Which 4 Words Are Yours?

This graphic has been making the rounds on Facebook. I was really surprised at the accuracy of its four descriptive words about me; perhaps one chooses the words that one likes internally. But the ones I found are:

• naive
• shy
• peaceful
• patient

This was fun, so why don't you quickly look and see which four words you find. List them in the comments!

What is it?

A dear friend sent me a belated birthday present, which I opened this afternoon. I am not sure what it is. All I know is that it originally was a fork.

What do I say in my thank you note?

The only thing I can think of is that it could (?) be a holder for reading glasses. . . . The nice thing about the silver pattern is that it was the pattern of my mother's stainless steel flatware.

Interview with MomPriest as a form of procrastination

Over at Choralgirl's I found the following questions for an "interview" from Mompriest at RevGalBlogPals:

1. Where do you blog?
Right here at Yearning for God, which is how I usually feel. Back when I was going to Oblate School of Theology in San Antonio, I had a professor who was an expert on Karl Rahner and said that he (KR) wrote about any desire/yearning for God BEING the PRESENCE of God.

2. What are your favorite non-revgal blog pal blogs?
Too many to list, so you can look at my blog roll. Here are a few: The Quaker Agitator, Meditation Matters, and Zen Habits.

3. What gives you joy?
My family, babies, puppies, hugs

4. What is your favorite sound?
The ocean

5. What do you hope to hear once you enter the pearly gates?
Welcome home.

6. You have up to 15 words, what would you put on your tombstone?
Beloved

7. Write the first sentence of your own great American novel.
??

8. What color do you prefer your pen?
Black

9. What magazines do you subscribe too?
Weavings, The Christian Century, Sojourners, Newsweek

10. What is something you want to achieve in this decade?
Finally finish my scholarly papers

11. Why are you cool?
I'm not. I vividly recall my teenage daughter AE telling me when were going to move back to Corpus Christi from NJ that my TX friends Becky and Daryl were cool, but I wasn't. I remember I replied, "I know."

12. What is one of your favorite memories?
Individually, having and holding each one of my (four) babies.

13. Anything else you've always wanted to be asked?
Would you lead a retreat?

Do you know your states?

This is a geography quiz, which I did not do too well on. My husband scored 89% correct. Do you know where the states go in a USA map?

Know your States

We're all geniuses

And so you must be a genius to be reading my blog!

Hope you do better than I did! And I used to be an elementary school teacher. . . .

How Texan?

I've lived in Texas longer than anywhere else in my life (about 24 years total), so I thought I'd see if I've grown "Texan":

You Are 24% Texas

You're as welcome in Texas as a skunk at a lawn party.

How Texas Are You?

Presbyterian Gal scored 48%, and she doesn't even live in Texas! (Could there be some similarities to TX and CA? I wish TX could be more liberal.) About my 24%, all I can think is that each year another percent was added onto my Texan profile!

a silly quiz

Just like Crimson Rambler, I'm this time in the morning:

Which Wife of Henry VIII are you?

Which of Henry VIII's wives are you?
this quiz was made by Lori Fury

Saw this over at Crimson Rambler's and had to try it.

Procrastinating Saturday

Fiddling away on the computer, avoiding Greek, EFM, cleaning, and almost anything else you can think of. THOUGH I did hang out clothes on the clothesline! Seeing this at Ms. Kitty's Saloon and Road Show, I had to try it:

Personality Test

I saw this over at Wyld's Q & A, though he ended up with prettier colors than I did.

What Kind of Reader Are You? Your Result: Obsessive-Compulsive Bookworm You're probably in the final stages of a Ph.D. or otherwise finding a way to make your living out of reading. You are one of the literati. Other people's grammatical mistakes make you insane.

Thanks to Mike at The Mercy Blog.

I was mostly Dedicated Reader, with some Book Snob and Literate Good Citizen thrown in. Reading the Harry Potter books got me into a smidgen of Fad Reader.

What time of day?

From Purpletologically Speaking's blog via Views from the Road I decided to take another silly quiz. . . .as I have nothing "profound" to say. Now if I could only get up earlier (look below) so I'd walk again each morning, which would aid in my goal to Choose Health!

You Are Sunrise

You enjoy living a slow, fulfilling life. You enjoy living every moment, no matter how ordinary. You are a person of reflection and meditation. You start and end every day by looking inward. Caring and giving, you enjoy making people happy. You're often cooking for friends or buying them gifts. All in all, you know how to love life for what it is - not for how it should be.

What Time Of Day Are You?

Wish I could eat a cookie instead of be one!

Still procrastinating tonight, as I contemplate school starting tomorrow and me going back to walking at 7 am everyday. Why I procrastinate and Further procrastination on Saturday are just the precursors of this little quiz about what kind of cookie I am.

You Are an Oatmeal Raisin Cookie

On the surface, you're a little plain - but you have many subtle dimensions to your personality. Sometimes you're down to earth and crunchy. Other times, you're sweet and a little gooey.

What Kind of Cookie Are You?

Further procrastination on Saturday

I am definitely living out my first post for today: Why I procrastinate. From Wormwood Doxy, I tried out the country contest, and here I am:

You're the United Nations!

Most people think you're ineffective, but you are trying to completely save the world from itself, so there's always going to be a long way to go. You're always the one trying to get friends to talk to each other, enemies to talk to each other, anyone who can to just talk instead of beating each other about the head and torso. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, and you get very schizophrenic as a result. But your heart is in the right place, and sometimes also in New York.

Harry Potter's Sorting Hat

I still find refuge in the Harry Potter books. After reading the last book, I started all over again with the first one. In the past month, I have read them all in sequence. Today I started the last one for the second time, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7). Escaping to the magical world gets me to forget my own sense of loss at losing my spiritual director. (In fact, today I cried again over Dumbledore's death in book 6 and in Fr. David's office.)

So I found the link to the "Sorting Hat Ceremony" at The Vicar of Hogsmeade site. And the sorting hat found me here, though I might have just as easily gotten into Hufflepuff.
