The Pecking Order

Do you believe sibling birth order predicts behavior, character traits, and even life success or failure rates?

Where do you fall in the birth order lineup?

On the Big Screen...

...in which movie would you star, and which character would you be?

Here's hoping for a great week ahead. To get us started the right way, some food for thought:



Which of your personal dreams or goals, if like this beautiful cactus flower with its very short lifespan, would you nurture and encourage to bloom today? 

  








4:30 A.M. (glorious birth)

9:30 A.M. (forever closing)

Whatever your dream, may it live a long and gratifying life!

Gumbo Gripes & Grins

HAPPY LABOR DAY!

If you have time between firing up the BBQ pit, hosting or attending family & friend gatherings, or just lazing around...

share your gripes (pet peeves) and grins (things that make ya smile) with your Blogorama buddies today. Enquiring minds wanna know!

To get the ball rolling, I'll start ~~

Grins: naps and a day off from life's treadmill
Gripes: rude drivers and selfish people

See how easy that was? Now, your turn....

Monday Brain Food ~ Dominant Personality Quiz

Photo by Nawal_

You're pretty familiar with your personality, characteristics and quirks, right? Here's a quick and fun quiz about your DOMINANT PERSONALITY TRAITS which might not be quite as well known to you. According to the test, I'm Passion. {Let's not confirm that with King Rufus, okay?} :)

This might be a fun tool to put some of your novel's characters through also. Do you know how they'd react in certain situations?

Hope your week is a great and easy one, especially if you have kidlets transitioning from summer sloth back to school schedules.

I'm working my way through all the wonderful entries in the Haiku Hoedown last week, and will announce the winner Wednesday, the day we yap about all things writing and writerly.

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?

"Table for one, monsieur?"

That's my bad bad Boston Terrier asleep on the patio table. He's 7 1/2 months old and in need of obedience school, but he's beaucoup fun to have around. Let's just say he fits into the family well. 'Nuff said.

Seeing him sprawled on the tabletop asleep like this yesterday brought to mind a question for Monday's useless trivia/brain food/brain teaser topic:

If you could dine with anyone (dead, alive or even a fictional character), who would you choose? And, hey, dinner's on me, so knock yourself out. *grin*

Hope your week is productive and without an ounce of stress!

Monday Brain Food

Hidy. If you're feeling sluggish from a long weekend, here's a little food for your noggin in the form of a short quiz that's all about intuition. Ever wonder if you follow your "gut" or your "head?" Now you can find out. The quiz was created by psychologist and author of The Intuitive Edge, Dr. Philip Goldberg.

The quiz is supposed to test your style of decision making and problem solving through the results of 32 questions with only A or B answers. You'll need pen and paper to tabulate your score.

Lemme know how ya scored! (I got 27.)
