- A storm began when I walked out of Linens 'n Things.
- The curtains I bought from Linens 'n Things (pink and orange) are the shorter than my current curtains. I thought the other one was way too long, psh, and they were cheaper. Now they just mismatch.
- I gave into cookies. I always do well with eating a healthy breakfast and lunch, but then the afternoon comes and I crave sweets---chocolate to be exact. I think I'm more addicted to chocolate/sweets than Starbucks. Shocker there.
- I think it's going to storm all this week.
- The Vox meet-up is in Ohio. Ugh. Virginia is for lovers, folks. Come to Virginia Beach!
- My left eye is still red =/ Not as bad as yesterday, but still red. And it hurt on and off today. I took a test on the computer (got in at 1:00 and got out little past 5:00). My eyes are tired =/
- Roger Federer lost his Wimbledon 5-year streak. Ahh, nobody really is perfect. I wanted him to win. I really did. He's a favorite of mine.
Loved:
- My doodles this morning came out kind of cute.
- My bathroom is looking awesome. I bought a pink trashcan to match the new hand towel I bought from Target and the lights I hung bordering the mirror. I'm going to JCPenny's to get bathroom rugs. I'm thinking blue-green. Eeps! Jeff is going to like my totally girly bathroom >.<
- I watched Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants today. I love that movie. Srsly, friends help me live, you know? Like, I wouldn't be able to get through life without friends. All you girls have been more reliable than guys ever were to me.
- Jason Mraz - A Beautiful Mess.
- I'm going to watch Wall-E tomorrow.
- My favorite tree is in my neighborhood's front lawn.
- I'm going to paint my nails a sheer-pink color because mom said the blue made me look like a drug addict.
- Rafael Nadal won Wimbledon 2008! He broke Roger Federer's 5-year streak!
- Andy Roddick. Despite disappointments, I still love him. And despite his relationship with her.

Lately, I think I've lost my regular blog mojo to micro blogging services like twitter and plurk. Something about the immediacy of typing my rants, snarks and moments of fleeting insight just when they pop into my head appeals to me. I also love being able to catch up with the up to the minute happenings of the world around me. Micro blogging has made regular blogging seem cumbersome. But I suspect that's a feeling for me that will fade in time.
But this isn't a post about that. It's a post about something I learned WHILE microblogging. A friend on Plurk asked the people in his network what their Myers-Brigg personality type was, and to take the test here, if they chose to. At the time I could not for the life of me remember what my personality type was, so I decided to take the test again.
I'm an INFJ. And reading the profile told me everything I already knew.
I'm reclusive. Private. Complicated. Intuitive. Caring. Nurturing. And generally not open to letting too many people into the soft gooey center of me (or any other parts, either). I'm also very stubborn about what I believe, and inclined to go with that, even if it seems foreign or even absurd to people around me.
The highlights/lowlights from my obsessive reading on the type on a quiet Saturday night:
INFJs are deeply concerned about their relations with individuals as well as the state of humanity at large. They are, in fact, sometimes mistaken for extroverts because they appear so outgoing and are so genuinely interested in people -- a product of the Feeling function they most readily show to the world. On the contrary, INFJs are true introverts, who can only be emotionally intimate and fulfilled with a chosen few from among their long-term friends, family, or obvious "soul mates." - Introverted iNtuing Feeling Judging, by Marina Margaret Heiss.
Counselors are scarce, little more than one percent of the population, and can be hard to get to know, since they tend not to share their innermost thoughts or their powerful emotional reactions except with their loved ones. They are highly private people, with an unusually rich, complicated inner life. Friends or colleagues who have known them for years may find sides emerging which come as a surprise. Not that Counselors are flighty or scattered; they value their integrity a great deal, but they have mysterious, intricately woven personalities which sometimes puzzle even them. - About Four Temperaments - Keirsey.com
INFJs operate within themselves on an intuitive basis which is entirely spontaneous. They know things intuitively, without being able to pinpoint why, and without detailed knowledge of the subject at hand. They are usually right, and they usually know it. Consequently, INFJs put a tremendous amount of faith into their instincts and intuitions. INFJs have uncanny insight into people and situations. They get "feelings" about things and intuitively understand them.
Consequently,
most INFJs are protective of their inner selves, sharing only what they choose
to share when they choose to share it. They are deep, complex individuals, who
are quite private and typically difficult to understand. INFJs hold back part
of themselves, and can be secretive. - Potrait of an INFJ
What's your personality type? Does it fit you?
feels like '94 again...
My sister is leaving to return to LA tomorrow, but before she went - she wanted to have a pre birthday mini celebration. She knows I'm likely to be hiding in the very back of my cave this weekend.
so Nas' album has leaked...

I've been getting caught up with online stuff. I uploaded some photos to flickr and such. It's been a nice sunny day today. :) Tomorrow I need to go to the post office to see about my filter. I wants it! We have the front room and kitchen partially unpacked. :) Woo! I had so much to say, but as soon as I started typing my mind went blank. Boo. Kai has today off. We're going to try to get the baby's room together so she can start hopefully sleeping in there.
I found this cute blue/white/brown polka dot shelf liner at Target the other day. So I've been lining the kitchen drawers with it since they were totally unlined and icky. I'm gonna tackle the cabinets soon. I can't wait til things settle down so we can go to the zoo and the coast. I miss the water and the sand and everything! I wish the water on this coast was as nice as it was in Florida.
Speaking of the coast have you seen Wilmington real estate? It's preeettty!
