my batting average is .375 and that that’s pretty fucking good. Wohoo! We lost 18-17, but it was so close. I can taste our next win. Too bad the next game isn’t for another 3 weeks. Nobody knows why.
…Also, in case any of you like orange soda, Diet Sunkist is now selling 20 oz. bottles. I was never much of an orange soda drinker until MangoFan got me into it a couple years ago. But I have always been a fan of the 20 oz. soda bottle. I don’t know why, but I just love drinking from a bottle. The plastic doesn’t change the taste any like a can does, and 20 oz. is the perfect size. The only drawback to this wonderful new advancement is that now I have to admit in public that I am an orange-soda-drinker. I had a whole conversation about it with one of my coworkers today. It is nothing like being a diet-coke-drinker. Orange soda is much lower down on the cool spectrum. But it’s okay. I can’t deny who I am. And I’ll still choose Diet Coke 75% of the time. So there…

    I went to the Coke museum when I was in Atlanta last weekend, and they had many different international flavors of Fanta. I don't know if it's cool here, but it seems to be cool everywhere else.
