So, I'm reading Aaron/Savannah's blog while eating lunch and come across this personality quiz. I have a few minutes, so I take it. Come to find out, it's one similar to one I took in my college class. Same results, different take on test. THAT makes it legit!
The Nurturer
You have a strong need to belong, and you're very loyal.
A good listener, you excel at helping others in practical ways.
In your spare time, you enjoy engaging your senses through art, cooking, and music.
You find it easy to be devoted to one person... a partner who you do special things for. In love, you express your emotions through actions. Taking care of someone is how you love them. And you do it well!
At work, you do well in a structured environment. You complete tasks well and on time. You would make a good interior designer, chef, or child psychologist.
How you see yourself: Competent, dependable, and detail oriented
When other people don't get you, they see you as: Boring, dominant, and stuck in a rut
Yep, that's me!!
Try it!! http://www.blogthings.com/whatsyourpersonalitytypequiz/

MORP
This year, Aly asked Brennen Hicks to MORP, the casual dance - girl ask guy.
She had Ashley and Brittany come over, they got ready together and went to pick up their dates.
Their "date" began with a rowdy game of bowling - (they are ALL a little TOO competitive!!), followed by riding the light rail down in Phoenix to the Hard Rock Cafe for dinner. They stopped by our house for pictures and then headed to the dance.
They had a BLAST!!

February Goals
Yes, I'm a bit late in reflecting on those goals. I cannot believe how much time it takes to do homework! I have a lot more empathy for all those going to school.
So
February was not very successful. Why is it that the spiritual and physical goals, the ones we need the most, are the ones we can never accomplish perfectly. I could give all sorts of excuses...sick, overwhelmed with school, trying to balance this "student" role with "mother" and "wife" roles already in progess. But I guess I am still trying. Still working out my imperfections. I did accomplish my mental goal, which was to NOT do homework on Sunday. Now, that is quite a temptation considering that every Monday I have a quiz in Math. I start stressing Sunday evening, but hold out until Monday morning. This last quiz I suffered miserably, but we will plug along. I also finished my scrap goal...of course the last day of the month. For February, I scrapped everything we did in February for the years 2006-2009.
New month, new goals...still working on that perfection thing. I am constantly amazed that my priorities are STILL not what they should be.
My bad!
Here's something to think about:
Without goals it will be difficult for those priorities to become a reality, and we begin the process of living life in “coasting mode.”
No coasting for me!

You know you are getting old when....
Conversation with sweet nephew (Dailynd) and niece (Chloe) at lunch:
Them: Is it really your birthday, Aunt Dena?
Me: Yep, guess how old I am?
Them: hmmmmm
Me: I'm four!
Them: Not-huh! We are four!
Me: Oh....think of the biggest number you can...
Them: 29!!
Me: Yeah! I'm 29....no, not really...try another number...higher
Them:........ um.......94
Me: NO!! Too old!
Then I told them (but I'm not telling you!)
And their response:
Classic Dailynd opened his mouth and his jaw dropped. He dramatically put his hands over his eyes and then very carefully looked at me and said: "Are you gonna die soon?"
Great.....just great!!!!!

Crazy Hair
This week at HHS they have spirit week, leading up to the big dance on Saturday - MORP. Thursday was crazy hair day. This picture is from Aly's phone, hence the blurriness. However, you can see that she was the talk of the school. Every teacher commented, 8-10 people stopped her for pictures and over 100 had to "touch" it. YUCK!! This is what she looks like with just a pick to her hair. (Yes, I DO think there is some ethnic blood in the Weech line!) She should have been born in the 70's...she would have fit right in!!
