The Utensil Quiz

You Are Chopsticks

People see you as exotic, unusual, and even a bit intimidating. You are a difficult person to figure out. In truth, you try to live a very simple life. But most people are too frenzied to recognize the beauty of your simplicity.

What Utensil Are You?

I had lunch with my brother at Copacabana Bolivian Restaurant in Pike Place Market on Friday afternoon. I ordered the Paella. It was a beautiful sight for the eyes and tasted pretty awesome too.

Olympic Spirit

Saw this when surfing the IOC website earlier this week. I love the Olympics! I love the spirit of the games, the stories of triumph over impossible odds and lifelong dreams come true. I cry every time I turn on the TV during the 16 days of competition and hear a story about triumph over the odds. I really enjoyed this and think it encompasses a bit of that spirit. Enjoy! And happy game watching!

I can't take credit for this one as Don took it on the deck at Ray's Cafe last week.

Photo of the Day - Barge on Lake Union

Barge on Lake Union, originally uploaded by JewellsinSEA.

Whenever I see barges I think of the campfire song from Girl Scout camp by the same name, lyrics below.

Barges

Barges, I would like to go with you
I would like to sail the ocean blue

Barges, is there a treasure in your hold?
Do you fight with pirates brave and bold?

Out of my window, looking in the night
I can see the barges flickering light

Barges, I would like to go with you
I would like to sail the ocean blue

Starboard shines green and port is glowing red
I can see those barges from my bed

Barges, I would like to go with you
I would like to sail the ocean blue

Barges, is there a treasure in your hold?
Do you fight with pirates brave and bold?

The House Test

What the House Test Says About You

You consider yourself important, but no more important than anyone else. You love attention, but you don't feel like you deserve more of it than anyone else. You are a fairly community oriented person. You like to get to know your neighbors, but you also like your privacy. You get attached to neighborhoods and cities. You are creative, expressive, and bright. You are always in the middle of some amazing project. You look good in a low maintenance sort of way. You do the minimum required to be attractive. You are moved by romance and love. You are optimistic about people, and you love hearing about happy endings.
