Personality- what's your type?

I have, and will probably always be a freak about this stuff. I LOVE personality typing. I always make friends and co-workers take this one, and it is scarily accurate. I wish that you could have someone take this in the beginning stages of dating. Sure would give you some insight. And, in my dating experience, I could surely use some!

Go take it! What are you, and do you think it's accurate?

I am an ENFP. Mine has changed over the years, but mine is pretty much right on. Here are some points I think are very accurate:

Good communication skills

Very perceptive about people's thought and motives
Fun to be with - lively sense of humor, dramatic, energetic, optimistic
Driven to meet other's needs

Usually loyal and dedicated
Extreme dislike of conflict

Extreme dislike of criticism
Don't pay attention to their own needs
Constant quest for the perfect relationship may make them change relationships frequently

May become bored easily
Have difficulty scolding or punishing others

Things I am looking forward to

Working out tonight with a co-worker. I need to get my butt back in shape!


A lazy, rainy weekend at home with Taryn. I want to get some art supplies, and make some homemade Valentine's with her. Thanks for the idea Jules.


Getting crafty, and finishing decorating my new apartment.


A visit from the Venske's! It got postponed from this weekend due to baby Venske being sick, and bad weather. We are now looking a Valentine's Day weekend. The Weekend of Love with great friends. Sounds perfect.


Starting therapy again for the first time in years. I am trying to make all areas in my life as healthy as possible.


Making my vision board. I have been collecting items for it for over a year now, and have never put it all together.


A visit from my family. I miss my little sister a lot. They are planning on coming in early February.

Halloween idea

So, I know it's only January, but I have decided I am pretty sure I want to be Bon Qui Qui for Halloween this year! I considered dressing up as her last year, but I procrastinated and it's not a costume you can do last minute. I will have to stay in character though, which will be a lot of fun.

Don't know who Bon Qui Qui is? Check her out:

twenty-seven

So, I recently celebrated my 27th birthday. Upper-twenties man... sure making me feel old. This birthday was a weird one. Maybe my expectations were too high. I had some friends come in from Houston. Dinner and drinks were the agenda...

Here are a few pictures

Drinks at Chuy's for lunch


My birthday got over-taken, and didn't go exactly the way it was planned. All put into perspective though, I have realized some pretty important things. Learning a lot about myself and what I will and will not stand for.

Chapter One (again)

Officially back in Austin for 3 weeks now, and things are good. I am at a completely different stage in my life that I was when I last lived here. I am no longer a party girl in my early 20's. I am a single working mom who is trying to figure it all out.

A promotion brought me here, and it is surreal to be back in my favorite city and at the old property I used to work at, now as the property manager. I love my job, and staff. I usually deal with change so well, but all at once is a little overwhelming right now.

I have recently re-connected with an old friend and I'm happy to have her back in my life again. Also trying to re-define another friendship right now, or figure out if its time for it to fade away. Missing the great social network I had in Houston a lot. I have some fantastic friends there. Since being back here in Austin, I really desire to make some new friendships and connect with other mothers. It's difficult making friends as an adult although I am very outgoing!

Here's to my next new adventure!
