You're a gryphon. You're very powerful without needing to brag about it. Creativity is one of your strong suits. Your outward personality may change drastically according to your mood, which is not always a good thing. You're a loyal guardian when you choose to be and you're aligned towards *good*.
What mythical beast are you? brought to you by Quizilla
I got this from my friend At The Heart Of It, we both scored the same. Sallie, I knew I liked you for a reason. Thanks for being such a good blog buddy!

The RIGHT Way To Do My Nails
This is to all the nail salons I've been to or will go to in the near future: As you know, I can find a nail shop on every street corner, competition is tough. Do you want me to come back as a repeat customer? Then this is the RIGHT way to do my nails.
When I walk in the door, speak English to me! I cannot understand that other language you speak. You're in America now, learn how to talk to me.
Don't make me wait! Don't you know I can just walk next door and they will gladly take me right in? I want my nails done and I want them done now. I have places to go and things to do.
Where is the automatic massage chair to sit in while your doing my nails?
Never and I repeat, never assign the male manicurist to do my nails. I mean, how many times has he had acrylic put on his nails? nail tips? painted? Thought so. I want someone with experience. He can't possibly know how important this is.
I want my own personal nail tools assigned just to me with my name on it. So when you cut me it won't have germs from all the other people you've cut that day.
Remove all my finger nail polish, that means the polish on the side of my nails too.
Repair all the nails that broke. Don't charge me extra for that, if you had done it right last time they wouldn't have broke in the first place.
When you cut and file my nails, make sure they are straight and all the same length. Remember, competition is tough. I can always go next door you know.
Stop talking to your family (coworkers) in that foreign language. You are doing my nails and I would like to think you are focused 100% on me. Besides, I don't like wondering if you're talking about me or not.
I know you have others waiting in line, but slow down! This is me pampering me day, so I prefer not to be stressed over worrying that any second you will cut my cuticle because your yapping to your family while working on me with that drill looking thing.
When you paint my nails don't put a massive glob of polish on them. Don't you know that takes hours to dry and I'm in a hurry!
You must have the automatic nail dryer that cooks the polish for 3 minutes. That's all I want to wait. 3 minutes and they should be dry and ready to go. Don't make me have to wait 5 minutes or 10 minutes depending on how big the glob of polish you put on is. Remember, YOU are pampering ME and I'm in a hurry!
And after all this you want a tip?

I'm playing this little Q & A game. I found this stand up comedian named Charlie at Where the Hell Was I? He was asked five questions by a fellow blogger, the answers to which he posted on his website. In turn, those who read his blog had the opportunity to ask him to interview them with five questions. Gullible me said I'll play, I'll play. So, he sent me 5 questions to answer. It's actually taken me 2 days the think about my answers. lol So, below are the rules to this little game and my answers.
THE RULES!
1 - Leave a comment, saying you want to be interviewed.
2 - I will respond; I'll ask you five questions.
3 - You'll update your journal with my five questions, and your five
answers.
4 - You'll include this explanation.
5 - You'll ask other people five questions when they want to be
interviewed.
Here are my answers:
What one event in the course of human history do you wish you'd been able to witness personally?
Jesus
Imagine that you have a tiny camera that you can attach to any one person's forehead invisibly but
permanently. With your glasses, you'll be able to see exactly what that person sees, every minute of every day that you wear them. Would you want to use such a camera, and if so, to whom would you attach it? And would you _tell_ them it was there, or try to attach it secretly?
Hmmmm, how about Osama Bin Laden if it would help locate him. Other then that it would be my daughter when she starts dating. lol
The bad news is that you're going to contract a weird, incurable disease. The good news is that you
get to choose -- either you'll never be able to go outside again (something about sunshine and fresh air being suddenly toxic, I imagine), or you'll suffer horrible nausea when communicating with people in any way (e.g., talking, writing, typing, etc.). Which would be the lesser evil for you, and why?
I would rather not be able to go outside again then turn into a vegetable.
You have a device that allows you to stop time, and move around among the temporarily 'frozen' world. Unfortunately, you never know how long the effect is going to last -- it can be anywhere from a few seconds to several months. Do you use your new toy, and if so,
for what?
If it would stop everyone except me, I wouldn't use it. That would just be too weird. Oh wait, then again maybe not. I would stop everything and rob as many banks as I could. Then when time started again I would be rich and they wouldn't have any idea who did it.
Many, many years from now, just before you die, you'll be able to project one image to a single person anywhere in the world. What image would you send, and to whom would you send it?
Geeze, I have no clue.

A Winter's Favorite of Mine
If you are a regular reading of mine, you may have already noticed my list to the right titled 100 Things About Me. If your not a regular reader and want to know a little more about me, knock yourself out. The title is a little deceiving though. It says 100 Things and that's not exactly true. Truth be told there are only 51. Have you ever sat down and tried to list 100 things about yourself? Well, things you want other people to know? haha just kidding. It requires a lot of thinking at one time. But, now that the holidays are over, I have decided to focus on the remaining 49. Not only am I going to complete it, but I'm going to write about them as well. Aren't you lucky?A post about each one. I may combine a few into one post and they won't be written in any order.
Got it? OK, on with the show.
When I left for work yesterday, to my surprise it was snowing. I'm here in Memphis for the next couple of weeks, so I'm not saying it snowed in Texas. :(
It was cold, windy and the air was filled with falling snow. I don't get to see that too often, it was such a beautiful site. It reminded me of something I love to do in the winter.
Call me crazy if you wish. But if you've never tried it I highly recommend it.
When it's at least 50 degrees out, preferably colder, get in a bathing suit and go find a nice cozy jacuzzi. No. No whimps, it must be an outdoor jacuzzi not indoors at Holiday Inn.
Yes, I know it's freezing and I'm in a bathing suit, but hey you only live once. And the older I get the more I realize I need to get out more! I mean think about it, after you've been outside in the heat of 100 degrees, your hot and sweaty. Why would you then want to get in a jacuzzi? OK, so you wait until night when it's 80. That's still too hot. So, I think winter is the best time of the year for these, because then and only then can you truly appreciate boiling water.
After freezing from walking to the jacuzzi, I step into it for a nice relaxing 15 minutes. Mind you, it's hot water! After becoming totally relaxed, I know I am going to have to get out and the freezing cold wind is going to hit me. That will shock anyone back to reality in record-breaking time. So I always make sure my towel is within arms reach. Or something nice and warm. hehe
If I'm really feeling tipsy (from the wine in the jacuzzi) I will get in the pool afterwards to cool off. You know, from sitting in boiling water. Yes, it's easier to just stand out in the cold, but that's not near as fun.
So now the wine has worn off and I'm back to reality. Time to call it a night. I hate when that happens.

Close your eyes,
To see with your heart,
Close your ears,
To hear with your heart,
Forget your mind,
And think with your heart.
For your heart will see,
When your eyes fail,
And your heart will hear,
When the voices are confused,
Your heart has the answers,
When your mind falls short.
Remember your heart,
For it is the key to love,
For love is the key to your soul,
Remember your soul,
For it is your Foundation.

My cat keeps doing two things that annoy me. Yet, I continue to feed him and change his litter box.
The first thing he does every single day is bites me. He's the most affectionate cat I've ever seen, so he doesn't do this out of meanness. I think it's his way to show affection. Nonetheless, his teeth are like needles and it's nothing I can relate to as feeling good. He tries to bite softly somewhere on my fact. It always has to be on my face and it hurts!
The second thing is after he eats breakfast, he throws it up. Every single bit of it. To him it looks just like the food in his bowl, so he tries to gobble it back up, but I refuse to let him. He's 9 now and has been doing this for 9 years. I have finally figured out it's from inhaling his food. He eats like it's his last meal. Which after he throws it up, it ought to be.

Ok, lets get one thing clear. I hate anything that has to do with cars. Other than driving them. It's a pain in the a** getting gas ALL the fricken time! Getting the breaks replaced, tires, oil on and on and on. I hate ALL of that. I have a pretty new car so right now I'm still in the regular maintenance stage, not the once a month car repair stage. (Which ends up being a car payment in its self)
I've been good about having my oil changed on time. I always look at that little sticky thing they put on your windshield to make sure I'm not overdue. So while I'm driving to work the other day, I check the little sticky thing cause I know ANOTHER oil change is coming up.
I look on my windshield and notice my inspection sticker has expired. Not only my inspection sticker, but my registration too. For those of you who don't live in Texas, we have to put our registration tag on our windshields, not on our license plate.
OK, here's the thing, my inspection sticker didn't expire last month. No I've been driving around with an expired inspection sticker since September, and my registration expired in October. Geeze loueeze, I hate car maintenance.

Stole...uhhh borrowed this from my friend.
She says:
As you may or may not know, deer hide their fawns when they need to
temporarily leave for awhile. The fawns have no odor yet, and naturally
stay absolutely still. This an amazing photograph! A great job of camouflage!
The fawn stayed there all morning. The mama came to get it after 4-5 hours.
Kudos to the people to leave the fawn alone, knowing Mom would be back.

I don't know about you, but I'm the type of person when I have a craving I have to have it right then, regardless of the circumstances around me. When I was pregnant with my daughter I craved strawberry shakes from McDonalds and banana pudding. Every night when I came home from work I whipped out the ingredients and put together a bowl of banana pudding with extra vanilla waffers and without the bananas of course. Everyday at lunch I had to stop by McDonalds for my usual large strawberry shake. I did gain about 50 pounds while I was pregnant, but hey I was eating for two and you don't mess with a pregnant women and her cravings. Besides, I lost it all so it's irrelevant now.
Last night I was having another one of those cravings. No, I'm not pregnant! From time to time I crave ice cream. I love banana splits, but I stay far away from those-bad for the boody. Since I try to watch what I eat, when I do crave ice-cream I go for yogurt instead. I don't care if it is 20 below zero outside, if I'm craving ice-cream damn it I have to have it! So I go to TCBY and order my all time favorite. A waffle cone filled with vanilla yogart, topped with fat free hot fudge, a few cookie doughs (ok, that's not lite but everything else is so I can splurge) topped off with whipped cream.
I only ate about half of it. After I ate all the good stuff off the top plain vanilla yogurt just didn't taste good. Seems like a waste for 3 bucks but when I'm having a craving, I don't care.
