Now add up the total number of points.

OVER 60 POINTS : Others see you as someone they should "handle with care." You're seen as vain, self-centered, and who is extremely dominant.. Others may admire you, wishing they could be more like
you, but don't always trust you, hesitating to become too deeply involved with you.

51 TO 60 POINTS: Others see you as an exciting, highly volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural leader, who's quick to make decisions, though not always the right ones. They see you as bold and
adventuresome, someone who will try anything once; someone who takes chances and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company
because of the excitement! you r adiate.

41 TO 50 POINTS: Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting; someone who's constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who'll always cheer them up and help them out.

31 TO 40 POINTS: Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful & practical. They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone
who's extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expect the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know you realize it takes a lot to shake your trust In your friends, but equally that it takes yo u a long time to get over if that trust is ever broken.

21 TO 30 POINTS: Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy. They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder. It would! really surprise them if you ever did something
impulsively or on the spur of the moment, expecting you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then, usually decide against it. They think this reaction is caused partly by your careful nature.

UNDER 21 POINTS: People think you are shy, nervous, and indecisive, someone who needs looking after, who always wants someone else to make the decisions & who doesn't want to get involved with
anyone or anything! They see you as a worrier who always sees problems that don't exist. So me people think you're boring. Only those who know you well know that you aren't.

Here is a picture of my new (1st) tattoo.  It was done last Friday by Nic at Uptown Tattoo.  He is a genius and I think it's pretty sweet. And it looks way better in person, but what're you gonna do....(Victoria and Logan are my kids' names by the way)....

ok, so it's been almost 90 days since my last blog, I realize.  I have not really been into blogging lately (obviously), but I am doing this for Amy.  An update: Logan is (finally) done with the potty training.  Day, night and everything else.  Tori started second grade a few weeks ago; she is growing up too fast.  I keep telling her to stop but she won't listen to me.  Rob is up for an early promotion at work (yay), and we are thinking of moving a little farther west- the Rockford, Greenfield, Corcoran area.  I will try to blog more often for those of you who actually enjoy reading them, but I make no promises.

Logan went poop on the potty!!!!

I realize if you don't have kids or if your kids haven't gone through toilet training yet, then this seems rediculous, but for us, it was a huge triumph tonight.  So go ahead, congratulate me.
