I’m a Strawberry..yum, yum.

I originally saw this on Yankeechick’s blog. I have to say, this is surprisingly accurate of my personality. Especially the conflicted stuff. And although I am passionate, it isn’t something I make obvious in my every day life. Fun little quiz.

You Are a Strawberry

You are friendly, outgoing, and well liked by many people.You are popular, but there’s nothing you ordinary or average about you.You a very interesting person, and you have many facets to your personality. Sometimes you feel very conflicted. Your different sides of your personality pull at you. You are a very sensual and passionate person. You are fiery… you can’t help it. In general, you keep your passionate side under wraps. You are only wild in private.

What Type of Fruit Are You?

Why do I love this stuff so much?

Here are a bunch of random quizzes for you to enjoy. Uh Cardiogirl, you never did post your results of the vocabulary quiz. I was sure you would get an ‘A’!

What color crayon are you?

I think this was spot on!

You Are a Purple Crayon

Your world is colored in dreamy, divine, and classy colors.You hold yourself to a sky high standard, and you are always graceful.People envy, idolize, and copy you without realizing it. You are an icon for those who know you.And while it is hard to be a perfectionist, rest assured it’s paying off!Your color wheel opposite is yellow. While yellow people may be wise, they lack the manners and class needed to impress you.

Can you pass 8th grade math?

Wow that was hard. Wish I knew which ones I got wrong:

You Passed 8th Grade Math

Congratulations, you got 8/10 correct!

Could You Pass 8th Grade Math?

Would you be a cool parent?

Denied! I am so not a cool parent. I think I’m OK with that.

You Will Not Be a Cool Parent

And that’s pretty okay. While your kids may not think of you as a friend, they will respect you.You know that kids need discipline and structure, and you’re not afraid to give it to them. Just be careful that your strictness doesn’t lead to rebellion. It’s good to have standards and rules, but you don’t need to have an iron fist when enforcing them.

Would You Be a Cool Parent?

Psst Cloudy, I thought of you when I read this question:
Your kid gets in trouble for insulting his teacher, but you have to admit that the insult was pretty darn funny…

4 things you didn’t know about me.

Ok wow, I’m so excited. I love doing these things. I got tagged twice. Once by Dulligirl and once by Yankeechick. So without futher ado, here’s my ‘things’:

FOUR THINGS ABOUT ME THAT YOU MAY NOT HAVE KNOWN:

1. Although Cardiogirl pointed out that I have some 1st born tendancies, I am really the youngest. I have a brother, Steve who is 5 years older than I am.
2. “Don’t Stand So Close To Me” by The Police was my unofficial theme song in High School. I was head over heels in lust with one of my teachers. Nothing happened between us, but I cringe sometimes thinking of the lengths I went to, to get him to notice me.
3. My real name isn’t Webmiss, no matter how often I refer to myself as such. It’s Candice.
4. I have done drugs. Nothing too serious. Just a few joints back when I was a teenager. I think I’ve outgrown that.

FOUR JOBS I’VE HAD:

1. Babysitter. I was the most sought after babysitter in my county. Often I was booked every weekend a month in advance.
2. Paper delivery person. Just a little classified newspaper that was delivered afterschool. I was always filthy by the end of my route. Newspaper ink gets all over everything.
3. Cashier in a candy store. My most fattening job. $5 an hour and all the candy you could chow down on. I think I gained 20lbs working there.

Can I have some cheese with my whine?

My stomach hurts tonight. I’m not sure what the cause is, but I’m pretty sure it wont be fatal. That doesn’t mean that I’m not going to grimace in discomfort and moan a little. I just wish that there was someone besides Hailey to gripe to. I love it when she sees that I’m hurt. “Oh mommy!” she says. “I’ll kiss it better.” I really do have the sweetest child. We are so much alike. I’m a people pleaser, but I hope she doesn’t get that personality trait. I think sometimes that if I was a little more focused on self preservation I wouldn’t always be taken advantage of. I want Hailey to be strong and independent, but feminine, kind, and compassionate. Is that even possible or am I wishing for something that can never be? What traits did you wish your children had? Which ones do you wish they didn’t?

Your Vocabulary Score: B+

How’s Your Vocabulary?

I’m very pleased with my results. I received a veiled compliment at work today. I had written an email that needed my supervisors approval of before I could send it out to everyone in my department. It was just a new process we were implementing and I was handed the task of mapping it out and putting it into an email to present it to my colleagues. I asked my supervisor what she thought of the email. “Well, I had to edit it.” I kind of gave her that quirky “Huh?” face. I had proof read it, and spell checked it twice. “What was wrong?” I asked. “To be completely honest Webmiss, I had to dumb it down.”

I chuckled at that, I guess sometimes I can be a little wordy. She did mention the fact that she had to add quite a bit to it to get my point across in a way that my coworkers could understand. Oh well, the email went out. The outcome was just as it should have been; the process has been implemented and hopefully it would make my job a little easier. My grammar might leave something to be desired at times, but I sure can wear out the words!

I watched Memoires of a Geisha on Friday night. I highly recommend that movie. I had trouble at first understanding the dialogue with the accents, but I was absolutely hooked by the end of the movie. I jumped online to try and search out the definition of a Geisha. Prior to this, I had bought into the misconception that Geisha’s were basically just Japanese prostitutes. I gleaned more information from that wonderful site that is Wikipedia and purchased the book on Amazon.com.

Virtually every time I have read the book that XYZ movie was based on, I have enjoyed both the movie and the book. If I read the book first and then watch the movie, I am most frightfully disappointed. The Harry Potter series was that way with me, I watched the movies then read the books and LOVED the whole thing. If not for the movie, I might never have read the Chronicles of Narnia.

CG has been making a point of stopping by my desk every day and asking me what’s wrong. “You’re just not your usual happy-go-lucky self.” He keeps saying. DUH! Can anyone please tell Mr. CG exactly what my problem might be? I just tell him I’m fine, that nothings wrong and go back to what I’m doing. He’s taken to running his fingers down across the width of my cubicle wall when he walks by. It makes a noise akin to rubbing corduroy and is really quite annoying when I’m on the phone. It definitely catches my attention when he walks by so I suppose that little act is serving its purpose. I noticed that he’s still not wearing a wedding ring. At first I thought maybe it was an oversight on my part, that I just hadn’t paid attention, but no he doesn’t wear one. As curious as I am, I’m not about to ask. That is a can of worms I do not want to open.

I’m trying to be strong and ignore him. It might be a tad bit easier if CG wasn’t just so darn good looking…and I wasn’t so darn lonely.
