To-Do List and Quotes

December is always such a busy month. And not just because of Christmas, though most of what I must do is Christmas related.

• Finish Christmas shopping, including stocking stuffers for the kids.
• Pay the car insurance this Friday.
• Get the car inspected next week and get the registration renewed for the car and Charlie's car hauler.
• Pay for Sean's Karate classes tomorrow.
• Mail off an ornament for an ornament exchange I participate in with some online friends.
• Get the tree up and decorate the house for Christmas. Including putting lights on the bushes outside. I need someone to get the Christmas boxes down out of the attic. The boxes are too big and heavy for me. Not to mention I'm afraid of heights and can't climb up into the attic.
• Wrap presents.
• Fix Christmas dinner. I haven't decided yet what I'm going to make.

The car was in bad need of an oil change. (It was practically panting for it.) I got that taken care of this morning.

I think that's it. It's possible that I'm forgetting something.

What type of wife are you

Niki got Perfect Wife.

You are destined to be a good wife. The all-American wife waiting at home getting dinner ready for when the hubby gets home from work. With two or three kids.

Destined to be a good wife? I already am a good wife. :-D

My current Facebook status:

"I can never remember the real words to Oh Christmas Tree since reading Catmas Carols.

"Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree, your ornaments shine temptingly.
Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree, your ornaments shine temptingly.
I want to wack them with my paw and chase them when they hit the floor.
Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree, your ornaments shine temptingly."

"Do not give away to others what you have not first given away at home."

"A man who's wrapped up in himself makes a very small package."

Which Marvel Superhero are you? (Realistic)

You are a romantic at heart, but enjoy the thrill of danger. You'll do anything for the people you love and respect. People admire you for your giving nature and compassion. Your loyalty makes you trustworthy and respected.

Quiz Results and a Song

No energy and feeling bored. I just took a few quizzes at Facebook. The results were mostly accurate.

Which element are you? -- Air

My Result: Air.
Hey there, Air. How are you doing? In your default form you are by far the gentlest of the elements, the most altruistic of the elements, the easiest to be around. People who are close to you relish that closeness as if you were the oxygen they breathe. Though when you are such an honest and true individual sometimes it is easy for others to move through life as if you are invisible to them, pushing you around and hurting you in ways they would never imagine doing to say, water or fire. Little do they know that air can be pushed too far and all it takes is a few powerful gusts from this angry element to get a point across, though not without a rush of guilt and second thoughts to follow. Your place in the world: The genuine soul and emotional helper to those in need. A breath of fresh air.

What kind of mask do you wear? -- Beauty

My Result: Beauty

Your mask is Beauty. You are beautiful inside and out. You aren't too aware of your beauty, although all the people around you are. There are times when you feel like you're wearing a mask, but no one around you can notice the difference with or without it. You may feel vulnerable at times, but you usually get through it. You sometimes wish you had someone to help you through those tough times, but you are always hopeful and don't give up easily. People who first meet you notice your beauty at a glance, but most people notice it when they get to really know you.

My Result: Compassion

What is your Best Trait?

You don't judge others' faults but rather have compassion on them and what they are going through. Your first instinct when you see someone in need is to comfort them and show them how much you care. You are gracious, and love flows out of you naturally. Even in situations where most people would back away, you are right there for people with your arms wide open. You feel empathy for those who suffer, and this might be because of your kind nature or maybe even because you can relate; whatever the reason, you help heal wounds and are a shoulder to cry on.

I also took the Five Love Languages quiz and got Physical Touch as my love language, with Quality Time a close second.


***Edited in***

I didn't want to start a separate entry for this. It would be my third entry today if I did.

Anyone remember this song? Sure you do. This was back when Mariah Carey had class as a singer. Such a pretty song.

Fanny Price, Alice and Physical Touch

Which Jane Austen Heroine Are You?

My result is: Fanny Price

"You are smart and shy, a quiet beauty with brains that intimidate everyone around you. You often feel out of place, homeless and alone. As an intellectual idealist, you long to be heard and understood, but rarely waste your time trying to defend yourself to those who could not possibly understand. Time and experience is making you bolder. Despite your clever genius, you long for simplicity, and the love of your soul mate, who is a socially surprising and unlikely match."

What 'Twilight' character are you?

My result is: Alice!

"You try to make yourself and others happy. You always find a way to get what you want. Caring for others is your major duty, and you do it without complaining.
"You have real grace with everything you do, and people fall for you easily. You make a great caretaker and friend to those you feel the need to."

What 'Twilight' character are you? - take this quiz!

Your results for What's your love language?

Physical touch

"Your primary language of love is physical touch. A hug or a touch on the shoulder can comfort you and show you how much a loved one cares for you. Especially when you're feeling down, physical touch more than anything else can cheer you up and bring you closer to loved ones."

Quizzes and Surveys

I'm bored and took a few quizzes at Facebook. Here are the results. I may post something more interesting later.

What "Why Did I Get Married?" Character are you?

Result: Sheila

"You are the definition of a real lover. You love unconditionally. Anyone who meets you is really blessed. You love hard. Sometimes you are blinded by love and you let others walk over you. You are a beautiful person inside and out. You are too good to settle for less."

Which mighty woman of the Bible are you most like?

Result: You are most like ESTHER

"You have a charisma; a way of having favor with people. You are beautiful in spirit, and when you are in dire situations, you tend to seek God to find your courage to overcome them. When the need arises, you will stand firm in your faith. You are true royalty, with your humble & gentle spirit you maintain, in spite of your obvious popularity."

As I said at Facebook, I don't know about charisma or popularity, but the rest pretty much fits.

What Country Song Tells Your Story?

The result is Love Story - Taylor Swift.

"You are completely and utterly in love and can't imagine yourself with anyone else. You're a dreamer, and just want your "happily ever after." To you, life is a fairy tale, and you want your love story to fit the description perfectly. You are usually optimistic and always want the best for everbody, but sometimes you doubt yourself and lose confidence in others. Don't worry, your prince will be here soon to sweep you off your feet and make everything ok."

I don't listen to country music, but I've heard this song a few times. I'd say this description fits me.

The Real You.

The result is The True Believer.

"You've been through a lot in your life. Broken and bruised, you still keep going. You tend to hold promises dear to yourself. You would never lie to yourself. You believe in people and you see the true beauty in everything. Family and friends, whether small or big, you keep them close to you; they mean everything to you. You couldn't bear to break anyone; it would hurt you the most. You don't believe in happy endings, but you do believe that there is always light to every dark; hope to every lost cause; beauty in the filth; two sides to every story. You believe that no one should be alone; you've been through that as well. Congratulations, true believer; keep being honest to yourself and others. Let no one tell you otherwise. You walk a long road, believer. Don't stop."

Mostly true. Though I do believe in happy endings.
