You sco...

You scored as III - The Empress. The Empress is a maternal symbol. She is the mother figure who loves, nurtures and protects.She will protect you, she will always be there when you are in trouble. When you fall over and graze your knee, the Empress will kiss it better.Yet she is not a weak figure. Her compassion is strength. If her children are threatened she will stop at nothing to protect them. If well aspected in a Tarot spread, the Empress can symbolise security, protection and unconditional love. If badly aspected it can represent over-protectiveness, fear of risk taking and refusal to face the real world.III - The Empress75%IV - The Emperor75%II - The High Priestess69%I - Magician69%VIII - Strength69%XIII: Death69%XIX: The Sun63%XI: Justice63%0 - The Fool56%VI: The Lovers56%XVI: The Tower50%X - Wheel of Fortune44%XV: The Devil31%</td>Which Major Arcana Tarot Card Are You?created with QuizFarm.comI had to answer a tiebreaker for the thing to decide whether I was the Empress or the Emperor.

Random bits.

I redid our spending plan yesterday and was thinking about it today and guess what?! We're bourgeois pigs! Kick ass!I'm already getting tired of driving out to Palm Springs. It was 118 freaking degrees when I left the office yesterday. 118 is not a temperature. 118 is a mockery of humane living conditions.On a bright note, I am going to get to do some of the TBS coaching. That should be fun - I hate doing too much of the administrative stuff. What would be the best thing ever would if BBS lets me count those hours as direct contact for my license. I am glad that the fire that was threatening Yucca has moved in another direction. I am not glad that it merged with the fire closing in on Big Bear and now is mega-fire. Also, I am not happy that a new fire started right outside of my town sometime between yesterday and today. There is an appropriate place for fires. And that is on my icon. ;-pWhen I went to get in my car this morning, there were ashes all over it. I almost freaked right out when I saw it - at first I thought it was the neighbors jacking around with their paintballs again. Everything looks and feels surreal. It's over a hundred here again today, so I'm stayin' in. Well, until later, when dustinashe and I go see Pirates II.I got a wire that is supposed to allow me to play my iPod through a WMA line in the car. I hope it works. The odd and creepy guy at Radio Shack said it would. Why are Radio Shack employees ubiquitously odd and creepy?
