    You
    are quite determined now, yet you still broadcast mixed messages
    because you are conflicted about your next career move. You may think
    that you know where you are going, but cannot get rid of a restless
    feeling that won't be quelled by your professional aspirations.
    Although you might try to work off the pressure mentally, it may
    require some physical action to touch the real source of your
    frustration.

    great. just great. 

    if you had the choice...would u take a more stable job with great hours and corporate promise or a more grueling job with less stability and shitty hours but maybe a wider range of opportunities?

    without insisting that the next five rentals be action and/or adventure.

    Clue #8

  • HAPPY BLACK FRIDAY!!

  • trust is a fragile thing.
    when it walks a thin line. it should be fostered if it is true.

    and all is lost.

    Jim is extremely talented.
    This piece of art is even better in person.
    Perfect to a T.
    And I was pretty picky about what I wanted in the painting. 
    I would definitely let him know if I ever want to commission another work of art.  He's also very professional. 

    And I communicated with him solely through the internet even though I had no time to chat after being Xanga friends. 
    Don't you just love Xanga? I do.  ^_^

    THANK YOU for doing such a beautiful job Jim!

    Britney Spears Files For Divorce

    AP / Chris Polk

    Britney Spears filed for divorce Tuesday from Kevin Federline, officials said.

    The Los Angeles County Superior Court filing cites "irreconcilable differences," said court spokeswoman Kathy Roberts.

    Spears, 24, married rapper Kevin Federline, 28, in 2004. They have a
    1-year-old son, Sean Preston, and an infant son who was born Sept. 12.
    The divorce papers identify the baby as Jayden James Federline.

    A message left with Spears' attorney, Laura Wasser, was not immediately returned.

    Spears married Federline eight months after ending a 55-hour Las
    Vegas marriage to her childhood friend, Jason Alexander. Her second
    marriage has provided endless fodder for tabloids, which have
    speculated that the union was in trouble.

    Calls left for Federline's representatives also were not immediately returned. (AP)

    In other Spears news, the singer stunned talk show host David Letterman Monday night (Video) when she made her first post-pregnancy public appearance since giving birth to second son Jayden James Federline.

    She sported a chic blonde bob and wore a short black dress that showed off her newly svelte shape.

    And her libel challenge against Us Weekly was dismissed Monday when a judge ruled a report about her sex tape wasn't defamatory.

    Spears' suit insisted, "The article is libelous on its face, since
    it maliciously and recklessly portrays (Spears) as acting 'goofy' while
    watching (the video with attorneys)."

    But Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Lisa Hart Cole dismissed the
    $10 million damages claim, ruling the singer's raunchy reputation was
    in place before the Us Weekly article.

    She said, "It is clear that plaintiff did not bring this lawsuit because she was falsely accused of acting goofy.

    "The issue is whether it is defamatory to state that a husband and wife taped themselves engaging in consensual sex."

    She concluded, "(Spears) put her modern sexuality squarely, and
    profitably, before the public eye," citing racy scenes in her 2005
    reality TV show "Britney & Kevin: Chaotic" as evidence.
