Self Awareness

Things I learned about myself at lunch today while wasting time taking internet personality quizzes:
I am a martini;
I am 44% open minded;
I am french food;
I am 37% American;
I am a Mondrian;
I am 63% liberal;
I am very honest;
I am a cream pie;
I am a centaur;
and last but not least, the recent president that I am most like: Bill Clinton.

here’s my favorite description of the “tests” I took:

You Are a Glazed Donut

Okay, you know that you’re plain – and you’re cool with that.
You prefer not to let anything distract from your sweetness.
Your appeal is understated yet universal. Everyone dig you.
And in a pinch, you’ll probably get eaten.

I have more than 11,000 words written on my NaNoWriMo project. And it still doesn’t seem to have a plot.

I woke up this morning with no voice and a head full of congestion. Poppy is teething, and she may have a touch of the cold I seem to have come down with. I see alot of PBS in our future today. And with that in mind…


You Are Cookie Monster


Misunderstood as a primal monster, you’re a true hedonist with a huge sweet tooth.

You are usually feeling: Hungry. Cookies are preferred, but you’ll eat anything if cookies aren’t around.

You are famous for: Your slightly crazy eyes and usual way of speaking

How you life your life: In the moment. “Me want COOKIE!”
