I feel like I've been under a rock during this last week... been busy implementing a new schedule with the kids, keeping up with scrapbooking deadlines (which is fun, not stressful, for anyone who may be curious!), visiting with friends, and tying up loose ends with some spreadsheets for the Scrap Etc. Event.

I saw this on Adrienne's blog and thought I'd try it out. It's pretty darn close to me in a lot of the areas, although there are a few that I think it's not close to me on (I've never been told I have a Type A personality, but I could be delusional on that self- perception...anyone want to clue me in?)

What Virginia Means

You are very hyper. You never slow down, even when it's killing you. You're the type of person who can be a workaholic during the day... and still have the energy to party all night. Your energy is definitely a magnet for those around you. People are addicted to your vibe. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You are deeply philosophical and thoughtful. You tend to analyze every aspect of your life. You are intuitive, brilliant, and quite introverted. You value your time alone. Often times, you are grumpy with other people. (HAH! Yes! Love this one. Hehe) You don't appreciate them trying to interfere in your affairs. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. (Oh so true, little blogger quiz.) You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality.

Here's my question about that quiz... I've heard things before talking about how your name can shape how people view you and respond to you, which would lead me to think would help shape your personality. Don't really think I totally buy that, but I wonder how much that affects these little online quizzes and how they select which descriptive paragraphs go to which names.

Here are some pics from our week...

(She's such a fatty-boom-batty!)

Shaun called this his "Abercrombie poses." Heheh You know I'm totally doing a layout with these!

God has truly blessed us with an awesome community of believers and helpers around us... it just takes a lot to knock down that pride and ask for help sometimes, eh?

I got an easy way out this time, though. I didnt' even ask for help - mainly I just whined and complained so much that our generous friends Jeremy & Christa are letting us borrow an extra computer that they have that is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY faster than our current one. I mean, I can type and actually see the words appearing on the screen as I type them! How cool is that?! ;)

So I just wanted to say publicly- thank you guys. You have truly blessed us.

And because of their generosity, I can now blog again!

I'm feeling pretty giddy from this awesome turn of events... so tonight I'm going to do a little cleaning out in my scrapstash and put together a little Blog Candy (or RAK as they say- random act of kindness for you newbies) and give it out to the person who can correctly answer the following questions (and if there is more than one correct answerer, I'll just draw a name. LOL)

Alright so here are your questions:

1. What ride was I scared out of my guts to ride on at Disneyworld/Epcot/MGM ?
2. What's my favorite color?
3. What are two of my favorite tv shows (I'm giving you several chances here, because there are about 4 or 5)
4. What are my kiddos' names (and bonus = who are they named after?)
5. How old were Shaun and I when we got married?

I have no idea if I've even mentioned most of these things on my blog, but I'm thinking I have somewhere here or there. ;)

I'll get off of here and dig around for some fun prizes for y'all, and in the meantime, here's some sneaky peekies at my Crop Addict April Layouts... go check 'em out!
