The Way It Is

Back again

2007-07-07T20:46:10Z

Having the stamina of a newborn kitten is terrible. It seems all I do lately is work, come home, nap, get up and have dinner, and go back to bed! I've fallen away from my new health resolutions, too, and am not eager to see what the test results will say. I'm starting all over again now. Wish me luck!

You Are the Index Finger

You are ambitious, driven, and capable.
You aren't afraid to take responsibility for your actions - or place the blame on whoever deserves it.
You are honest, free thinking, and objective. You see things in your own way - and you aren't afraid to let everyone know about it.

You get along well with: The Thumb

Stay away from: The Ring Finger

What Finger Are You?

Update

So much has happened since I last posted!

We've moved, lost one four legged family member (poor darling Wanie, our one and only outdoor cat, vanished)and gained a whole bunch more of a different variety (mari begged for something little, soft and fluffy to pet; we got two "female" guinea pigs; one turned out to be male and one turned out to be pregnant; presto: SEVEN guinea pigs! NO, we're not keeping them all!), my health has gone up and down and now back up again, mari's cutting is complete and the brand has healed beautifully (I must figure out how to post pics), my paintings are selling in a new gallery, and I have an exclusive contract for my jewelry through an exquisite little botique on the beach in California (courtesy of a trip to visit my older sister). Thank gods my work can be done when I'm feeling well. I'd never last in corporate america the way my health has been for the past 6 months.

That sums up the major changes. I'm hoping to stay more up to date here in the future, now that I'm back online again.

Back Online

I've been offline for a few months due to extreme ill health. I'm finally feeling a bit better, back to work part-time, and here once again. I have recently been diagnosed with diabetes, which isn't too much of a suprise since nearly everyone in my family has it. I'm working to lose 30 pounds to bring me down to 130, which may help. Svental walks or bikes with me every day, and mari is cooking vegan meals. The food is good, but I can't help but feel deprived! I love a nice juicy steak! And hey, I love a tall glass of milk with my meal! I never outgrew that childish habit, I suppose. I just can't get the hang of this soy stuff. I'm giving it all a try, though, and we'll see what effect it has on my health.

You Are Balanced - Realist - Powerful

You feel your life is controlled both externally and internally.
You have a good sense of what you can control and what you should let go.
Depending on the situation, you sometimes try to exert more control.
Other times, you accept things for what they are and go with the flow.

You are a realist when it comes to luck.
You don't attribute everything to luck, but you do know some things are random.
You don't beat yourself up when bad things happen to you...
But you do your best to try to make your own luck.

When it comes to who's in charge, it's you.
Life is a kingdom, and you're the grand ruler.
You don't care much about what others think.
But they better care what you think!

What Kind of Hippie Are You?

2006-04-04T21:03:15Z

You scored as One Intelectual Individual. You're a thinker. You see things from a very different prospective than the rest of the world, and probably find release and self-expression in music, painting, scalpting, or any other form of art. People see you as a deep person, full of knowledge that they don't understand. People are attracted to that, but there's a good chance you don't care.
