What type are you?

At work my boss took this test and then suggested we take it to see what types we are and how those types work with each other. There are four different types.

I won't lie, I rolled my eyes and thought to myself....'what the heck is that going to tell me?' but you know what it turned out to be a pretty cool test. It told me a lot about myself and what makes me tick. :)

so here is the website. The test is free and only takes like 10-15 minutes. Have fun and let me know what you turn out to be. After your done it tells you all about your type and who else in history was your type too. pretty cool!

Prices

So if you haven't heard or been effected by how high gas prices are then you either live under a rock or you......well that's it because it's everywhere!

so what if you want to take a trip and don't know how much to plan for or if the gas alone is going to require a second mortgage....you could guess and either be pleasantly surprised or horribly upset with your guessing skills.

well I found this website that estimates how much your gas cost will be if you plan on taking a trip....even if your not its fun to plug in numbers of places you would like to go and see how much you would save by not going. hehe

I get a kick out of calculators anyway. If there is a calculator to figure something out, I'll find it and use it.

so here it is and have fun on your trip (even if it is imaginary...there's nothing to be ashamed of....)

Jokes

Who doesn't love a few jokes every once and a while....so I found this website (http://www.101funjokes.com/) anyway...here are a few I thought were funny. :) enjoy!

Walking up to a department store's fabric counter, the pretty girl said, "I would like to buy this material for a new dress. How much does it cost?" "Only one kiss per yard," replied the male clerk with a smirk. "That's fine," said the girl. "I'll take ten yards." With expectation and anticipation written all over his face, the clerk quickly measured out the cloth, wrapped it up, then teasingly held it out.
The girl snapped up the package, pointed to the old geezer standing beside her, and smiled, "Grandpa will pay the bill."

A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment. The next week the man realized that he would need his wife to wake him at 5.00 am for an early morning business flight to Chicago. Not wanting to be the first to break the silence, he finally wrote on a piece of paper,
"Please wake me at 5.00 am." The next morning the man woke up, only to discover it was 9.00am, and that he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't woken him when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed ... it said...
"It is 5.00am; wake up."

Jacob, age 92, and Rebecca, age 89, are all excited about their decision to get married. They go for a stroll to discuss the wedding and on the way they pass a drugstore. Jacob suggests they go in.
Jacob addresses the man behind the counter:'Are you the owner?'
The pharmacist answers yes.Says
Jacob: 'We're about to get married. Do you sell heart medication?'
Pharmacist: 'Of course we do.'
Jacob: 'How about medicine for circulation?'
Pharmacist: 'All kinds.'
Jacob: 'Medicine for rheumatism, scoliosis? '
Pharmacist: 'Definitely.'
Jacob: 'How about Viagra?'
Pharmacist: 'Of course.'
Jacob: 'Medicine for memory problems, arthritis, jaundice?'
Pharmacist: 'Yes, a large variety. The works.'
Jacob: 'What about vitamins, sleeping pills, Geritol, antidotes for Parkinson's disease?'
Pharmacist: 'Absolutely.'
Jacob: 'You sell wheelchairs and walkers?'
Pharmacist: 'All speeds and sizes.'
Jacob says to the pharmacist: 'We'd like to register here for our wedding gifts, please.'

A woman has twins, and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named "Amal." The other goes to a family in Spain; they name him "Juan".
Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his mum. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Amal.
Her husband responds, "But they are twins. If you've seen Juan, you've seen Amal."

Suprise

So imagine me laying in bed about 7:30am, I had just put in a movie for Juliet and given her breakfast and laid back down for a blissful 10 more minutes of sleep....or resting my eyes as it is at this point. I hear frodo getting excited about something. I happily think it is him getting ready to catch the mouse that has gotten in (they come in every year around fall...drives me NUTTS), I see something out of the corner of my eye (out bedroom window faces the backyard) and I freak out.

Frodo isn't getting excited about the dang mouse, he is excited about a burglar/killer trying to get in our house. I scramble out of bed, call out to Juliet to come in my room and frantically try to get my pants and shirt on, while running to the closet for our gun. then I hear 'DADDY'....wait what?

that's right I almost shot my husband...he neglected to tell me he was coming home because he wanted to surprise me....well surprise I tell him if it weren't for the fact that the gun was at the top of the closet in the very back in a locked case....I would have shot you. Good to know I would have never gotten it in time if it were a burglar but nice to know I had time not to shoot my husband.

I should have known what was going on, Frodo wouldn't get that excited about a burglar! and usually they dont' break in at 7:30 in the morning.

so I got my birthday wish. Jason came home, so surprise to me! as well as a good workout and scare of a lifetime and Happy Birthday to both of us.

yay!

Birthday

so I changed my background because it's, thats right folks, it my birthday..the big 26. haha. I actually forgot about it until I watched the news and then when people started giving me cards at work. I got a candle, breakfast pastries and a mini-rose plant. how fun!

yesterday mom took me out to sushi and ice-cream and tomorrow my friend is taking me to lunch. And my sisters, mom and dad have either called, texted, or googled me a message. so I must say birthdays do have their perks. :)

Jason's birthday is tomorrow he will be old too....31. it is sad because he is not here to celebrate with me but when he comes back, we plan on going to the Melting Pot. YUUUUMMM.

I also thought it was fun that i share my birthday with one of the greatest events in American history....Martin Luther King's 'I have a Dream' speech. How great that is right? and today marks the 45th anniversary. wonderful.

so no big plans for my birthday but I still appreciate all the e-mails, cards and thoughts that are coming my way.

Happy Birthday to me!!! by the way I will be having my cake and eating it too!!! heck ya!
