    EJ 101 (about me)

    Your Mind is Green
     Of all the mind types, yours has the most balance.
    You are able to see all sides to most problems and are a good problem solver.
    You need time to work out your thoughts, but you don't get stuck in bad thinking patterns.

    You tend to spend a lot of time thinking about the future, philosophy, and relationships (both personal and intellectual).

    Words I overuse? Random and nice.  And Cheerios totally rock (though Lucky Charms is a rare indulgence).

    The hiker.  Yeah, she had been with a group that started the trail in Georgia and was now on her own in Maine.  She had been too ill to leave her tent so when she heard my loud voice she managed to get to the entrance of her campsite and wait for us.  I was so excited to "rescue" her I asked a zillion questions in the car, my parents had to ask me to stop pestering her.

    Ooh Steve and I want to get a permit for concealed weapons.  Of course I want to carry a katana but I think it would be a bit bulky ;)  Actually we need to take a class and buy guns first, kinda helpful.  What kind do you have?  My dad says to get a .41 magnum but I know nothing about guns.
     
    We should start our own online book club since we're such big readers.  I really like Jane Austen and some other classics but Dickens has always eluded me.
     
    Six siblings?!  Whew, my brother was enough for me, lol. 
     
    Geez, I want to comment on everything (these lists are so interesting) but I'll refrain.
     
    Have a fabulous weekend!

    I don't blog with my name either & only my spouse knows and reads me, I suppose for the same reasons as yours. The driving one surprised me. I didn't have a license until I was 23 & was already married.

    Ooh and I did my own visual DNA--great find, I love personality things.  Mine's up.  Look's like we are both escape artists and love bugs.

    This is a good idea especially because I haven't had much to say in my blog. 
     
    I keep my toenails painted too but I let the paint chip off at it's own pace.  I'm so lazy!!
