Fully Alive…Ready to Smile

So I took a color quiz and this is what they’ve spent millions of dollars and years of research to tell me about myself…(I don’t know if they actually spent millions, I kind of hope not as it would be money wasted). My comments are in pink.

Your Existing Situation

Hopes to obtain an improved position and greater prestige, so that she can procure for herself more of the things she has had to do without (Did someone I know talk to them?).

Your Stress Sources

The situation is regarded as threatening and dangerous (Uh oh…). Outraged at the thought that she will be unable to achieve her goals and distressed at her feeling of helplessness to remedy this (Oh, that’s definitely me, outraged!!) Over-extended and feels beset, possibly to the point of nervous prostration (It sounds like I need help!).

Your Restrained Characteristics (Do I have a restrained bone in my body?)

Emotionally inhibited. Feels forced to compromise, making it difficult for her to form a stable emotional attachment (hee, hee…).

Your Desired Objective

Wants interesting and exciting things to happen (ya, that’s true…). Able to make herself well-liked by her obvious interest and by the very openness of her charm (You’ve got me pegged…I’m just a charm factory!). Over-imaginative and given to fantasy or day-dreaming (Okay that’s kinda creepy how real that is).

Your Actual Problem (I have a problem?)

Depleted vitality has created an intolerance for any further stimulation, or demands on her resources (maybe from my kids…). This feeling of powerlessness subjects her to agitation and acute distress. She attempts to escape into a substitute world (how funny is that? blogging anyone?) in which things are more nearly as she desires them to be.

Your Actual Problem #2 (Oh, boy, another problem?)

Has a fear that she might be prevented from achieving the things she wants. This leads her to employ great personal charm in her dealings with others, hoping that this will make it easier for her to reach her objectives (I don’t think personal charm will get me to Italy, do you…unless you know someone with a private jet that I can charm the socks off?).

New Year’s resolutions are too hard to keep and I don’t know many people that have lasted more than maybe a couple months in keeping them. So today I made a new day resolution.

You see, I’m kind of addicted to blogging (and lately, reading other blogs)…ya, ya, you all knew that already, I know. In the last couple of weeks I noticed my house falling behind in the cleanliness area and my brain was in this state of “I don’t care” mode. Yesterday I decided that I did indeed care and went on a flurry of cleaning. Storming around the house muttering, “How does this get so bad? Am I the only one who notices when it gets this bad?” and so on. All the while in the back of my head I’m thinking, “You’re the one who did or should I say didn’t do this! If you didn’t spend so much time sitting around at your computer, maybe your house would look better!”

Thus the resolution. No, I’m not going to actually blog less, but I am going to do what needs doing before I go on the computer. Make sure my dishes are washed or in the dishwasher, laundry that needs folding is folded, table is wiped, etc. This will be my motivation for blogging. I will probably have to make that resolution newly every day, but I’ll try very hard to stick to it! I’m very impressed with the people who take a hiatus from blogging, but I’ll be honest with you, I’m just too fond of it. So I’ll make it work instead of letting it take over.

This is kind of fun. I found it on Leslie’s blog. Go and try it, it’s fun. Then go visit Leslie! (I met her at the Ultimate Blog Party)
