Nicole’s blog

I've been taking Celeste's blogthings tests again.  I'm particularly proud of this one.

Are you a drama queen?

You are as cool as they come

Rational and relaxed, no one could accuse you of being dramatic.
You roll with the punches, and nothing ever gets you too worked up.
You are able to maintain perspective and see the big picture.

And even if you're emotional inside, you don't let it show.
You're great at keeping it together, and you're rewarded for that.
People see you as an ideal friend, employee, and partner

You Are a Newborn Soul

You are tolerant, accepting, and willing to give anyone a chance.

On the flip side, you're easy to read and easily influenced by others.

You have a fresh perspective on life, and you can be very creative.

Noconformist and nontraditional, you've never met anyone who's like you.

Inventive and artistic, you like to be a trendsetter.

You have an upbeat spirit and you like almost everything.

You make friends easily and often have long standing friendships.

Implusive and trusting, you fall in love a little too easily.

Souls you are most compatible with: Bright Star Soul and Dreaming Soul

The Five Variable Love Test

Propensity for Monogamy

Your propensity for monogamy is medium.
In general, you prefer to have only one love interest.
But it's hard for you to stay devoted for too long.
There's too much eye candy to keep you from wandering.

Experience Level:

Your experience level is high.
You've loved, lost, and loved again.
You have had a wide range of love experiences.
And when the real thing comes along, you know it!

Dominance:

Your dominance is medium.
You tend to be the one with more power.
You aren't a total control freak in relationships.
But of course you don't mind getting your way.

Cynicism:

Your cynicism is low.
You are an eternal optimist when it comes to love and romance.
No matter how many times you've been hurt - you're never bitter.
You believe in one true love, your perfect soulmate.
And if you haven't found true love yet, you know you will soon.

Independence:

Your independence is low.
This doesn't mean you're dependent in relationships.
It does mean that you don't have any problem sharing your life.
In your opinion, the best part of being in love is being together.

The Super Bowl this year will be mostly about commercials for me.  Had the Steelers won one more game and made it in to the playoffs it might be a different story.  However, I saw a clip of this http://profile.imeem.com/5axMK/music/obZU6Yfb/tea_partay/  on TV the other day and thought it was one of the funniest things ever.  Unfortunately I could only find audio but just imagine a bunch of preppy guys in tennis outfits.  By the way I don't know how to do links better here yet.

Day one without smoking,  So far so good but it's only 9:30am.  Supposedly a whole group of us were going to quit for New Year's but everyone else has pushed back their quit dates.  Thanks for the support guys!

Other resolutions:

Lose weight
Walk the dog more
Start cooking again
Find a new job
Win the lottery

Lily

This is my cat Lily who very recently passed away.  She was 20 years or more old and had a long and happy life.  I know it was just her time, but I miss her.
