I took a personality test today!

So I took a personality test today, it was something to do today.  The results are somewhat right because I am a perfectinist and somewhat wrong.  I guess that is pretty par for the course in regards to these online tests.  

ESTJ - "Administrator". Much in touch with the external environment. Very responsible. Pillar of strength. 8.7% of total population.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

I took a break from school, which is ending in 23 days!, and went to visit family.  It is nice to leave the whole hectic world of school behind and just be with those that love me.  (I mainly go with the reasoning of "because they have too" on that last statement).  Plus guess what is Friday...SHOPPING!

I have made stupendous progress on my list in the last few weeks.  WooHoo!!!!!! 

First off is something I had very little actual hope of accomplishing is that I actually turned in an assignment over a week before it is due (actually about 3 weeks before but who is counting).  This goal was #4 on my list.  I am a procrastinator of the worst kind so I tend to not get things done until they are due.  I do get it done, but not too early. 

The most important thing I did was learn how to make Filling.  This is #36 on my list and my mom taught me today (well yesterday but I am still awake so it is the same day to me).  Filling is a Thanksgiving and Christmas staple that my mom makes, that my Pop made (her dad) and before that my great grandmother made.  The recipe is not written down but it is YUMMY!  Absolutely yummy.  Thanks mom for helping my life get to be a little more awesome.

I continued #60 this past weekend because I did not get online at all.  For a Facebook and livejournal addict like, that is HARD! I kept busy with friends, an Alabama football game (Roll Tide!), a party, a library visit and a movie (New Moon...kill me please).  It was a great weekend and I had fun but I am even happier to have avoided the Internet for a few days.

I have continued #75 by sending two more postcards.  This puts me at a total of 10 sent postcards.  I have also received 10 postcards and as soon as I can remember (always a key point) I will put my pc pictures up online.

I realized when I was looking at my list that the snowman painting I raved about last time actually fulfills a goal!  Who knew?  I just went because it seemed fun, but now I see that it means I completed #80.  That is an extra woohoo!

I think that is it for now.  I know, that is 5!!!! goals I am making major progress with so that is happy.  Soon I can update on #1 and #2 but I am waiting just a bit.  So close on those.  In 23 days things should be GREAT!

Have a great turkey day all! ~blubrrymffin

New Post for a New Week

So today is Monday, November 16th. 

Holy Heck, It's November 16th!!!!!!


In less than a month I will graduate with my Master's and hopefully in less than a month I will be starting (or have a start date picked) my new job, in less than a month I could be moved (or moving) to Virginia, in less than a month...my life will be very different.  I am happy, yet sad, yet excited, yet nervous.  I have made great friends here and will miss them but also I am ready to start my new adventure.  I find it frustrating that soooo many people are like "We need to do something before you go..." but I am about out of time for all the somethings.  I really want to do everything but I cannot.  Ack!

I went roller skating and I painted a picture of a snowman with friends this past weekend.    To the left is my painting...I must say it is fitting because it snows so much here....ummm, yeah, not!  But I like the snowman guy.  I think I will call him Dana.  Yep, please meet Dana the snowman.  I hope you enjoy him!

(p.s....Dana does not like orange or carrots.  Just thought you would like to know)


Ok, off for some more fun on my lonnnnngggg day of fun.  When do I get to sleep again?

Bryant Museum

This past Friday I visited a local museum for the first time.  Called the Paul W. Bryant Museum (in honor of the great Bear himself) the museum is filled with pretty, shiny and interactive objects.  The football rings are awesome and the trophies are amazing but the re-creation of Bryant's office is the best part.  A pencil cup on the deck with pencils and a Houndstooth hat make it all seem real.  I was really happy to share the experience with Dad and I wish we had brought a camera, but I still enjoyed myself.  Click below for a link to the museum.

Blogging about the museum is my first of five museum visits I must make to complete my list.  I am moving along with my list but some items I am just waiting on until I graduate.  Speaking of graduation, it will be here in only 32 days!!!!!  woo hoo!

Just a post

It is time to update...yay!  Last week was ultra stressing but hopefully this week works a bit better.  I did try a new beer (Newcastle) so at least that part of my list is continuing towards the goal.  I continue to work on the job front (because I want something for when I am done school darnit!) and nothing big to report.  Right now I am trying to work on my school work and stay up-to-date with all (major swirling hand motion) of that mess.  I am in two different groups for two different classes and I like the group aspect of both but one is functioning much better than the other one.

I found it amusing yesterday when 1 group member in my 560 class group said, "For our final project, can we get it completed asap.  I am leaving on the 11th so I would like to be done before then."  I cried out a loud response of "YES!!!!" because this is my last assignment due.  Get done early...I think so.  According to my countdown clock graduation is t-52 days away.  So close, so far, so happy, so scary and so ready.  Is it possible to have senioritis for grad school?  Maybe it is grad-itis.  I just feel apathetic in regards to my classes.  I spent half an hour last Thursday discussing the different ways to bludgeon myself with another student so we could leave class early.  Of course, it was kind of amusing when we made a list of pointy objects....eh, never mind.  Sort of sadistic actually :-p .

I had a great weekend with mom and dad and this coming Saturday is the Tennessee game.  I hope we get an offense again by Saturday.  Just a few days and then its the weekend, woot!  I think I need sleep now...g'night!

P.S.- Sent out a new postcrossing postcard today.  This makes 8 total so far.  I received a postcard today as well from Finland.  I really need to make a book or something with all my awesome postcards.

New addition for my list!

I have a new addition for my list (number 86 to be exact).  I want to go to The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, Missouri.  They have a HUGE shuttlecock outside and I think I need my picture with it.  Hmmmmm....sounds like a plan!

88.  change the oil in my car on a regular basis

89.  make my own painting and hang it up

101. start a new 101 list on day 1001

Another one bites the dust!

YAY!  I can mark some more items off my list!  Say goodbye little list, I will kill you.  Mwahahahaha....

1. Say goodbye #9 because I went to San Diego (actually I do not leave until tomorrow)


2. I can mark off one part of #29 because I tried coleslaw finally and as expected...that is a big nope!  Never again, I am sure the coleslaw was good but ewwwwww...not me.


3. I also beat #35 because there was a random sax player on the street and I gave him $2.  Not alot I know, but I still gave the guy something.  I felt better for actually helping someone-let's hope I did.


4. I also am continuing my "try new drinks" goal.  Yesterday, even though I did not update, I had another two new beers.  First of all I tried Bohemia and Hofbrau Dunkel.  The former is a mexican beer and the latter is a dark german beer.  Of the beers that I tried this past weekend, I think I liked Hofbrau the very most.  It had a nice spicy aftertaste.  Yummmmmm

                                                                                                                                                             

I think that I am definitely doing well with my goals.  YAY!!!!!  Much love and wish me luck on my trip back to Alabama (oh yeah, I so went to Trader Joe's Today-because I could)

Yard House Fun

Tonight I went to the Yard House.  It has a lot of beers on draft and was pretty sweet.  I tried two new beers while I was there: Gordon Biersch Blonde Bock and the local House Honey Blonde.  I definitely liked the first beer better but I am glad I tried both.  After supper with at the Yard House, we stopped and bought Modelo.  It is a Mexican beer and was not as good as the first two.  I had a great night though and did enjoy my new drinks...yummmm.

I tried a new beer!

So I tried a new Beer last night.  This is great for my list and I actually enjoyed.  Hoegaarden is a Belgian Wheat Beer and it is spiced with Coriander and Orange Peel.  I had my beer with a lemon slice...yummy!  I think my brother would like the beer so I will recommend it to him.

Ack!

Look at the pretty pictures of Hermione and Spiderman.  Well, let me tell you this...


I hate allergies and right now I am not a fan of cats.  Because I have yet another sinus infection and I keep losing my voice.  How can I talk when I have no voice?  O those cats are gonna be de-furred real soon.
