What Happened the Year You Were Born?

The psycology of bed's and umbrella's

What Your Blue Umbrella Says About You

When faced with adversity, you can be counted on. You rise to the occasion when things are tough, and you are very dependable. You are cool and laid back. Everyone finds you easy to get along with. You are a good communicator and conversationalist. People pour their hearts out to you. On a rainy day: you should spend the day catching up with your closest friends

The Umbrella Test

What Your Bed Says About You

Outward appearances aren't important to you at all. You think that the over emphasis on looks to be shallow. You try to be an organized person, but you often fall behind. Certain parts of your life tend to fall into chaos. You are very high maintenance. You like everything a certain way, and you're grumpy if things aren't the way you like them. In relationships, you tend to be quite dominant. You enjoy taking charge. You tend to be a down to earth, practical person. You think in terms of what is actual. You are a traveler. You are comfortable anywhere, and you rarely feel homesick.

What Does Your Bed Say About You?

I resemble these both very much...my poor husband!

Spellcheck is my friend

Your Common Spelling Mistake Score: 65% Correct

Your spelling is decent, but you do make quite a few mistakes. Let's just say you won't be winning a spelling bee anytime soon!

Do You Make Common Spelling Mistakes?

Oh yeah, this is so me. I'm always spelling things wrong, there's just some words I can't keep in my head right. Yup, I love my spellcheck I do.

*Snort!*

You Are Gymnastics

You are agile, expressive, and precise. You have the drive to practice until you get something perfectly right. And you have the confidence to perform difficult moves when under pressure.

What Olympic Sport Are You?

Bwaaa'hahahahahaha!!!

This one kills me cos I'm about the least flexible person on the earth.

Seriously!

When I sit on the floor & try to touch my toes I can only get a couple of inches past my knees.

It's quite sad really.

Awww, shucks George, thanks!

My blog is worth $5,645.40.
How much is your blog worth?

This is comforting! Yesterday (ok, Tuesday, this is a scheduled post) when I did this it told me my blog was worth nothing! I was going to post it anyway but sheesh, how embarrassing right? Kinda fun to see what some widget thinks this place is worth, but no matter what it comes up with for you, I think your blog is priceless!

Just don't give me the finger!

You Are an "A-OK"

Your life philosophy can be summed up as, "Whatever will be, will be." Your greatest wish is to live each day a little better than the next. You are naturally calm and stable. Some people would call you a rock. You feel one with the world. You are a spiritual person, though no one who knows you would guess it.

What Hand Gesture Are You?

I agree with the gesture but nosomuch the description. I am calm & stable...sometimes. Dunno if I could be called a rock! Whatever God wills, will be is more my thoughts than whatever will be will be. And I am a spiritual person although I don't like the worlds perception of spiritual these days. And I would like to think that my love of the Lord shines through so it can clearly be seen!

The kids - oh, those dang kids!

You Sometimes Know When Someone's Lying

You can spot a liar if the liar slips up, but you're not always aware of other people's dishonesty. Eventually a liar will reveal himself, and you usually will figure out if you've been lied to. However, someone could be duping you without you knowing it. So watch out for the telltale signs of lying!

Can You Spot a Liar?

Milk toast baby

You Are Occasionally a Wimp

You're pretty tough in every day life. You don't back down easily. However, you can be a wimp at times, especially in stressful situations. You can be overwhelmed or intimidated or just plain scared when life gets rough. While these are natural reactions, you may want to face your fears a little more.

Are You a Wimp?

I think I'm a wimp way more often than occasionally. Lift intimidates me, to be honest. I don't like to be in new situations & I strongly (and wrongly) fear others impressions of me. Something I struggle with daily and need to work on more.

Love me just a little

You Are Occasionally a Narcissist

While you have healthy self esteem, you're really not that full of yourself. Compared to most people, you're quite humble! Though occasionally, you can't help and reflect on how great you are. There's nothing wrong with being proud of yourself - as long as you don't let it go to your head!

Are You a Narcissist?

The times I think a little too highly of myself are when I think back to my High School days. I was part of an award winning choir & I remember them as my 'glory days.' It's easy to get full of yourself when hundreds of people are clapping a & they give you a trophy!

A buncha nonsense

Your Fitness Type: Playful

You enjoy exercise as long as it doesn't feel like work. Working out is your playtime, and you're up for any exercise that's fun. Try exercise that involves a little friendly competition, like basketball, softball, or volleyball. Or you may even like exercising with a fitness video game. Anything that makes you feel like a kid again.

How Should You Get Fit?

This is so not me! I like to walk, I like to swim and I (used to) like to dance. Team sports? Hate em! I was always the last kid picked for the team, and I sucked at them all. Friendly competition? Ugh, all I felt was pressure to perform at games I sucked at. I also loathe balls flying in my direction at high velocity (or even medium velocity for pete's sake - they hurt if they hit you dagnabit!) and I don't like to sweat - could be the reason I'm waaaaay overweight. Ya think?

You Are Ready, Willing, and Able to Commit

You are not scared of commitment in the least. In fact, there's a good chance that you're already committed to someone you love. You are willing to give up a little freedom for relationship stability. And once you're in a relationship, you'll do almost anything to make things work.

Are You Afraid of Commitment?

Gee, ya think? Being married for 10 years might just have something to do with these results. Although the last line of that was a bad thing for me back in the day. A very, very bad thing!

What Your Sunglasses Say About You

You are spontaneous, open minded, and optimistic. You are very youthful and free wheeling, no matter what your age happens to be. You need to be shaded from the darker, more depressing aspects of life. You feel sunniest when everyone around you is up for a good time.

The Sunglasses Test

This was was pretty close although I don't need to be shaded from anything. But I couldn't choose just one of those shades so here's the other one...

What Your Sunglasses Say About You

You are funky, freaky, and as weird as weird can be. Your taste in everything is unusual and downright counter cultural. You need to be shaded from uptight, judgmental people. You feel sunniest when you can kick back and relax... without a care in the world.

The Sunglasses Test

Right on the money baby. Not-a-care-in-the-world sounds fabulous to me. Problem is, I'm married with children so we all know it's not happening anytime soon.
*sigh*

Some forks & a Dixie wanna-be

You Are a Fork

You are truthful, direct, and straight forward. People find your honesty to be a bit piercing at times. You are driven and wildly ambitious. You know what you want, and you take the most direct path to getting it.

What Utensil Are You?

I very much resemble this. Unfortunately, my piercing honesty gets reserved for those close to me, not people in general. I'm too worried about what complete strangers think of me to be that honest with them, much to my husbands dismay :)

You Are 40% Yankee, 60% Dixie

You're a pretty even split of Yankee and Dixie. You've probably traveled around a lot in your life.

Are You a Yankee or Dixie?

I was born & raised in WA but I love, love, love the South. I love the people, the food, the accents, the scenery...the only things I don't love are the humidity & the storms (hurricanes & tornadoes freak me out!) Sometimes I think I was born in the wrong part of the country - but I can't imagine leaving good ole WA, even with all it's faults.

Princess charming

You Are Pretty Charming

While you're not a natural charmer, you can be charming when you want to be. And lucky for those around you, you usually feel like turning on the charm. You project a happy, calm image - even when you're feeling the exact opposite. You make people feel great about being around you... though you're not always up for putting in the effort.

http://www.blogthings.com/areyoucharmingquiz/">Are You Charming?

Isn't it ironic

You Are a Positive Person

No one would accuse you of being too negative! You're a naturally upbeat and optimistic person. Like everyone else, you come across things you can't stand every day. But unlike everyone else, you ignore what annoys you and focus on what uplifts you.

Are You Too Negative?

So most of the time this is true but in the light of the post below? HA!

You scream, I scream, we all scream for Blogthings!

Your Ice Cream Personality:

You like to think of yourself as a fairly modest person. And it's true that you don't talk yourself up... but you're also pretty happy with who you are. You are incredibly cautious. You rather miss out on something than make a mistake. No one would ever call you wild... but they would call you responsible. You are a somewhat open minded person, but deep down you're fairly conservative. You don't like trying new things very much. And if you do find something new you like, you stick with it. You tend to have a one track mind. You prefer not to multitask. You are fun loving and sweet. You tend to enjoy joking around and teasing people.

The Ice Cream Personality Test

Only 1 slight deviation from my personality...I can multi-task very well & don't mind it too much...but I'd rather not :)

What's in my fridge makes me want to run!

What Your Fridge Says About You

You like to be surrounded by things you love. You aren't exactly greedy, but you can be materialistic at times. You are a very thrifty person. You don't like to waste money... or food. You don't tend to be a very adventurous person, but you do surprise everyone now and then. You have a bit of a wild side. You try to be responsible, but you don't always succeed. Your heart is in the right place though. You are likely married, possibly with kids.

What Do the Contents of Your Refrigerator Say About You?

For the most part this is right on, I do hate to waste money & food...but I do it anyway & it drives me nuts!

Your Response is: Flight

You rather leave then deal with a dangerous or uncomfortable situation. You can't deal with too much drama or stress. It's really hard for you to cope. You are easily scared, freaked out, or intimidated. And while it's good to be prudent, not everything may be as freaky as it seems!

How Do You Respond: Fight or Flight?

Sadly, this one is right too. I'm a ninny that hates confrontation, what can I say?

How do you rate?

Conclusive proof of miracles, rit ch'ere on mah blog

Your Vocabulary Score: A-

Congratulations on your multifarious vocabulary! You must be quite an erudite person.

How's Your Vocabulary?

This is truly funny because I barely graduated High School. (Sadly this is the truth, I just squeaked by due to A's in choir - all else were C- and below, usually way below.) But I've always loved reading, I guess it pays off! :)

I'm cereal...really I am!

You Are Corn Flakes

You are traditional and easy going. If something is high quality, you're satisfied with it. You don't need much variety or novelty in your life. You're happy with what you have. You're quite loyal. You're the type of person who eats the same breakfast every day... And likely at the exact same time each day!

What Kind of Cereal Are You?

Thank God I'm a country girl

You Should Live in the Country

You are laid back, calm, and good at entertaining yourself. You don't need an expensive big city to keep you busy. You'll take the peaceful life over the stressful life any day of the week.

Where Should You Live?

All I gotta say is AaaaaaMen!

Love that chocolate

What Your Taste in Chocolate Says About You

You are sweet, mellow, and easily satisfied. You don't like anything too intense and dramatic. Deep down, you're a kid at heart... and you're nostalgic for the past. You are down to earth and lovable. A true friend, you're very tolerant and understanding. In fact, your friends' biggest problem is that they don't like each other! You love the feeling of accomplishment. You enjoy doing what's important. You feel lost when you have to do frivolous tasks or hang out with shallow people.

The Chocolate Oracle

You Are Country Music

You are friendly, down to earth, and fairly conservative. You are true to your friends and your upbringing. Change is hard for you. But beneath your old fashioned attitude, you are expressive and artistic in your own way. Very few people can express pain and pleasure as eloquently as you can.

What Kind of Music Are You?

Both of these are true to my character but as I LOVE chocolate, I'm not a huge fan of country music. It's ok & I've gone through phases when I couldn't get enough of it but generally not a fan. But the description is just about right on.
So how bout you?
