You Are an Audrey!

You are an Audrey -- "I am at peace"

Audreys are receptive, good-natured, and supportive. They seek union with others and the world around them.

How to Get Along with Me

* If you want me to do something, how you ask is important. I especially don't like expectations or pressure

* I like to listen and to be of service, but don't take advantage of this

* Listen until I finish speaking, even though I meander a bit

* Give me time to finish things and make decisions. It's OK to nudge me gently and nonjudgmentally

* Ask me questions to help me get clear

* Tell me when you like how I look. I'm not averse to flattery

* Hug me, show physical affection. It opens me up to my feelings

* I like a good discussion but not a confrontation

* Let me know you like what I've done or said

* Laugh with me and share in my enjoyment of life

What I Like About Being an Audrey

* being nonjudgmental and accepting

* caring for and being concerned about others

* being able to relax and have a good time

* knowing that most people enjoy my company; I'm easy to be around

* my ability to see many different sides of an issue and to be a good mediator and facilitator

* my heightened awareness of sensations, aesthetics, and the here and now

* being able to go with the flow and feel one with the universe

What's Hard About Being an Audrey

* being judged and misunderstood for being placid and/or indecisive

* being critical of myself for lacking initiative and discipline

* being too sensitive to criticism; taking every raised eyebrow and twitch of the mouth personally

* being confused about what I really want

* caring too much about what others will think of me

* not being listened to or taken seriously

Audreys as Children Often

* feel ignored and that their wants, opinions, and feelings are unimportant

* tune out a lot, especially when others argue

* are "good" children: deny anger or keep it to themselves

Audreys as Parents

* are supportive, kind, and warm

* are sometimes overly permissive or nondirective

This made me happy because Audrey is one of my heroes. My favorite movie, or top 3 anyway, is Breakfast at Tiffany's. I'm proud to be like her.

Hey! &**(((( WTF? What happened to my blog?

Um, sorry about how my blog looks. I've got a dilemma I guess. The place I had make my blog has shut down or moved and I guess that affects my blog design which really sucks. So bear with me for now, not sure how to fix it yet.

I saw this on my friends blog and decided to try the quiz and it was very accurate. I am from the West but I must still be hanging on to some of my Midwest roots and accent after having lived in MN for 5 years. I do not sound like the people in the movie Fargo! No way.

What American accent do you have? Your Result: North Central "North Central" is what professional linguists call the Minnesota accent. If you saw "Fargo" you probably didn't think the characters sounded very out of the ordinary. Outsiders probably mistake you for a Canadian a lot.

Today my opportunity for success is unlimited.

This quiz peaked my curiousity and it was right for me! How odd...

You Are Likely a First Born

At your darkest moments, you feel guilty.
At work and school, you do best when you're researching.
When you love someone, you tend to agree with them often.

In friendship, you are considerate and compromising.
Your ideal careers are: business, research, counseling, promotion, and speaking.
You will leave your mark on the world with discoveries, new information, and teaching people to dream.

The Birth Order Predictor

I had to take my renewal written driving test and I passed! I missed 1 question. So I'm a step closer to getting these annoying things done.

Had a pretty good weekend, did a lot of knitting. I finished the turqoise bath hand towel and I really like the pattern.

Tom and Henry are able to be in the same room without hissing and scratching, it's still getting better every day but I won't be happy until I have a pic of them being civil and together...
