Test

What kind of drink am I?

This reminds me of the game that my family played last Saturday at my folks' house.

You Are a Margarita

You aren't just the life of the party, you are the party!
You mix a good drink, bust out some great music, and know how to get down.

Crud

I'm home with the crud today -- chest congestion, body aches, chills, pain in the back and sides of the neck (no funny comments, please) and headache. Since I decided I'd better not be prone all day, I surfed a bit and found this -- what do y'all think? Does it sound like me?

Your Birthdate: June 13

You're dominant and powerful. You always need to be in charge.
While others respect your competence, you can be a bit of a dictator.
Hard working and serious, you never let yourself down.
You are exact and accurate - and you expect others to be the same way.

Your strength: You always get the job done

Your weakness: You're a perfectionist to a fault

Your power color: Gray

Your power symbol: Checkmark

Your power month: April

Oysters Labukas

 


Neighbor Pete is moving to Florida soon and I'm over here tonight setting up a blog for him so that he can keep his crazy Minnesota friends updated as to his goings-on. The rum is flowing, the tropical gourmet meal is on it's second course -- Oysters Labukas (I'm done setting up his blog and he still has three courses to go -- he, he) and The Allman Brother are on the CD. What a perfect way to spend a Monday night . . . Posted by Picasa

November

Wow! It's been a month since I updated. I went back and updated my blog . . . not to make it look like I've been actually keeping it up-to-date since October 8 (we all know that's not possible), but to put everything in order. So make sure you go back to the end of October for a complete overview!

It's been a great fall for bonfire's -- have been to two in the last month but haven't perfected pictures in the dark yet!
