horoscopes kind of freak me out

So I just moved into a new apartment a couple weeks ago and I've since determined that it's looking a little spartan and I needed to splash it up. The flip side is that I have expensive taste and my pockets are none-too-deep at the moment. And so in keeping with my second New Year's resolution of doing things more DIY this year, I decided that second hand stores are going to be a good way to be thrifty in my apartment decorating. So earlier today I wrote on a post-it a list of some things I was going to look for at the local goodwill tonight; metal bed frame, fitted sheet/bed runner thing that hangs down and covers up the box spring (I have since been told that this is what one calls a bed skirt), lamps, coffee tables, 'art'...etc..etc. I went online to find out what time the store on NW 22Nd closes. 9pm. I even thought that I would take the 17 bus up to 21st instead of the streetcar which would also take me to 21st, but several more blocks away. I wondered if I had enough cigarettes or would I have to buy some more. Even thought that if I didn't find anything then I could totally afford a beer on the way home.

and then I saw this...

Aries Your mind is on physical comfort and possessions right now and that might lead to some interesting choices. Shopping is kind of an obvious diversion for you and you're well set to find bargains.

...good things going to happen at the goodwill tonight?

stay tuned
