Is it me?????? What do you think?

You Are An ESFJ
The Caregiver

You are sympathetic and caring, putting friends and family first.
A creature of habit, you prefer routines and have trouble with change.
You love being in groups - whether you're helping people or working on a project.
You are good at listening, laughing, and bringing out the best in people.

In love, you value harmony and mutual understanding.
You will apologize or give someone the benefit of the doubt, if it means getting over a fight sooner.

At work, you are good at building relationships and connecting with people.
You would make a great nurse, social worker, or teacher.

How you see yourself: Organized, dependable, co-operative

When other people don't get you, they see you as: Opinionated, critical, and know-it-all

Seven and Seven

I was tagged for this meme by Making a Person. I am fairly new to the blog world so it really feels good not only to be looked at but TAGGED TOO. How cool is that I ask you! Well, it's really cool but the real reason I am doing this is that she has flung a hex on anyone that doesn't do it and I really don't want scabby boils on my butt. Hexes aside, she has a really great blog and an absolutely STUNNING baby girl so head on over there and check her out after you read all these goofy things about me.....


Here are the rules:

1. Link to the person’s blog who tagged you.

2. Post these rules on your blog.

3. List seven random and/or weird facts about yourself

4. Tag seven random people at the end of your post and include links to their blogs.

5. Let each person know that they have been tagged by posting a comment on their blog.


Here goes:
1. I love ink pens. Any kind of ink pen. Especially different colors. You hand me an unusual color marker or pen, I am a happy happy girl.


2. Autumn is my favorite time of year. I love the colors.....the reds, oranges, mossy greens and golds. AHHHHHHHHH I love the crisp air as the temperature changes from hot to cool (we don't get "cold" in South Carolina) Put me in a turtle neck and sweater, hand me a red maple leaf and I am a happy happy girl.

3. I really don't care for chickens. You know. Live chickens. I love all animals and am very tender hearted concerning them. I will cry during a western movie if a horse falls down, could care less if a cowboy gets shot but, I don't like chickens. If I had to survive by killing my own food.....poultry all the way baby. Wouldn't bother me a bit. However, no more beef or pork for this girl.


4. I love games. Not play with your head mean people games but board, dice and card games. Give me a good round of Rook, Domino's, Clue, Yahtzee, Trivial Pursuit, Operation, Rummy, Sorry, even good old Monopoly and, you guessed it........I am a happy happy girl.


5. I can bake and decorate cakes pretty darn well. I have made wedding cakes even but I CAN NOT MAKE BREAD! I either come out with something you could use as building materials (bricks) or something gooey and unrecognizable.......sigh. Probably a good thing though cause if I could make bread I would most likely weigh around 783 lbs.


6. I have a very hard time controlling my anger when people that call themselves Christians do things like protest at the funerals of our wonderful fallen soldiers with some kind of ridiculous reasoning concerning homosexuality OR turn a family away from their church because one of the family members has AIDS...............AAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGG. I know I need to pray for them and love them but there are times that I just want to back over the lot of them with a steamroller......did I say that out loud?


7. I love Winnie The Pooh stuff. Not just stuffed animals stuff but tv shows, movies, clothing, and especially the books. I don't really like reading them out loud to Noah because they have some difficult passages (OK. stop laughing and go try it yourself and get back to me!) but I just love the writing and characters. Eeyore and Tigger are my favorites......Rabbit kinda gets on my nerves.


OK ya'll - tag! You're it!

Magner's Random Ramblings

Modern Day Cavalcade

All That Naz

Training Up In The Way

Shoo Fly Pie And Grits

Well Mannered Frivolity

Stragglingband

I think I may have double tagged a couple of you....sorry if so. If any of you don't wish to cooperate, um I mean.....play, well, that's just fine. I"ll try not to take it as a rejection.....sniff sniff.

JUST KIDDING. Play if ya want to. If not, no worries!!

Streamers and confetti.....



The morning of my birthday I woke up to confetti and streamers!!! Yes! Yes it is true. First thing after waking up, I, like everyone else I know, went into the little girls room only to find that it had been decorated with yes, you guessed it, streamers and confetti.....at least that is what I tried to tell myself. Let me know what you think!




I am pretty sure I know who did it....................


VERY tired after all that work!

I had a wonderful birthday by the way. Thank you to all who called and sang and emailed and "sang". Thanks for the cards, both snail mail and email. Thanks to my husband for making me feel so very special on my special day. Just so you can all understand how great he really is, I woke to him singing happy birthday, a screen saver saying "happy birthday", I received e-cards through the day, he helped Noah with a card for me, he had a really sweet card for me and he went straight to my heart with a gift card to Michael's craft store....gasp! (insert picture of kid in candy store here).

Also, as if that isn't enough, my friend Jennifer got me some scrapbook paper (shriek!), my friend Jeanie bought me lunch on Monday, dinner on Tuesday and accompanied me to Michael's for my spree (and my wonderful husband kept Noah so I could shop without "help"). She also got me a giant football mug, for my Diet Coke/iced tea/water habit, a beautiful autumn table runner, an autumn scrapbook set, a bundle of scrapbook paper in my best colors and a dark chocolate bar (gasp, shriek, YUM). My parents had to go out of town unexpectedly but I was told that I am to remember to get my gift and card when I see them tonight and that they will be taking me and the family out for a meal to celebrate. I'm sure they did more than they should have. They ALWAYS do. My parents spoil me rotten. My husband spoils me rotten. My friends and extended family spoil me rotten. You know what that means ya'll? Well, facts are facts. All these people are gifts from God and I am..........Just Plain Blessed!!!!!
