FOBTY - What kind of Shopper Are You?




You Are a Reluctant Shopper



You really don't enjoy shopping. For you, it's just another chore.

You approach shopping systematically. You research what you're going to buy and come prepared with a list.



Of all the types, you are the most likely to not buy things you don't need.

You try to de-emphasize stuff in your life. You find shopping and buying things to be a rather empty experience.

FOBTY - The Snow Test




Your Snow Test Says You're Independent



You feel like something good will happen to you in the next few weeks.



You have an amazingly strong work ethic. You are likely to be very successful in life.



You are an independent, individualistic person. You thrive when you're doing your own thing.



Your biggest worry in life is your family. You stay up at night thinking about them.



When it comes time to relax, you really indulge. You are all about your favorite comforts.

Resolutions?

The FOBTY challenge at SSD for jan 2nd is to blog about your goals or resolutions for 2009.

I have to say that I'm really not so big on new year's resolutions. I think it's just a huge way to set yourself up to fail. There are a lot of things I would like to acomplish this year like, scrapping more, becoming better organized, time management issues, working more on my photography skills and definitely learning more Dutch. Any small improvement is a plus in my book.

Happy New Year

It's really hard to believe that we are already 3 days into 2009. I'd love to be able to say that it's off to a good start, but I've been pretty damn sick with a tummy bug since January 1st. I'm happy to say that I am on the mend.

New Year's Eve Anita and Michael came over to help us ring in the new year. We played a good game of Levensweg, had some fresh, homemade oliebollen, and a nice bottle of champagne. Anita's birthday is jan. 1 so we gave her her birthday presents too.

We were supposed to go to Michael's for some cake for Anita's birthday on the 1st, but I woke up at 6am pretty darn sick, when I wasn't better by 2pm I had to call Anita and cancel. I hated having to disappoint her like that on her birthday, but believe me when I say that no one wants this stomach bug. I pretty much slept the entire day.

Yesterday I was still pretty out of it and spent my time between reading and sleeping. DH had to take the Tucson in for service and then pretty much sat around reading and taking care of me the rest of the day.

Still not 100% today, but I am feeling a bit better. We finally got to have our NY's day dinner, stone grill, it was pretty good, would have been a lot better if my tastebuds weren't off, though. :)

Oh yeah, I started reading the Twilight series on Wed. afternoon around 4 and finished all 4 books plus the draft of book 5 on SM's site yesterday. I am really quite hooked on this series, and will probably start reading them again next week.

Well, that's it for now...will catch up again tomorrow.
