Six... and actually on a Sat

1. What is your current desktop picture? What made you select it?
A really great picture of Ali and Erin at the Aquarium in Seattle. I selected it because they actually look like they like each other.
2. A close friend who you consider to be up to date on fashion suggests that you should update your look and offers to pay for a session with an experienced hairstylist you've never dealt with before. Knowing that it's free, would you go?
Um, yeah. It's free and it's only hair.
3. When you do look in a mirror, what is the first thing you usually look at?
Definately my hair. I'm always worried it looks funky- or that you can see my greys too much.
4. Take this quiz: Which Bugs Bunny character are you? http://www.okcupid.com/tests/take?testid=481494329074504659
Bugs Bunny!
You scored 0 Aggression, 85 Sophistication, and 85 Optimism!
You have all the sophistication and charm one would expect from such a high-class hare. Very upbeat and generally laid-back, you are remarkably calm and peaceful even in the midst of the most stressful of situations. On those rare occasions that your anger is aroused, your retaliation usually results in embarrassing the aggressor and laying-bare how foolish he or she really is -- rather than doing any real harm. You likely have many friends and more than a few admirers and would make an excellent leader, if you had any interest in being one. But, being a leader would require hard work and attention to detail, both qualities you are lacking in. In fact, if you are not careful, your laid-back attitude will often lead you to drift through life completely oblivious to the changes happening around you. You also tend to have a horrible sense of direction.

5. What label seems to describe you the best as a whole?
Busibody? =) Probably Mom... I just like to take care of people and fix things. I can't help it.
6. READER'S CHOICE QUESTION #60 from Stacy: Is there a specific person that you credit with your successes? and HOW did they help you?
I'd have to say my Dad. He always backed me up, told me he believed in me, helped me pick up the pieces if I failed. He just generally made me feel cherished, like I deserved the best. My hubby is alot like him, too.

Wow...

Has it really been 3 weeks since I posted last? That's crazy.
School starts tomorrow. Not sure if that will help or not, but I'm looking forward to it.

Saturday Six 8/20/05

Here's the latest Saturday Six. I'm trying to get thru my BTS projects.... more later.

1. Other than the "Saturday Six," what weekly or daily memes do you play most often? (Please give a link to that journal.)
Nope, this is it.
2. If you could look back at photos you know of that were taken during your childhood, from your first school pictures to snapshots taken ten years ago, which one do you think would be the most embarrassing and why?
I think 8th grade. Bad, short unevenly curled hair. Braces. Lots of Braces, goofy grin. Pink and gray wide stripe sweater. Ugh. Freshman wasn't much better. What in the hell was I thinking to perm my hair?!!@!
3. What was the last thing you made yourself do, even though you really didn't want to?
I took both girls to Target today. It's not that I didn't want to go to Target. I live for Target. But both girls at Target is not fun. In fact, both girls ANYplace, is not much fun these days.
4. Take this quiz: How do you live your life? ( http://www.blogthings.com/howdoyouliveyourlifequiz/ )
How You Life Your Life
You are honest and direct. You tell it like it is.
You're laid back and chill, but sometimes you care too much about what others think.
You prefer a variety of friends and tend to change friends quickly.
You tend to always dream of things within reach - and you usually get them.

5. What was the last book you started but never finished (aside from any you're currently reading)? Why did you stop reading it?
Hmmm. This is a tough one. I almost always finish books. I don't think I ever finished "How to Solve Your Child's Sleep Problems"... maybe that's why we're still having problems. =) But I didn't finish it because I didn't like the methods in it.
6. Are you named after anyone? Has anyone ever been named after you?
My middle name, Christine, was after my Mom's best friend and my godmother (who passed away a few years after I was born.) Noone has ever been named after me, but a friend's brother named their daughter after Ali.
