The Death of Me …

it is a’comin’. The killer? Laundry. Lots of it.

I fell out of the habit of doing laundry after I came back from Mom and Dad’s. I’ve got loads upon loads. Have I ever mentioned how much I hate laundry? Yeah, I really hate to do laundry, relieved .

But, today, I’m turning over a new leaf. Okay, I’m just feeling motivated to actually do it, loser . I don’t get these motivations often, so when I do get them, I take full advantage of them faint .

Who’s with me, though, on finding someone to design us something to do the laundry for us? Come on, we’ve got someone to do the vacuuming for us, why not the laundry? Sounds reasonable, right?

Mamma Mia, My Oh My

I Finally Got Away

Friday, my friend, Julie, and I saw Mamma Mia! May I say that I, who’s not a huge fan of musicals, absolutely adored the movie. Julie wasn’t too sure that she’d wanted to see it, but saw it because I wanted to, and because Sex and the City wasn’t available. She paid for the tickets ($14) and I paid for the popcorn and sodas ($15.52). Worth every single penny paid, I think. Definitely one where I’ll be purchasing the DVD when it comes out, and the soundtrack as well. As I told Julie, I want it in my car, on my laptop, and on my phone.

Rave Reviews

I absolutely loved the screen adaptation of Mamma Mia! The look of it was gorgeous, never has a Greek island looked so beautiful! I loved Meryl Streep as Donna, she cam across as an honest and good-hearted character. I loved Amanda ans Sophie and my only big casting problem was Pierce Brosnan, you may want to cover your ears when he sings, he’s horrible. Some of the songs seemed a bit forced in the storyline, but some of them felt at home. I saw an advanced screening and the sound wasn’t very good but that could have been because of the spot where we were sitting. The movie was ultimate feel good! I loved it! It was very bright and bouncy the whole time. I didn’t feel that there was one slow moment in the movie! I think my favorite moment in the movie was definitely Dancing Queen. It was spectacular.

I’d have to say that I agree 100% with this review, and all of the spectacular ones. There might be some not so nice ones, but I haven’t paid any attention.

I’m hanging by a moment here with you


Theme: Hanging

Yes, the shower is running. Yes, it was because I was getting ready to climb in.

The shower caddy is new, like new-new. We just bought it yesterday ;) I luff it!! And YES, I have that many poofs. Most of them need to be tossed because they’re falling apart. Oh, one is actually Josh’s, and one is Madison’s ;)

A Nice Music Meme

I’m stealing this from Tense, and I’ve done it a few times, but not since I got the laptop and got mostly new music with iTunes. My readers know that I absolutely LOVE music, so I’ll play it for any reason I’m given ;)

The hardest part, I would say, is finding non-repeat artists ;)

 

The rules are as follows:
1. Put your mp3 player or computer music player on random.
2. Post the first four lines from the first 20 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song (Skip repeat artists).
3. Post, and let your friends guess which song and artist the lines come from.
4. No Googling! Don’t cheat! Also, no checking of Last.FM!! That’s cheating too ;)

Still deciding if this fits

Your result for The Quick & Painless ENNEAGRAM Test

4- the Individualist

Thanks for taking the test !

4- the Individualist

you chose BY – your Enneagram type is FOUR (aka “The Romantic”)

“I am unique”

Romantics have sensitive feelings and are warm and perceptive.

How to Get Along with Me

  • Give me plenty of compliments. They mean a lot to me.
  • Be a supportive friend or partner. Help me to learn to love and value myself.
  • Respect me for my special gifts of intuition and vision.
  • Though I don’t always want to be cheered up when I’m feeling melancholy, I sometimes like to have someone lighten me up a little.
  • Don’t tell me I’m too sensitive or that I’m overreacting!

What I Like About Being a FOUR

  • my ability to find meaning in life and to experience feeling at a deep level
  • my ability to establish warm connections with people
  • admiring what is noble, truthful, and beautiful in life
  • my creativity, intuition, and sense of humor
  • being unique and being seen as unique by others
  • having aesthetic sensibilities
  • being able to easily pick up the feelings of people around me

What’s Hard About Being a FOUR

  • experiencing dark moods of emptiness and despair
  • feelings of self-hatred and shame; believing I don’t deserve to be loved
  • feeling guilty when I disappoint people
  • feeling hurt or attacked when someone misundertands me
  • expecting too much from myself and life
  • fearing being abandoned
  • obsessing over resentments
  • longing for what I don’t have

FOURs as Children Often

  • have active imaginations: play creatively alone or organize playmates in original games
  • are very sensitive
  • feel that they don’t fit in
  • believe they are missing something that other people have
  • attach themselves to idealized teachers, heroes, artists, etc.
  • become antiauthoritarian or rebellious when criticized or not understood
  • feel lonely or abandoned (perhaps as a result of a death or their parents’ divorce)

FOURs as Parents

  • help their children become who they really are
  • support their children’s creativity and originality
  • are good at helping their children get in touch with their feelings
  • are sometimes overly critical or overly protective
  • are usually very good with children if not too self-absorbed
