Some hints....

Since people so far (besides Jeff) have tanked my quiz, instead of making a new one I'm going to pass out some hints:

1. By 'first real job' I only mean one I actually had to fill out tax forms for.
2. As for the car, drive by Mark Plumlee's house.
3. I'm left handed.
4. The wedding song I had picked out from the time I was 12.

Try this for my quiz.

OK since I can't do things the simple way, I think I figured out the web address you can type in to go to my quiz. Try it and let me know if it works.

Oh, the Insanity!!

I have two words for you: dance recital. Make you start sweating?? Feeling a little jittery?? What is it about something that should be as simple as a dance recital for a four year old that makes me want to do drugs?? Is it the fear of not being able to wash off the freakishly-bright lipstick? The real possibility that I could do permanant damage to her sight by poking her in the eye with eyeliner and a mascara wand?? ARRRRRGGGGG!!!
As I drove away from ECU this afternoon and headed straight home to a bottle of wine, I wanted to call Amy and sob "Why didn't we listen to you??!!". I remember two years ago when she was going through all this as she dropped off part of our dinner the week after Kendall was born. Maybe it was the hormone haze or the lack of sleep, but obviously it didn't sink in at the time (either that or I'm slightly masochistic). The only thing that perks me up is that Randi & Amanda (bless them) said Grace & Maggie looked like they were having a blast (hope that makes you sleep better, Kiah; I know I will) and Maggs loves the whole makeup/pretty costume thing. She doesn't seem to be aware of the chaos around her. Oh to be four years old and live totally in the moment. I think I should try it!!!

Sound like me??

The Nurturer: You have a strong need to belong, and you very loyal.A good listener, you excell at helping others in practical ways.In your spare time, you enjoy engaging your senses through art, cooking, and music.You find it easy to be devoted to one person, who you do special things for.You would make a good interior designer, chef, or child psychologist.

Obviously I'm not very good at the copy/paste thing to get it from point A to point B as it looked on the original webpage. How do you move these things around??

Here's to a new week......

It seems like everybody I talked to had at least one incident last week they could easily have done without. Whether it was dealing with pre-schooler tantrums, illness, hubbys or other family members, there was a point where all of us were thinking "This bites!" as we teared-up and randomly spilled our guts to those sitting around us (thanks to all of you who listened to me, by the way). So my wish for everybody is to have a better week. I think all of you deserve it!!
