I took the test...
I read the brief synopsis and was shocked! It made me sound like the most terrible person. Then I read the more in depth analysis further down the page for each category and those were mostly true. What I really noticed was that it seemed like it took the most negative aspect of each category and put them in the synopsis. What do you think?

My Personality
Neuroticism | 58 |
Extraversion | 31 |
Openness to Experience | 88 |
Agreeableness | 35 |
Conscientiousness | 3 |
| You rarely get angry and it takes a lot to make you angry, however you are sensitive about what others think of you. Your concern about rejection and ridicule cause you to feel shy and uncomfortable around others. You are easily embarrassed and often feel ashamed. Your fears that others will criticize or make fun of you are exaggerated and unrealistic, but your awkwardness and discomfort may make these fears a self-fulfilling prophecy. You tend to feel overwhelmed by, and therefore actively avoid, large crowds. You often need privacy and time for yourself. You tend not to express your emotions openly and are sometimes not even aware of your own feelings. You are tenderhearted and compassionate, feeling the pain of others vicariously and are easily moved to pity, however you believe that a certain amount of deception in social relationships is necessary. You are guarded in new relationships and less willing to openly reveal the whole truth about yourself. You take your time when making decisions and will deliberate on all the possible consequences and alternatives. |

Jane Austen
I watched The Jane Austen Book Club tonight. Have you seen it? I read the book a couple of years ago and loved it and I really liked the movie too, but I didn't remember much from the book. Now I feel like I need to go back and reread the book and see how accurate the movie really was.

New Shoes
I bought new shoes tonight. Total necessity, I swear! No really, we have an open-toed shoe ban at work now and of course, most of my spring/summer shoes have open toes. So tonight I bought
these to go with the dress I wore for your shower. (We're having an Open House next week in honor of National Library week and have to dress up.) And then I bought these just because I thought they were too adorable. :) I have no idea what I'll wear them with though, but oh well. Gotta love cute shoes and BOGO!!

Desire's Birthday Party

You remember that I told you that JT was throwing Desire a surprise birthday party, right? Well, here's pictures from last night's festivities. Let me just preface this by saying that I had no idea that Desire hung out with such a crazy group of people. WOW!! Good times though. :)

Clean House
Don't you just love times when you actually want to clean your house. Not because you have to, like when you're going to be having company or anything. Just because you come home from work one Friday evening and you want to clean your house? Okay, so now that I've just admitted how boring I truly am, are you sure you still want to be my friend? Would it make you feel better if I said the only two rooms that are totally done are the kitchen and the bathroom? The other rooms still need to be picked up and vacuumed. Actually, what brought on this fit of cleanliness was the fact that I bought this. I hung it up last night and we've used it already, but then I read the part about it taking an entire bottle of cleaner to clean a dirty shower and I didn't want to waste all that good cleaner on a dirty shower! So I started in the bathroom and by the time I squirted the stuff in the tub and toilet I figured I might as well sweep and mop the floors and since I was at it, I'd do the kitchen too. Oh and I'm doing laundry too, what an exciting life I lead! :)
In other exciting news, it looks like we'll be trading in Doug's truck. He just can't deal with all the little repairs and I can't deal with all the remarks that my dad somehow did this to us on purpose. I'm happy to put it all behind us though. Not sure what we're going to be looking for. Doug hates the idea of not having a truck, but we don't want a huge payment and to buy another 9 year old truck or older to keep those lower payments means more of the same as what we're dealing with now. Although, if we did that then at least he might realize that it wasn't anything having to do with my dad! Anyhow, I've offered to give Doug my car and drive something smaller. Definitely something that would get better gas mileage would be nice. So we'll see. I doubt we get this done anytime soon.
Oh and for some good news, remember when I told you how well my evaluation went and that Karen was recommending me for a promotion? Well, she had her evaluation today and it sounds like my promotion will be a go (and I might get a raise...shh)!!!!
Alright, I won't bore you any longer. Hope your weekend is off to a more exciting start than mine!

Dreaming of a New Bathroom
Here's what I have in mind, so far.
Shower
Pedestal Sink
Faucet
Toilet
Lighting
We also need other fun things like an exhaust fan, new flooring and towel racks. We probably won't get this stuff at Lowe's either. Menards seems to be cheapest of them all, but they don't have much selection on their website.
