Ahh..."Avoidance Day"
May we avoid with a passion today and remember why it is that we are able to avoid, what we are avoiding and how are ancestors avoided.

The Blog thing hasn't happened for a while, has it. We have been going to Grizzlies games, Humane Society events and trying to recreate. I am counting down the days until my first ever actual for-real vacation will take place. It will begin on July 1st at 5:00pm - July 10th.
I CAN'T WAIT!!!

20 Questions to a Better Personality
website http://hokev.brinkster.net/quiz/default.asp?quiz=Better+Personality&page=1
My results:
Wackiness: 60/100
Rationality: 12/100
Constructiveness: 60/100
Leadership: 32/100
You are a WECF--Wacky Emotional Constructive Follower.
This makes you a Candle burning at both ends.
You work until you drop, and you play until you can stand to work again. You have so much enthusiasm that you can find it hard to control on your own, and you appreciate the guidance that channels your energy and lets you be your best.In a relationship, you require lots of attention and support. You often over-contribute and end up feeling depleted and cheated. You may benefit from more time alone than you grant yourself.Your driving force is the emotional support of others--especially affection. You can run on empty for miles if you have positive energy behind you. Without it--as it occasionally must run dry--you are depressive, listless, and difficult to motivate.
You need a lot of affection. Get it any way you can, but never at the cost of your self-respect or well-being.
Of the 129373 people who have taken this quiz since tracking began (8/17/2004), 7.6 % are this type.
Diagnosis not quite right? Now that you've taken the quiz, you can view the personality key. If you have any attributes that are on the cusp, check out the personality that complements that attribute (in other words, if you're WEDF but only 55/100 Wacky, take a look at SEDF.)Write down what personality composite this quiz has given you, because viewing the key will erase your score.

(My comments are in red italic)
My Existing Situation
Persistent. Demands what she feels to be her due and endeavors to maintain her position intact. (Amen!)
My Stress Sources
Unfulfilled hopes have lead to uncertainty and a tense watchfulness. Insists on freedom of action and resents any form of control other than which is self-imposed. Unwilling to go without or to relinquish anything and demands security as a protection against any further setback or loss of position or prestige. Doubts that things will be any better in the future and this negative attitude leads her to exaggerate her claims and to refuse reasonable compromises. (Who wrote this?)
My Restrained Characteristics
Trying to calm down and unwind after a period of over-agitation, which has left her listless and devoid of energy. In need of peace and quiet; becomes irritable if this is denied her.
Willing to become emotionally involved and able to achieve satisfaction through activity, but tries to avoid conflict. (So leave me Alone people...I'a a walking time bomb!)
My Desired Objective
Longs for a tender and sympathetic bond and for a situation of idealized harmony. Has an imperative need for tenderness and affection. Susceptible to anything esthetic.
My Actual Problem
Seeks to avoid criticism and to prevent restriction of her freedom to act, and to decide for herself by the exercise of great personal charm in her dealings with others.
My Actual Problem #2
Disappointment and the fear that there is no point in formulating fresh goals have led to anxiety, and she is distressed by the lack of any close and understanding relationship. She attempts to escape into a substitute world in which things are more nearly as she desires them to be. (Whoa! Is that me or what???)

Rolly Polly Fish Heads...Ah the '80s!
Recently, my amiga Chele has been telling me how much she is enjoying her "Chele Time" alone with no kids and no hubbie at home. She was jammin to an old 80's tape. She told me that "Dead Puppies" was on the tape and she was sure her neighbors loved that one. I asked if my personal favorite, "Fish Heads" was on it. Sadly, it wasn't, but our conversation has left me with the "Fish Heads" melody in my head. So here it is...the infamous "Fish Heads"...without further ado............................
They can't play baseball, They don't wear sweaters

Pilled Up and Permed Out
Notable Quote for the Week:
“Basically what I am saying is that I would rather be in pain than smell.
Big Words
Instigated!
Dictation!
Hey again, novel-title fans! More titles coming from the genius mind of Carla...
My personal favorite today has to be "Pilled Up and Permed Out"
Honorable Mention would be "The Horrible Lumps". That title could be used for anything from a cookbook to a Doctor's memoirs. Genius, just genius.

“Basically what I am saying is that I would rather be in pain than smell.
What does that say about me?”
Frankly, I agree with that statement, but I did not say it.

I am "remarkable" and basking in the glory!!!!!!!!
My horoscope today: Scorpio October 23 - November 21
Remarkable! That's the kind of word to best describe you today, dear Scorpio. So, don't be modest about it, be proud of yourself! You deserved some kind of recognition, and today you will get just that. Even if you tend to deny it, the people around you are very sensitive to your wonderful energy, to your dynamism and to the wonderful magnetism that you give off. After all these years, you deserve to bask in your own glory for once!
It isn’t because it is hard to put in the dispenser.

One of the first lessons we learn as young girls is to "check for toilet paper first". Anyone who has used a public toilet and then realized there is not even a scrap of paper left has learned this lesson the hard way.
No one likes to be in that situation.
So why why why can’t the women here put new rolls of toilet paper in the dispenser?
It isn’t because there aren’t any rolls in the bathroom.

There are.

It isn’t.
I don’t get it. I work with grown women most of which have raised (or are raising) a family. I’ll bet their kids get yelled at when THEY don’t put new t.p. on the thing at home. This is getting to be a dead issue. I know nothing is going to change. But if THEY don’t have to put new rolls on…why do I?

Not a lot of blog-worthy things to mention.
I had a "parental" Memorial Day. Let's just say the events left one daughter grounded for her entire summer.
'Nuff said.
Carla is still on a roll with her novel titles. Her latest include:
I am sure we will see Carla's name in the thank you notes of great novels very very soon!

My new room is workable now. I have some more work to do, of course, that will never change. Now I need to find homes for all the leftovers in the living room. What a mess!
Must go do the work thing.
