Alittle bit more about me

I am a 43 yr old female,lived in CT all my life,I am a scorpio for those of you into astrology.I have 1 older sister who is 47,and 1 fabulous goddaughter/niece who will be 24.....my sister and her husband just celebrated 25 yrs of marriage this past wednesday(March 5th 2008)so we celebrated with a party that went pretty well considering the bride and groom both had the flu,along with about 20 others who also had the flu............this yrs strain is very bad,as both got the flu shot but according to drs and the news reports its only 40% effective.I am shy and reserved until i get to know some 1.....I do not hate people,,,but i can tell almost right away if some 1 will be good or bad for me, in which case i obviously stay away from the bad people.I totally believe in reincarnation,as well as signs from people and or pets being with us after they have passed....as i have recieved signs .whether in my dreams or wide awake i have recieved them,most recently from my dog who passed 17 days ago,since we bought her ashes home i have heard her dog tags jingle 5 times.my family always says im the strong 1,when it comes to grief or anything of that nature, i tend to disagree....but i know things have to get done in a timely fashion,therefore i think i am helping in anyway i can.Because i wanted my own day,i was born 2 hrs b4 my mothers birthday,however we still celebrate together...which is always a joy,her and my sister and niece i can honestly say are not just family but my best friends as well.
