on resolutions and descending ascendants

i am returned to canada since three months. these three months have been an experience. my swiss adventures were amazing. absolutely amazing. but now i am back. and so life goes on.
i was happier than i think i've ever been when i was in switzerland. i knew it would be hard to leave, but i am still surprised at the general feelings of loss. i have since left williams lake and relocated to vancouver. close to balance, i can feel it. but baby is still in der schweiz. i miss him so much, and i am sure everyone i know is tired of hearing me talk about him. he will visit me in another three, hopefully short, months. until then, its all about yoga.
i was thinking about yoga and being financially challenged. i thought, maybe i could just yoga-studio-hop. most studios have a free first class, right? i think about this and wonder if it is a tacky thing to do.
i just was reading about myself in a horoscope book. something called the ascendant. this is interesting to me. its based on the hour you were born, and apparantly if i had been born about an hour earlier than i was, i would be a humanitarian. way it turns out, i'm only half humanitarian, but also half hedonistic and self-loving, and half regretting not using the extra effort to push out earlier and be a bit more of a "blessing" to the human race. whatever.
i hope i don't turn into a brand-oriented person. actually, i think it might be too late. i work now in a brand-name clothing store. i get an enormous discount, so that it is actually worth buying the clothes in my cheap opinion. trouble is, my cheap opinion is not cheap anymore, but ready willing and (almost) able to shell out real money on regular priced stuff from other big brands. i don't know if this is going to make me a better person in the long run. eh.
new years resolutions this year: don't make new years resolutions. they are for people who are too lazy to fix stuff during the rest of the year. thing is, if its broke, fix it in july when it breaks, not in january just because everyone else is doing it.
