What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

In like a lion -- out like a lamb?

Well, we at least know the first half is correct. And truthfully, I'm alright with this phrase, so long as someone can guarantee me that this is the last time we'll have to look at the white stuff this season.

Which brings me to Lent. Still struggling on what to sacrfice. Though truthfully, I've sacrificed enough over the last year that I'm thinking I deserve a little indulgence this season. Just sayin'....

So, I'm home being Domestic Supergoddess, doing what I do best on these days -- which is cooking. So far, I've made lemon poppy muffins - and sandwiches with hot cocoa made with milk for the kiddies after coming inside from playing. I've got home made chocolate chip cookie dough made so I can make cookies in a bit. I've got a beautiful rib eye roast marinating in the oven -- presliced, might I add. I scored this 6lb roast pre sliced at my local market. For a score of a price! Now, why is it when I want to make a roast during the holidays I have to pay through my nose for it? But I digress....I've got that marinated and waiting to be cooked, along with roasted potatoes, asparagus and salad.

Did I mention I like to cook on snow days?

The Snow Test

Eat, drink...and be scary!!

Or not so scary...as in my obvious result below:

You Should Be a Fairy for Halloween

You Are a Vampire

You are charming, sensual, and even a bit manipulative. You can't help but get people to do what you want. You have sharp senses and a strong predatory instinct. You go after what you want, without mercy. While you have the heart of a killer, many people are drawn to you. You are elegant, timeless, and mysterious. You are the ultimate fantasy object.

Are You a Vampire or a Werewolf?

What I am is what I am...are you what you are, or what?

1. Is it difficult for you to look into someone's eyes when you are talking to them?
I don't know how to not look someone in the eye. That would be odd for me. I've always been a very straight forward kind of person, and you can't connect to anyone if you don't look them in the eye. I generally don't trust someone if they are shifty eyed -- though sometimes it's just a lack of confidence rather than a character issue; but that’s where a judgment call comes in. Even when I do public speaking, I make eye contact with people in the audience. I'm definitely a "warm fuzzy" kind of person when it comes to interacting with others.


2. You are on a flight from Honolulu to Chicago non-stop. There is a fire in the back of the plane. You get enough time to make ONE phone call. Who would you call?
Oh, why are these thought provoking questions always so dark? First, let me preface this by saying I hope I never have to think about this in real life! Depends on who I'm travelling with... if I'm alone, it's G. If not, then I guess my Mother. But I wouldn't want her to worry because me being the eternal optimist would be convinced that we can make an emergency landing somewhere. Then it would be "no harm no foul". No need to get everyone all worked up over nothing.

3. You have to choose between your significant other and your best friend, who do you choose?
Why would I ever have to choose? Should be a complete and total non-issue. I'm not 16. And even then – I’d never make that kind of a choice. That’s just silliness.

4.You are at the doctor's office and she has just informed you that you have approximately one month to live..
(A) Do you tell anyone/everyone you are going to die?
No. I don’t know. I’d tell everyone that is in my immediate circle…but I wouldn’t tell everyone I know because, you know – Ms. Eternal Optomist would be hoping/praying/believing that they were wrong and that I can overcome anything if I just put my mind to it. Besides, I don’t like people being fake, and I wouldn’t want someone being nice just because they felt that they “had to”. Not that I encounter many not nice people, but there are some in my “immediate vicinity” who aren’t always kind – I wouldn’t want them to suddenly “kill me with kindness” (no pun intended) because they think they need to in order to be a “good person”. Insincerity irritates me.

(B) What do you do with your remaining days?
Living. Laughing. Loving. Sounds corny, but seriously – what else matters?


(C) Would you be afraid?
Yes, a little. I wouldn’t’ want to be uncomfortable – nor would I want my kids to see me unhealthy. But I’d definitely be opportunistic. :)

5. You can have one of the following two things: trust or love?
I can't have one without the other, and I refuse to compromise. If I love you – I trust you. I don’t believe that it can truly be love if you can't trust the person. But…I think trust can exist independent of love, though. I trust people that I don’t have affection for.

6. You are walking down the street on your way to work. There is a dog drowning in the canal on the side of the street. Your boss has told you if you are late one more time you get fired. What do you do?
First of all, I’d never be in that situation. But I’m pretending, right? Okay… I’d gladly accept the firing. If my boss that was much of a jerk to discontinue my services because I stopped to save a helpless creature – he/she is so not someone I’d want to associate with anyway.

7. If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?
Only one place, huh? Italy.

8. Think of the last person who you really knew that died. You have the chance to give them 1 hour of life back, but you have to give one year of your life. Is it okay for you?
In a heartbeat.

9. Are you the kind of person that you would want to have as a friend?
I am. Except for the fact that I tend to withdraw and keep to myself when I’m going through “stuff”. I’m a great listener, great helper – but don’t accept/need/want assistance from anyone when I’m struggling with something, so I prefer to keep to myself. I’ll sort of not be involved socially with things when I’m not happy with how things are going. That’s a little unfair I think… but, hey – I’m a Virgo. What can you do.

10. Does love = sex?
I think for many, the answer is no. But for just as many, the answer is yes. Some people don’t feel loved unless they’re physically intimate.
For me it’s no. I don’t need physical intimacy for someone to show me they love me.
There are many other ways for me to know that I’m loved, physically is just one way.

11. One of your best friend dies, what would you do?
Be quiet. Take it all in – and then try to help their family out as best I can.

12. When was the last time you told someone HONESTLY how you felt?
When don’t I? I’m not a game player. There is no “reading between the lines” with me.
Except in my blog occasionally….but that’s because I’m not directly addressing anyone.

13. What would be harder for you, to tell someone you love them or that you hate them?
Neither. It is what it is. I’ve never truly hated anyone….though I’ve been really pissed off to the point that I am disgusted. But truly hate? I don’t know if I have that in me.

14. What do you think would be the last thing for you to give up on?
Myself.

15. Excluding romantic love, when was the last time you told someone you love them?
My kids. Multiple times daily. My pets, always. My immediate family (e.g. parents, sister) – not that often actually. But as much as my Mother would say “I love you”, it wasn’t to the same extreme of frequency that I do it with my kids, so it’s not that big of a deal I don’t think.

16. If you had to go back in time and change one thing, what would you do?
I don’t know. I’m glad of where I am in life; I don’t have any regrets…if I changed even one thing – I wouldn’t be who I am today. And I like my life. Sure, there are things about it that I’m not always happy with but that’s life in general. We don’t always love our job, etc… but that’s all fluid, and can change at any time. Everything is temporary…..

17. Imagine. It is a dark night, you are alone, it is raining outside, you hear a noise. What do you do?
Try to go to sleep anyway. Plus, I always have a dog. They’re the BEST alarm system!

18. Would you give a stranger CPR if they were dying?
Absolutely!

19. Are you old-fashioned?
It depends on what you’re talking about. That’s really too broad of a question. In some ways I am – others not so much.

20. Which would you choose, true love with a guarantee of a heartbreak or to never have love?
It is better to have loved and lost – than never to have loved at all. Cliché, but I believe it.

Namaste...

If only Jason was as big of a fan of me...as I am of him. hahahaa....

From fashion to final score....

What Your Brown Outfit Means

You're not too classic, not too funky - just up on the latest trends. You know what looks good on you, and you love to shop! You project a smart sense of style, which makes people see you as competent. Designer match: Rebecca Beeson Signature accessory: A slim leather belt

How Your Favorite Outfit Tells What Kind of Girl You Are

So, after having this fun little blogthing, I decided to check out Ms. Rebecca Beeson's line. After all, with the name Rebecca, she's got to be amazing, right?

So, I love her site. Simple, classic. Streamlined. Nice.

Fashion style....eh. I guess some of her Spring 2007 blouses are something I'd buy. But truthfully, I'm just not a high fashion kinda gal. I sort of see myself as being more simple mainstream. Ann Taylor, Anne Klein, Donna Karan.
Never mind any of the random name product lines that I find at TJ Maxx.

Then of course there's the traditional sweats, yoga gear and baseball hats that I wear on any given day out of the office.

Which leads me to....last night's game. Manny being Manny, hitting the walkoff homerun last night. Unbelievable. (Like the segue?) I watched the Yankees game to the end, and could not believe Rivera was blowing yet another save. The bugs were pretty disgusting. But, how the Yankees let that one slip away is just beyond me.
Getting back to the Sox - I have to say, and I've said this before -- I'm not loving Dice K this season. I just hope he has an amazing come back year next season, because I'm really nervous about his pitching these next few series, should we get to play.

Tomorrow, I'm hoping to watch game 3 seal the deal for the next round. But then again -- aren't we all?

What are you doing today?

It's Saturday and once again - a birthday party! We actually have two today, but truthfully one is in our town - the other down the Cape and I am just not up to doing both. So the local pool party it is! The birthday party from last night was a lot of fun too - all the kids heading down to the local Carnival in town was great, and it gave me a chance to spend time with the other Mothers as well. It's kind of nice to make different friends in the town you live in, especially since I'm not a "townie".

You are a Romantic Realist

Happy Monday!

You Are Impressionism

You think the world is quite beautiful, especially if you look at it in new and interesting ways. You tend to focus on color and movement in art. For you, seeing the big picture is much more important than recording every little detail. You can find inspiration anywhere... especially from nature.

What Art Movement Are You?

Your Dosha is Pitta

What's Your Dosha?

Babel? How about Babble!

Little recommendation for you. Don't rent this if at all possible. While it was interesting at times to think of how the movie was going....it was such a disappointment overall. What does Babel mean? Why were Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett angry with each other? What did the Japanese girl really have to do with anything? And why did it end at the point before it started? These are just some of the issues I had. If anyone has seen it and really liked it - please feel free to enlighten me because clearly I missed the point on this one.

Let the games begin...

It now seems that the media and the candidates are starting their frenzy for the Presidential Race. It's been simmering in the background over the past few months, but I've really noticed it starting to move forward over the past week or so.

My vote is up for grabs. I vote by conscience - not by party. Issues matter to me - not partisan politics. I want to be motivated to vote. I want to identify with a candidate. I want to be excited about the change that can be forthcoming.

I saw a sneak preview of the Mitt Romney commercial that is going to be airing shortly. I've got to tell you -- it was the best political commercial I've ever seen. Now, does that mean he'd have my vote? Of course not. But with regards to campaign commercials this one was really good. Nothing flashy, no schmaltzy video montages. He just had a good point and drove it home.

Hilary, looked fresh and recently coiffed (possibly facelifted) in her video clip from this morning. It's going to be an interesting campaign season....very interesting.
