So I know most people start stories with "I have this friend..." and they are really talking about themselves in some horribly obvious way. But I assure you, I am not talking about me. Really. I'm not.
I have this friend, and she's pregnant. See...told you it wasn't about me. While I'm a veritable playground for conception given my estrogen levels, I am not pregnant. So this friend, she has a big decision to make. Her baby is due on April 25th. But due to reasons I won't go into, she has to schedule her baby's due date. So here's the dilemma...
If she schedules this BEFORE April 21st, she is changing the baby's birth sign. I know I'm tied to my astrological sign. I'm an Aries through and through - and I love being an Aries. 12 o'clock on the zodiac clock, baby - the king of the astrological signs...actually the ram of the astrological signs. So what if she does change this baby's birth date??? What does that mean? Will the baby be a closeted Aries in Taurus clothing? She can't pick the 20th - we just found out this is Hitler's birthday and I completely disallow this.
She can wait until the 23rd, which is still Taurus territory, and then maybe, just maybe the baby chooses to be an Aries, but that takes the whole "scheduled" part out, and that's not great either. What if the baby chooses the 20th??? I think the baby is probably already smarter than that. The 23rd is Shakespeare's birthday, so that sounds pretty good.
For those of you (I'm lookin' at YOU, Jimmer) who think that she's thinking about this way too much - you can suck it. This is a big deal...HUGE...or I wouldn't be bringing it to the blog.
What are your thoughts? Have a preference on a date?
OH!!! AND HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY...I guess this is truly a holiday for "lover" (read "lovahs") and not us old married folk, or it would have been the subject of the blog today...maybe I'll rant about that tomorrow. But I love you all - seriously - like I would marry you.

isn't there some tax break around April, oh no, wait, TAXES are DUE not your "friend"...will there be a tax break if she schedules it for the 15th???
Well, you hit the nail right on the head as far as my opinion on this. But, for the sake of the lurkers, I'm going to expound. In my opinion (humble or not) it doesn't really matter what "sign" you are. People are formed by their environment. It's a scientific fact.
To Rebecca and her unknown pregnant friend, do you structure your days around your "Horror-scopes?" I certainly do not. I believe that it's a way for people to distract themselves from the daily interactions in life.
I will admit that from time to time I do read "Horror-scopes." It is fun...
Finally, Heather in my office was born on April 20th and she turned out just fine. Who cares whom else may share that day, whether famous or infamous, it doesn't matter.
I guess the question I have is this. Are you concered that the child might be Astrologically Ambiguous?
Hey Reb, what are the code tags for color? That's cool...
P.S. Eggo and Rich are big fans of 420...
OMG - I forgot about the 420 reference...

People who are born so close to the change of an astrological sign are usually consider on the cusp and can have characteristics of both signs. So she could decide whenever.
Well clearly for TWO reasons April 20th is out.
I know, and love, the Heather that the Jimmer is speaking of... and she is a sweet, soft-spoken, loving person.
