i love comments. i especially love comments commenting on my family which i got a few posts ago. thank-you gina! these are for you.

the color code

so last night i was blog hopping and came across this personality assessment test called the color code.
here's my test results:

Blues (Motive: Intimacy)
blues are motivated by Intimacy. They seek to genuinely connect with others, and need to be understood and appreciated. Everything they do is quality-based. They are loyal friends, employers, and employees. Whatever or whomever they commit to is their sole (and soul) focus. They love to serve and give of themselves freely in order to nurture others' lives.

K, your personality profile indicates that you have significant portions of other colors in your overall makeup that help shape your unique personality style.

blues have distinct preferences and have the most controlling personality. Their personal code of ethics is remarkably strong and they expect others to live honest, committed lives as well. They enjoy sharing meaningful moments in conversation as well as paying close attention to special life events (e.g. birthdays and anniversaries). blues are dependable, thoughtful, and analytical; but can also be self-righteous, worry-prone, and moody. They are "sainted pit-bulls" who never let go of something or someone once they are committed. When you deal with a BLUE, be sincere and make a genuine effort to understand and appreciate them.

i say its pretty right on. what's your color and what does it say about you?

working hard

working on my closet at the moment. took out the shoe shelves and moved in the high boy. mike was suppose to do this but that means i could be waiting 5 years like i did in the old house waiting for closet doors. kaylee came in saving me by wanting a snack ie "crabby patties" which means she wants a bologna sandwich on a hamburger bun. hmm.... does that mean she watches too much spongebob? since i cant seem to find my usb cords to download pictures thought i would share some time consuming fun. i did this a few weeks ago.

you too can do this by going to poladroid. ok back to work.

wednesday's randoms

randomness because i'm lazy and i like lists.

1. getting back to semi-normal. actually made dinner tonight and ate in the dining room. second meal cooked by me in the new house. {first meal was chili + cornbread saturday. tonight it was chicken +noodles + potatoes.}

2. kaylee is opening up some. she went to mike's buddy brent over the weekend and actually sat in his lap. then yesterday mike had one of his employee/friend come over to see the house and she would tease him by playing tag etc. while mike was showing him the 1/2 bath off the garage kaylee informs them both that she poops in there. isn't she the cutest?

3. i'm afraid that the other homeowner in arlene will not forward my mail and its making me nervous.

4. mike was named operations supervisor (which he already was) but now over another area. too bad that doesn't mean more pay.

5. went shopping today and found some curtains for hamilton's room. jcpenneys is having a great sale. one panel was like 30 bucks and i got the second one for a buck. they're the black out ones too. once his room is all finished i will post pictures.

6. i think hamilton's liking the new house. his rooms a lot closer to the kitchen and he's looking forward to getting a car. so am i. dropping him off in the morning and then having to pick him by 3pm really cuts into my busy days of blogging/reading blogs, oh wait, i mean unpacking and cleaning and taking care of kaylee.

7. i do have some pictures to post but have been too lazy to download them.

8. kaylee asks to go back to the old house once every once in awhile and she also asks if we will live here forever and ever.

9. i still need to see confessions of a shopaholic + he's just not into you

10. mike tells me today that he forgot to send out one of the radon tests. i kinda figured but didn't want to say anything and to give him the benefit of the doubt for once.

finally!

so closing went well today. the only drama was time scheduling but it wasn't a big deal considering all that we have gone through. holla! we are finally over the housing drama and we are now homeowners of a new place and i must say its wonderful! {till we get our first mortgage payment that is-ha!} have i mentioned how much i love doing laundry at the moment? yep, my laundry sings to me when its all done. we didn't get the most expensive appliances but we got side loaders and they're energy efficient and they chime when its all done and they're on the main level, few steps away from the kitchen, master bedroom and garage. gotta love that! yesterday after our closing on arlene we went furniture shopping. i'm looking for a white coffee table for the living room and a buffet for the dining room. i didn't find anything. mike found a white sox mural to go behind his command center. pictures will be posted soon. i did find this on-line tonight and i got these pillows for the new couch.

table from ikea and pillows from pier 1.

love it!
