Friday, November 7, 2008 - How Hyper are You?
I really thought that I would score a lot higher on this one.
| You Are 60% Hyper |
 You live a busy, full, and productive life. You enjoy all sorts of activities, and you approach most tasks with enthusiasm. You are also naturally social. You have plenty of time and resources to devote to friends. While you are quite hyper, you do understand the importance of rest. It's difficult to get yourself to slow down, but when you do, you enjoy it. |

Friday, October 17, 2008 - Proximidade Award
My dear friend Heidi gave me this award this week. I have been blessed in so many ways by ‘meeting’ her through the blogging world. She always encourages me and lifts me up. I am so excited to be meeting her in person next week in Tennessee. I feel like we are kindred spirits.
According to {I}Post, the translation of the award is "This blog invests and believes, in the proximity"[meaning, that blogging makes us 'close' -being close through proxy]. I'm suppose to pass this on to 8 people.
This was super hard pick because everyone has been such a blessing to me over the years. But I finally decided on 8.
In no particular order I pass this award onto:
Ann Marie –Song of the Sagebrush
Dawn – my4sweetums
Kellie Ann –Hilltop Academy
Laurie – Teacups in the Garden
School in ‘R Home
Crossview
Leah- Courtney Family Happenings
Kristie – Welcome to Our Hive
Be sure to visit these wonderful ladies and explore their blogs. They are filled with all kinds of wonderful things.

Thursday, October 9, 2008 - What Kind of Cereal Are You?
You know how I love these little quizzes. I thought this one was fitting. Although some who know me know I'm really a 'Captain Crunch' kind of gal (seriously love that cereal), they may think this is more appropriate to my personality: very corny and a touch flaky.
| You Are Corn Flakes |
 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! |

Thursday, August 14, 2008 - What Your Fridge Says about You
I saw this quite a while ago on Heidi's blog. As I can't seem to resist these crazy little quizzes, I wanted to see what my fridge said about me. I already know what it says to me, like "Clean me" and "You know, I'm not a science lab" and "Yes, the light does go out when you shut my door" but I was surprised how insightful it really was.
| What Your Fridge Says About You |
 You tend to be a fairly thrifty person. You splurge occasionally, but you're mostly a saver. 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 are responsible, together, and mature. You act like an adult, even when you don't feel like it. You are likely single - and a workaholic. |
Well, there you have it. The unabridged opinion of a refridgerator. I can just image what my stove must think.

Wednesday, August 13, 2008 - Arte y Pico Award
My dear friend Dawn at my4sweetums has honored me with Arte y Pico Award. The award is dedicated to "those who nourish and enrich the spirit of creativity". Now a lot of bloggers have opted to be “No Award” Blogs, but I, personally, appreciate them. I think it is a blessing to have your blog recognized by those who read it. So I graciously accept it and pass it on to the following blogs: (I wish I could send it right back to Dawn because she not only nourishes and enriches the spirit of creativity but nourishes and enriches the Spirit. Thanks so much.)
Briget at Purity Seekers-Psalm 199:140 shares her crafting talents and herself through out her posts.
Laurie at Teacups in the Garden always has the very best ideas to make history come alive. Her sharing of the Tapestry of Grace Celebrations they have are inspirational.
You have to stop by School in ‘R Home and check out her Tot School and Lapbook posts. They are awesome.
Short on crafting ideas, Dianna at Homeschooling Adventures at the Maxwell’s may have just what you are looking for.
And Lynn at HSBiz and Eclectic Education shares with us resources to spark your imagination.

Wednesday, August 6, 2008 - A 1930's Wife
I can’t remember where I came across this one, but I found it to be quite entertaining. Apparently this was a test written by George W. Crane, MD, PhD, of Northwestern University in the 1930’s. He was a counselor who had a syndicated column called "The Worry Clinic" and began his own matchmaking service. The sort of traits one was measured by and the scale of ‘merits’ and ‘demerits’ that were applied to them amused me. Wonder how my ‘old fashioned’ ways would rate if there was a modern version of the same test? I shudder at the thought.

Monday, July 21, 2008 - Hubby Tag
We have been keeping ourselves active with all kinds of projects this summer so I've been kind of "blogged" down for time in writing posts. I've seen this tag around and thought it made for a good post. If you do this tag let me know. I'd love to read your answers.
1. Who is your man? Billy
2. How long have you been together? Been together 25+ years, married 24 in October.
3. How long dated? About a year and an half.
4. How old is your man? 4 years older than I am and you’ll have to figure out how old I am. LOL
5. Who eats more? It’s a tie
6. Who said "I love you" first? I wanted to, but he did.
7. Who is taller? He is.
8. Who sings better? me
9. Who is smarter? We both have our strong subjects.
10. Whose temper is worse? We both have our moments.
11. Who does the laundry? I almost always do.
12. Who takes out the garbage? He usually does.
13. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? I do.
14. Who pays the bills? He earns the money, I spend it.
15. Who is better with the computer? Definitely me.
16. Who mows the lawn? We both do, although he prefers to do it.
17. Who cooks dinner? I do.
18. Who drives when you are together? It depends. He usually does mostly because he picks on my driving. You know how professional drivers can be.
19. Who pays when you go out? I do, but again that’s because he earns the money and I spend it . LOL
20. Who is most stubborn? I think it’s a toss up.
21. Who is the first to admit when they are wrong? Wrong? Who’s ever wrong? Lol No, seriously, neither one of us has a problem with admitting when we are wrong.
22. Whose parents do you see the most? Mine, because they live close by.
23. Who kissed who first? He kissed me.
24. Who asked who out? He asked me out. It was funny, because his room mate at the time wanted to ask me out but couldn’t get up the nerve. So my husband asked him if he could ask me out. I’m so glad he did. I wasn’t interested in his roommate.
25. Who proposed? He did after asking my parents first.
26. Who is more sensitive? That would have to be me for sure.
27. Who has more friends? Hard to say. We have a lot of acquaintances but few people we call friends.
28. Who has more siblings? That’s kind of sad. He had a brother and 3 sisters, but his brother died from SIDS at 2 when my husband was about 12, and one of his sisters died a few years ago at 40 from cancer. I have 1 brother and 2 sisters.
29. Who wears the pants in the family? My husband is the head of our house, but he respects and values my opinions and we often compromise, though he has the final say.
30. How did you meet? A mutual friend introduced us. I wrote about our meeting back in October if you want more detail.
