I’ll admit that I do look like my mom but I’d like to think I am not like her. I believe I am not as shopaholic and impulsive as she is. Nor as nagging. Well, let’s see.

You Are Somewhat Like Your Mom

Believe it or not, you and your mom are pretty darn similar. It may not seem like it at times, but you and your mom have a lot of common ground. You and your mom do understand each other well. You may just need to work on communication. Over time, you’ll probably get closer … especially if you emphasize the things you like about each other.

Your Nail Polish Color is Red

How you’re unique: You have an incredible eye for style and art Why your style rocks: You are classic and classy – and that’s hot! What this color says about you: “I’m smart, sassy, and sexy. And I know it.”

I haven’t tried a red nail polish though. Maybe I can be daring next week and choose that color on my next visit to the parlor for my manicure and pedicure. Then I’d probably wear white clothes most of the time.

Anyway, I’ll get back to browsing for some instructional manuals on fence installation and more stuff for our Christmas shopping. Catch you later.

Oops, this is not about the song.

What Your Orange Umbrella Says About You

When faced with adversity, you are able to come up with a creative solution. Problems don’t ever get you down. You see them as an opportunity to think outside the box. You are playful and light hearted. You make the dullest tasks interesting and lively. You are curious about the world around you. You take every moment as an opportunity to learn. On a rainy day: you should get out there and play in the rain

Your Ice Cream Personality:

You are a bit of a bragger. Your personality is larger than life – and you really enjoy showing off. You are incredibly cautious. You rather miss out on something than make a mistake. No one would ever call you wild… but they would call you responsible. You are a very open minded, liberal, and flexible person. You love many things. You tend to have tastes that range from down home to cosmopolitan. You are a natural multitasker. You feel alive when you’re doing more than one thing at a time. You are a serious and contemplative person. You definitely do your own thing in life.

How else can I maintain 3 blogs all about my family and my life, if I’m not a bragger?

As a kid, I kept a journal and scrapbooks. These scrapbooks were literally made out of scrap. I used cut-outs from the magazines. Then, I didn’t know that acid could ruin pictures. Plus, I didn’t care how the page would end up. For me, I just had to put and write everything that came to mind. But after discovering and learning about acid-free stuff to create a scrapbook, i ended up shopping. Yes shopping for more stuff but scrapping less. It was overwhelming for me. Plus, I felt that these papers are too pretty to scrap with. (I used to collect stationery too. I just collected and admired them. ) So I decided to try digiscrapping for practice. I figure when I’m confident with my digiscraps, I can go back to paper scrapping once again. Alas, like Alpha, I am just too lazy to scrap.

Tagging Vannie, Peachy and Jane.

Thanks Tracy for this nice tag. I’ll try to define it in my own words and based on my experience.

• Love is truly wanting the best for him/her.
• Love is loving oneself to be able to be the best person to love the other person.
• Love is a two-way street.

A tag from Peachy. Thanks girl!

You are PAPER!
You are an all natural basic person who likes to act as a foundation to others. You are willing to take a backseat in most of your relationships and let others take the spotlight, while you show your support and help them shine! Underneath it all, you are the one who makes it all happen. You are the focus and stability in any group, even if you are not the leader. Others look to you to set the pace and provide ideas for ways to get things done. But Paper Beware – sometimes you get a little edgy with the people who look to you for support and can give them some papercut remarks that can hurt their feelings. Remember to watch what you say, because you are best when leading by example.

by example.
