What color?


You Are Emerald Green


Deep and mysterious, it often seems like no one truly gets you.
Inside, you are very emotional and moody – though you don’t let it show.

People usually have a strong reaction to you… profound love or deep hate.

But you can even get those who hate you to come around. There’s something naturally harmonious about you.

What Color Green Are You?


You Are Red Orange


You are a very genuine person, although it takes a while for you to show the true you.
A bit introverted, you desire respect and affection from those close to you.You are quite empathetic, and you have a true concern for the well being of others.

Many people have warm, heartfelt memories of you – even if you don’t remember them well.

What Color Red Are You?


You Are Indigo


Of all the shades of blue, you are the most funky, unique, and independent.
Expressing yourself and taking a leap of faith has always been easy for you.

Unpacking/Hayfever/Library Sale/Kookiejar

It’s not been a fun week until today. I’ve been moving cross-country, unpacking, and fighting hayfever all week.

But today was different. It was actually fun. Not only did I get some great books for 50 cents each at the Omaha library book sale, I also got to meet and have lunch with Kookiejar! We grabbed our books and then headed out to Panera to eat. That was a treat because I don’t get to eat at Panera very often–and with such good company. We talked books, blogging, and motherhood, to name a few. A very fun and exciting day.
