Whatever we deny or embrace

I was recently asked to show off my favorite layout. Wow. What a tough one. A Favorite? That might mean that one (or more) have sucked it - big. And really - what would it do to my ego if I thought I wasn't top notch at all times?!
Nonetheless - I do indeed have a favorite. Sure - I have more than one favorite (and no, they really aren't all my favorites).
So you, there, Park It and look at one of my favorite LOs!

Am I really?

You Are a Funhouse

You are an open, flexible person who is able to see the world through many perspectives.
Self reflective and honest, you're able to take a hard, objective look at yourself (even if you don't like what you see!).
In relationships, you are a bit of a narcissist. But you can't really help it...
You're by far the most interesting person you know!

Your life is a bit perplexing. Things aren't always what they seem - even to you.
You've successfully cultivated an enigmatic reputation. But you're still a mystery to yourself.
Deep down, you often feel a little lost in the world. And you're okay with that.
Trapdoors and dead ends are something you expect. You just enjoy figuring out what it all means.

At your best, you are self aware and savvy.
You know yourself well... including where you've been and where you're going.
At your worst, you are vain, self centered, and egotistical.
You sometimes look so far inward... it's the only thing you see.

From Their Blog to Mine

Another one of those silly challenges from the SSD Blog!




Your Karaoke Theme Song is "Margaritaville"



You are a true party animal, but your style is mild and chill.

Kicking back with a few friends and a few drinks is all you need to be happy.



You certainly don't feel pressured to be a part of any party scene. In fact, you avoid trendier spots.

You've been known to kick loose anywhere and everywhere. All you need is a cooler.



You might also sing: "Gin and Juice," "Love Shack," and "Red Red Wine"



Stay away from people who sing: "Wind Beneath My Wings"



And this is really funny - as I (as most know) am a HUGE Jimmy Buffett fan. What? You didn't know? Do you think my dh's initials being JB is coincidence?! I even have a Buffett themed tattoo! ;)
However, there is an actual very slight chance that I would get up and humiliate not only myself, but those around me, with my singing voice.

This one goes out to the one I Love

yeah, I'm playing name that tune ;)

This fall Carter has been playing soccer. I use that term loosely. I drive for 40 minutes each way so my kid can bring me a collection of dead and/or dying dandelions, a few random feathers, and he has a decent (not always great) time kicking dirt, and being told that laying down to watch clouds isn't what the coach had in mind when he told Carter to get out on the field.

For documentation sake - here's a bit of visual proof.

What should *you* be for Halloween is the real question

Those silly girls (hi La!) over at SSD have done it again - they want me to play from Their Blog to mine - this time telling me what I should be for Halloween.....
After getting my results, I wondered how I would look next to Carter who wants to be a..... toilet.




Your Halloween Costume Should Be



A Hot Dog
