Sixty!

I made it! This has been the least worrisome birthday since, oh, I don't know, turning thirteen. I actually feel like I have arrived. I've paid my dues (and my taxes), I've stayed the course, and now ... I'm one of the big kids!

But I really DO like Shiny Things!

You Are a Hand Knit Scarf

You are a creative and unique person. You like to make things yourself, and you're quite crafty. You've got your own personal style going on. It's a bit offbeat, but it definitely works for you! You live deliberately and carefully. You treasure your memories and one of a kind possessions. You resist being part of some consumerist rat race. You know that shiny things don't make you happy.

2011 - What Kind of a Year Was it?

As we say good-bye to 2011, what kind of a year was it for you?

For me, it was what I consider a transition or prep year. A lot of ugly baggage was dropped, a lot of new ideas were adopted and put in to play. I believe 2011 was a wonderful stepping stone to a terrific 2012.

Wishing you all the best in 2012.

Creative . . . which is different than Artistic

You Are 78% Creative

You are beyond creative. You are a true artist - even if it's not in the conventional sense of the word. You love creating for its own sake, and you find yourself quite inspired at times.

How Creative Are You?

Winter Sunday mornings means quizzes

You Are the Folding

You quietly examine life's lessons and see multiple meanings in everything. You are philosophical. You believe that the most important thing is to be true to yourself. Only you know your heart's real desires. People often misunderstand you. You are more of an optimist than you seem. You're proud of who you are. You're living life on your own terms, even if others don't agree.

LAST QUIZ FOR THE DAY

Woody Allen Should Direct the Movie of Your Life

Your life is quirky, offbeat, and filled with little neuroses. You're always willing to step back and look at what's going on. You aren't afraid of a little analysis. You take life too seriously and not seriously enough. You're still trying to figure yourself out. You are smart, funny, touching, and definitely cynical. Your personal philosophy is as unique as you are.
