this is a fun little test that i was sent by a great friend. it is quick easy and fun. the basis is that according to our personality we are all cartoon characters... I'll let the test itself explain:



EVERYONE has a personality of a cartoon character. Have you ever asked yourself what cartoon character do you most resemble? (seriously, I have never asked myself this question, but keep going...)

You are very comfortable, easy going, and you definitely know how to have fun but sometimes you take it to an extreme. You always know what you are doing and you are always in control of your life. Others may not see things as you do, but that doesn't mean that you always have to do what is right. Try to remember, your happy spirit may hurt you or others...

(17-23 points) You are Snoopy:
You are fun; you are very cool and popular.. You always know what's in and you ' re never out of style , you are good at knowing how to satisfy everyone else. You have probably disappeared for a few days more than once but you always come home with the family values that you learned Being married and having children are important to you, but only after you have had your share of fun times.

(24-28 points) You are Elmo:
You have lots of friends and you are also popular, always willing to give advice and help out a person in need. You are very optimistic and you always see the bright side of things. Some good
advice:try not to be too much of a dreamer. Dreaming too big could cause many conflicts in your life.

(29-35 points) You are Sponge Bob Square Pants.
You are the classic person that everyone loves. You are the best friend that anyone could ever have and never wants to lose. You never cause harm to anyone and they would never not understand your feelings. Life is a journey, it's funny and calm for the most part. Stay away from traitors and jealous people and you will be stress free...

(36-43 points) You are Charlie Brown:
You are tender, you fall in love quickly but you are also very serious about all relationships.. You are a family person. You call your Mom every Sunday. You have many friends and may occasionally forget a few Birthdays. Don't let your passion confuse you with reality.

(44-50 points ) You are Dexter:
You are smart and definitely a thinker.... Every situation is fronted with a plan. You have a brilliant mind. You demonstrate very strong family principles. You maintain a stable routine but never ignore a bad situation when it comes. Try to do less over thinking every once in a while to spice things up a bit with spontaneity!


Okay. How did you do? It turns out that I am Sponge Bob Square Pants! I never though I would ever relate myself to Sponge Bob, but here I am. I am flattered by the description and wonder if other people really view me this way. If so I will use it as a tool to build my
self esteem. I'll say to myself, "You are Sponge Bob Square pants and dangit people like you!"

jelly beans

so who knew that jelly beans could taste so good? i have had jelly belly jelly beans several times and of course like them. this easter eli really wanted jelly beans, it is actually about the only thing he talked about for easter. he didn't care if he got anything else during the easter egg hunt, but he would have been one sorely disappointed boy if he missed out on the jelly beans. he even announced in primary that easter was coming and easter means jelly beans! as you can imagine, i didn't want him to be disappointed. i bought the good kind! the boys have been having so much fun sorting through the bowl of jelly beans and matching them up with the bag to find the good flavors! i sorted through and took out several buttered popcorn ones. have you had these? how do the do it? i mean really, how do you pack in enough flavor that an eraser sized candy really tastes like you are eating popcorn? i'm not sure how they do and i guess i don't care just as long as they keep doing it. yum!

last summer my niece kylee generously shared some jelly beans with me and my sisters. these were not just any jelly beans, these were the harry potter selection from jelly belly. it became almost a contest to see which one of us could gross out the other the most by being brave enough to eat the nastiest flavors. we actually tried things like green grass (tastes just like fresh cut grass), black pepper, boogers and dirt. they were amazingly real tasting! there were however flavors that none of us even dared to smell, let alone taste. thing like vomit, poop, ear wax, etc... nasty! but very funny. we had such a great time tasting and laughing. i never thought i would make memories with anyone while eating rotten egg and earthworms! you should give it a try... if you don't like them you can always wash out all those tastes with a soap flavored one!

miss austen regrets


last night i finally got to watch a movie that has been on my netflix q for way too long. i have been anxiously waiting to watch this movie, hoping that it would be another love. last fall i watched the new "sense and sensibility" by bbc and absolutely loved it! when i looked it up to purchase it i notices that it was being sold with "miss austen regrets". i of course placed it on my netflix q right away and have been waiting to see it. i know that i could have moved it to the top of my q, and it was there off and on. but i guess i was also a little nervous about seeing this movie in fear that it wouldn't hold true with my picture of the perfect jane austen. i must say, it was wonderful! i love jane austen and her books, but especially the movies. i love to read, but there is something transforming about watching your favorite characters come to life on the screen. i have more to say, but i won't. watch it and decide for yourself.

here is a trailer:
