I thought this was interesting and wanted to share it with all of you.  I’ve taken parts of the Keirsey Personality Test but I’m always amused when I see things regarding it in print again.  I will forever be the Idealist, I suppose.

This is information about the Idealist:  Idealist

You can take a partial quiz here:  Temperament

Ok…I realize that I suck at keeping up to date here.  I do.  I want to get in, write, say things, respond to your sites, share life, joys, upsets, whatever.  I really suck at getting in here, though.  I’ve got every excuse in the world:  I work a lot, I go to school full-time, I just bought and moved into a new home, my family has issues, I am busy dating someone (ok, I’m not but it could be an excuse SOMEDAY!).

There’s always an excuse.

I love to write.  I write constantly.  So why can’t I write here?

I’ll be honest.  Part of it is that I feel watched by an ex.  He knows this site.  He could be reading this right now.  I’ll hear about it.  I don’t feel free.  I don’t feel like I can express how I feel about my life, my joys, my breakups, my get-togethers, etc. because I may be watched.

That sucks, too.

Part of it is that I tend to be pretty private about the things that really affect me and I don’t feel good about being superficial here.  I want to be able to explore all different sides of me.

I can try.  See how it all goes.  It doesn’t hurt to try.  Right?

That being said, I wanted to share a bit with you all.

This is my new home.

I haven’t taken any pictures inside, yet. It’s a manufactured home (they have a bad rap but the new ones are amazing…stucco’d walls, 2×6 walls, skylight, etc.)  but it’s on 2 1/2 acres so I can always build later (when I can afford more).

This is a view of my home. You can see that there is a nice hill behind me covered with trees. That’s to the south of me. To the west are more hills. In the far distance of the north, there are even more hills that I can see.

This view is of the San Francisco Peaks to the northeast of me. My neighbor has a lot of animals, as you can see.

This view is Mount Elden to the southeast of me. More of my neighbor’s animals are also included in this one.

I hope you enjoy a piece of me.

Ok…I have an excuse this time.  Really.  I’ve been moving into my new home.  I bought a home and I’m so dang excited.  It, of course, did not come without some drama but I’m in now and I’m loving it.  I’m a homeowner (can you see me singing and dancing this?  That’s how it’s going.  Heh.).

Life is going well right now.  It’s hectic but going well.

School starts next week so my postings will be sparse again but I’ll try to keep up.  Work is a little crazy right now, too, but January is always a bit crazy here.

I’m having a housewarming party to invite people over.  Hey, we single women have to find SOME reason to throw parties and receive gifts!!! 

I’m trying out for the Vagina Monologues tonight.  A local domestic violence awareness group is performing the monologues to raise awareness and cash for V-Day.  I don’t know if I’ll get the part but it’s a worthy cause to me.

I hope all is well on your side of the world.  Have a lovely day today!
