Grace
James enjoyed tossing the teddy on the ice, but as soon as he realized it was GONE, he was not so happy!
We had a board budget meeting this morning. We ended at 12:15. James has hockey from 12-1, so this was my hour alone. I do cherish my alone time very much, being an introvert and all. I take a break from the chores during this time and just read and write. I made a turkey and bacon sandwich, watched a crazy video of cars in Portland on Erin's blog and took a quiz that told me I was a Grace:

You Are a Grace!
You are a Grace -- "I need to understand the world."
Graces have a need for knowledge and are introverted, curious, analytical, and insightful.
How to Get Along with Me
* * Be independent, not clingy
* * Speak in a straightforward and brief manner
* * I need time alone to process my feelings and thoughts
* * Remember that If I seem aloof, distant, or arrogant, it may be that I am feeling uncomfortable
* * Make me feel welcome, but not too intensely, or I might doubt your sincerity
* * If I become irritated when I have to repeat things, it may be because it was such an effort to get my thoughts out in the first place
* * don't come on like a bulldozer
* * Help me to avoid my pet peeves: big parties, other people's loud music, overdone emotions, and intrusions on my privacy
What I Like About Being a Grace * standing back and viewing life objectively * coming to a thorough understanding; perceiving causes and effects * my sense of integrity: doing what I think is right and not being influenced by social pressure * not being caught up in material possessions and status * being calm in a crisis
What's Hard About Being a Grace
* * being slow to put my knowledge and insights out in the world
* * feeling bad when I act defensive or like a know-it-all
* * being pressured to be with people when I don't want to be
* * watching others with better social skills, but less intelligence or technical skill, do better professionally
Graces as Children Often
* * spend a lot of time alone reading, making collections, and so on
* * have a few special friends rather than many
* * are very bright and curious and do well in school
* * have independent minds and often question their parents and teachers
* * watch events from a detached point of view, gathering information
* * assume a poker face in order not to look afraid
* * are sensitive; avoid interpersonal conflict
* * feel intruded upon and controlled and/or ignored and neglected
Graces as Parents
* * are often kind, perceptive, and devoted
* * are sometimes authoritarian and demanding
* * may expect more intellectual achievement than is developmentally appropriate
* * may be intolerant of their children expressing strong emotions

I'm a Marilyn, which kinda makes sense.
Thanks for the mention! I imagine after this storm I will have more fun videos to post.
I'm Ingrid. Pretty darn accurate if you ask me.
Thanks Aphra, that was fun!
