we had women's Bible study tonight for the first time in two months and it was a sweet time!

i just drank a cup of warm cappucino with milk and cinnamon and it was good.

frazzle rock -

this is my new nickname - according to jake. how nice!

anyway, according to www.kiersey.com i am a Healer Idealist. check out what they say about my personality type. this analysis is related to the meyers briggs results. gosh i love personality tests. maybe cuz i can't figure myself out sometimes and it makes me feel like if someone else can label me, then i'll make sense. HAHA. yeah right.

"Healer Idealists are abstract in thought and speech, cooperative in striving for their ends, and informative and introverted in their interpersonal relations. Healer present a seemingly tranquil, and noticiably pleasant face to the world, and though to all appearances they might seem reserved, and even shy, on the inside they are anything but reserved, having a capacity for caring not always found in other types. They care deeply-indeed, passionately-about a few special persons or a favorite cause, and their fervent aim is to bring peace and integrity to their loved ones and the world.

Healers have a profound sense of idealism derived from a strong personal morality, and they conceive of the world as an ethical, honorable place. Indeed, to understand Healers, we must understand their idealism as almost boundless and selfless, inspiring them to make extraordinary sacrifices for someone or something they believe in. The Healer is the Prince or Princess of fairytale, the King's Champion or Defender of the Faith, like Sir Galahad or Joan of Arc. Healers are found in only 1 percent of the general population, although, at times, their idealism leaves them feeling even more isolated from the rest of humanity."

another thought

i forgot to say - i have several paintings for sale at The Artists' Coop in Laurens, SC. you can check out their website at www.laurensartistscoop.org. it really is a cool gallery.

also, isn't it crazy that mariah carey has her own font? is that the "true" sign of divahood?

a mini update

i think back on the past 9 months of my life and can't believe it. so many ups and a few big downs. so many changes. i'm going to learn to stop saying what next. maybe

i started working again this week. i had almost forgotten what that really felt like. not that i've been slacking totally for the past few months - wedding planning is not a piece of cake (and i have done "some" subbing and a good bit of artwork)- but it is a lot different when you have a boss that is holding you accountable. no, it's just different when you have to be at work at 7:00 in the morning! i didn't even know my brain would work that early in the morning - HAH! but the job is interesting and definitely keeps my mind from dwelling on things too much. an idle mind is truly a dangerous thing. so now i find myself in the kitchen design world - again. how did this happen? i do not know for sure. but it did, and even though i am still getting over my first kitchen design job trauma, i can't help but be very grateful for the job and hopeful that this one will be a lot different.

ciao!
