Dating Personality Type Quiz

I'm into quizes lately. For those of you that are single, or those that want to know what your "dating peronsality" is, go to the OK Cupid test site. It's interesting.

Do you want to know if you might live to be 100??

My friend over at Frankadelic Frant told me about a survey you can take that gives you a calculated answer to your life expectancy. I went into the survey with the inention to be brutally honest. I really want to know how long I might live. And I was brutally honest (drinking, bad snacks, eating desserts and carbs...all of it.) Believe it or not - my calculated life expectancy is 92.3 years of age!!!!!

After she told me that hers was 91 point something (and she's a healthy girl) I was so sure that mine would be in the 70s, at best. Turns out I'm healthier than I think.

And going into the holiday season I was just starting to plan my healthiness. Try to work out more often, not just tennis, but yoga, walking and weights to build my "core" area. I was also looking at photos from my wedding showers tonight and noticed that I was pretty thin at the time. I don't feel any different, but I sure look different in the face.

So I'm ramped up to stay healthy and see if I can't prove the life calculator wrong. Maybe I can be a centenarian [a.k.a. people that live to be 100]. Who knew that flossing your teeth daily might help to prevent a heart attack down the road??

For your calculated life expectancy and more fun facts about your life and how it affects your health, go take the quiz at http://www.livingto100.com. The site is sponsored by the Alliance for Aging Reserach so there has to be some truth to it.

Huskers win!! Huskers win!!

For the first time since J and I met the Huskers have beat the Wildcats. It sounded like an exciting game in Lincoln. We didn't make the trip, but listened on the radio. What a game.

We both left to run errands and listen to the game in the car. I can home in the fourth quarter and the flag pole went down! Even the flag pole couldn't handle the battle today. We have a flagpole in the front of our house that hold a NE and a KSU flag. Mind you, it's very windy here today, but I thought that was quite a coincedence.

Go big red!

Not gonna do it...

After some more thought and helpful advice from a friend that was a MK consultant at one time, I have decided against the opportunity for now. Maybe some day when I have a couple kids driving me crazy and I need to get out of the house and do something, it would be a better time. But until then, I'm happy with my job, playing tennis as much as I want, and spending alot of quality time with J. ;o) Life is good.

New Opportunity

For those of you that read my blog regularly, thank you!! For those of you that haven't even been here yet - shame, shame!!

I need some quick advise - I've been approached about a new opportunity to start a part-time home business. Nothing fancy, but I've been asked to join a Mary Kay consultant team. My opinion of Mary Kay products has never changed, but my perception has. It seems that I am at a point where this might actually be something that I might try. I have the marketing and people skills to be successful. But I DO NOT WANT to be pushy in any way shape or form. And I know what it's like to be invited to these parties - it's a drag. But I think I could do some one-on-one consulting and support some of my friends. And all the while, save money for myself when I buy product, and meet some new people.

What do you think - am I crazy?? If I decide within 24 hours, I get a free microderm abrasion kit. Help!!

Halloween Hangover

I ate so much sugar yesterday, I swear I have a sugar hangover! I was a jittery and sluggish mess at tennis last night - what a weird feeling. I guess that I actually allowed myself to indulge this year, rather than in the past 2-3 years when I was "dieting." I even made some homemade haystacks (see recipe below) and brought them to work so I wouldn't eat all of them. But I failed to move them off my desk.

When I was a child, and even a teenager, I loved Halloween!! In the small town where I grew up, everyone dressed up and went trick-or-treating. We would pick the houses with really good treats and avoid some others. One of our neighbors used to give carmeled apples and change, like dimes and nickles...now that I think about it, that was very strange. And one lady always made popcorn balls - yummy! Now I just like to see all of the little kids, even though most of them are complete strangers.

I was at tennis last night so I didn't get to greet the trick-or-treaters at our door. Jarrett could tell that I didn't want to dissapoint the kids in our neighborhood so he surprised me and went home to hand out candy - what a sweetie! I think he knows more about the people in our neighborhood than I do. He even scouts out the neighbor to see if she has shackers! And I swear that his old friend Chuck across the street just thinks I come over to Jarrett's to mow the lawn because he never sees me otherwise.

See - I knew this blog was going to be random. Bear with me! I better to get back to work now.


Recipe for Haystacks
1/2 pkg. of Chocolate Almond Bark
1 can of La Choy Chow Mein Noodles
1 small can of peanuts (or cashews)

Melt the almond bark according to instruction on the package (I use the microwave). Add the noodles and nuts. Mix well. Spoon onto wax paper or aluminum foil. Let cool. Yields about 30 clusters. Enjoy!
