Exceedingly Mundane

Well, well, well. I love these things, whether the results seem right or not! 🙂

You’re Oregon!
When people talk about peace in the valley, they often think of you.
After all, you’ve inspired countless people to traverse rough terrain in search of you
and even think about you when playing popular computer games. Are you really up to all
the hype or are you all wet? You take shelter from the storm beneath trees, felled by
either loggers or beavers. If you were a shade of pink, it would be salmon.

Take the State Quiz
at the Blue Pyramid.

Stolen from SusiePie:

Go to Wikipedia and look up your birthday (excluding the year). List three neat facts, two births and one death in your journal, including the year.

Births:

Death:

Woo-hoo, one of my many loves, besides reading, TV, the computer, etc… I love to cook, I love kitchen appliances and gadgets, love grocery shopping, LOVE collecting cookbooks. Yippee! 😀

You Are an Excellent Cook

You’re a top cook, but you weren’t born that way. It’s taken a lot of practice, a lot of experimenting, and a lot of learning. It’s likely that you have what it takes to be a top chef, should you have the desire…

I swiped this from Dawn’s blog last week… thanks, Dawn!

What brand do you usually buy/use??

Feel free to swipe this and play along in your own blog, or here in the comments section. 🙂

I must admit, I had never heard of a Johari window until I was reading SusiePie’s post here. It seems a fairly interesting concept. I thought it might make an interesting entry for my blog, since most of the people who read my blog actually do know me in real life. Pretty well, actually. Which, on the other hand, is sorta scary, so maybe this wasn’t such a great idea! 🙂 Oh well. Here we go:

Wikipedia defines a Johari Window as “a metaphorical tool intended to help people better understand their interpersonal communication and relationships. It is used primarily in self-help groups and corporate settings as a heuristic exercise.”

Here’s what I need all of my faithful blog readers to do – go to this website and pick 5 or 6 words that you think describe me. {Shudder} Thanks!

From this website:

At the movie theater, where do you choose to sit? What do you buy at the concession?

Very timely question, considering our new theater opened this past weekend and it’s just wonderful. (You can go back and read about it here.) Tim and I both like the top section, and we prefer to sit about 2/3 of the way towards the top. I really prefer to sit closer to the aisle (because I usually drink something and then have to go to the restroom), but Tim likes the middle of the aisle. He wants to be smack dab in the middle of the screen 🙂 Normally, our concession purchases consist of Diet Coke and a big tub of popcorn. At our new theater, we have a lot more choices! I had a cappuccino Saturday, and we can get cheesecake, tiramisu, muffins, candy, chicken tenders, mozzarella sticks, corn dogs, pizza and other good stuff. 🙂 We’ll probably stick to popcorn and Diet Coke or coffee though!

Duh, no surprises here… I’m not very athletic and not into breakneck sports like luge and bobsledding. While I enjoy watching them, I seriously doubt I would ever attempt them! 🙂

Go check it out and see which sport you would be best at!

You Are Curling

What you lack in athleticism, you make up for in concentration. And while curling isn’t much more of a sport than bowling, you *can* win a gold medal for it!

These were harder than you would imagine… I feel very special to have gotten 5 out of 8 correct! Go take it for yourself and post your results in the form of a comment, or at your own blog. 🙂

You Know a Lot About Blogging

You got 5/8 correct! Your not a total blogging geek yet… give it time.

I saw this posted at my favorite scrapbooking board…. Click here to go take a quick spelling quiz. It covers 15 of the most commonly misspelled words in the English language.

Have fun! Be sure to post your results in the form of a comment, if you’d like to play along! 🙂

Well, lookie here, I’m something chocolate! Surprise, surprise!!! 😀

Reeses Peanut Butter Cups

Very popular, one of you is not enough.

Well, I was blog surfing and found I had been tagged by not one, but two, different people for the same little questionnaire. 😯 I had tried to swear off these for a while, but I hate not doing the quiz and playing along. I won’t tag anyone else though, but feel free to play along if you’d like!

I was tagged by Kathy and Dawn:

5 things about me

What were you doing 10 years ago? Planning my wedding and honeymoon

Five songs in which you KNOW all the lyrics:
I’d be hard pressed to come up with 5 songs that I don’t know all the lyrics too. It’s something I’ve been good at, all of my life. My mom even wrote in my baby book that I knew all the words to a lot of songs when I was little, like 4 or 5. If I like I song, I know all the words. I could name hundreds, just have to go down the playlists on my iPod. 🙂

Five things you would do if you were a millionaire:
1. Buy a very large home, with a gourmet kitchen and a place for Tim’s pool table he wants
2. Travel
3. Save money for our retirement
4. Take all of our family on a fun vacation
5. Buy a cabin in the mountains for our “winter home” 😀

Five bad habits:
1. Speaking what’s on my mind without thinking about it first (0pen mouth, insert foot)
2. Biting my fingernails
3. Being negative
4. Procrastinating
5. Wasting too much time on the PC / watching TV

Five things you like doing:
1. Playing on the computer
2. Taking photos
3. Reading
4. Watching TV
5. Hanging out with Tim

5 things you would never wear, buy or get again:
1. a Pontiac automobile

3. a bathing suit, if I can help it
4. an icemaker that drips
5. can’t think of anything else off the top of my head

Five favorite toys:
1. my new camera
2. my iPod
3. our new smart remote
4. my computer/Internet connection
5. caller id!

OK, I knew when I saw this (came via email), that I had to go take this quiz. See, it’s a running joke around our house that my little obsessive-compulsive neat freak-isms are sort of like Monk on the USA network show of the same name. We love that show and watch it when we remember to tape it (it’s on opposite Battlestar Galactica, duh, a no-brainer, you know what I’ll be watching). Tim is forever calling me Monk or Mrs. Monk when he thinks I’m doing something a little too OCD.

But, HAH, I showed him! 😆 The quiz (go here to take it) showed that I wasn’t very Monk-ish at all! I tried to cut and paste my results, but it wouldn’t let me, so I made a graphic of the screen shot.

See…. I’m remotely normal after all!

P.S. No silly comments about how not-normal I am. I reserve the right to delete any comment I do not approve of. hahahaha

OK, blog readers, here’s a quiz for the day… see if you can identify the penny correctly. Sounds easy, right? Yup, that’s what I thought. Click here to take the test. Be sure to post your results in a comment.

And, for what it’s worth, I didn’t pick it correctly. I didn’t go look at a penny and cheat, and I missed it. 🙁
