You Are Affectionate

Your life is full of love and friendship - and you always have more to give.

You have an open heart. You are willing to take that leap and put your faith in people.

You see the good in everyone and everything. You are a very sympathetic person.

The people you love make you very happy. You feel warmly toward those around you.

What Kind of Happy Are You?

Seriously?

You Are Vanilla

You are a delightful, friendly person. You are optimistic about life and people.

You are enthusiastic and energetic. You enjoy everything you do.

You are cooperative and flexible. You get along with people from many walks of life.

You're not a show off. Instead, you're more likely to help other people shine.

Are You Chocolate or Vanilla?

I might be vanilla, but I'd be covered in chocolate!!!!

pondering

So I was reading some old posts ... and I ran across the ones where we lost the baby in 2005. I had a better attitude about things then. I think I've become calloused. This time around, it is different, though, there is no hope for another baby. My tubes are tied, no babies here! There is hope in the sense that we could adopt, were we ever able to get our own house & have room for another child.

However, I am blessed. God has been good to us. We have three wonderful boys. I think I was hoping for a different view of God. I know He is still here, still caring & providing for us, I just wish He would have let the baby live. We'll have to wait and see what all is in store. :)

scents

okay, what is it about scents & tastes that send you down memory lane?? The other day I had a teensy-weensy bite of Jeff's chicken fried steak from Denny's. All of a sudden I remembered Paraguay! It was like I'd never left, I remembered the smells, and the way the food tasted, how we had chicken fried steak almost every night while we were there ... :) it was a great trip (both times). :)

Then, last night at work, I smelled something else. I can't even place my finger on which cleaner or scent it was, but BAM! Suddenly I was back at the bank we (my mom, dad & I) used to clean by the ocean. Remembering how it used to smell like cigarettes and coffee, and how I used to clean the windows outside and dream of living on the beach. :) Wonder if Mom & Dad ever wondered why it was taking me so long to wash the windows??

You Are Country

You'll take natural beauty and quiet over the hustle and bustle of the city.

You can appreciate the simple things in life, and it doesn't take much for you to feel content.

While you appreciate the many opportunities of the city, you see them as too much of a good thing.

You love living a peaceful life. It's important that you can hear yourself think.

Are You City or Country?
