Me: That's so cool. The pigs' eyes are blinking!

Child: His eyes aren't blinking.

Me: Are you kidding? He's Mike Holmes. He doesn't need to blink.

*contented sigh*

Have I told you how much I'm loving my new job? It's exhausting and challenging and WONDERFUL! I can't believe my good fortune to be working there.

You Are an Intrapersonal Learner

Your mantra: To thy own self be true.

Intrapersonal intelligence has been said to be the road to achievement, learning, and personal satisfaction. You are connected to who you are and how you feel, and you know your own limits and abilities. You often set goals for yourself, self-manage, and reflect on results.

Those with intrapersonal intelligence do well in careers where self-management is important, such as being a writer, a teacher, a counselor, a police officer, or a pilot.

Tips for the way you learn:

  • Study alone in a comfortable yet quiet environment.
  • Set goals for yourself, and monitor your progress regularly.
  • Reflect on what you have learned, and think through new material.
  • Create a connection between new material and subjects you already know, and gain understanding by finding their similarities.
Discover your learning style!

Not a good day


(via: Print Liberation)

Yesterday morning on my way to work I was in a car accident.

No one was hurt, but the truck that clipped me took the back end off my car... My car that replaced my other car... You know, the one that was totalled when I got rear-ended 18 months ago.

Yeah, I guess I'm just lucky that way.

Clueless


(via: Savage Chickens)

Over the holidays we gave Child The Boardgame Remix Kit and she made us play Zombie Clue. It was delightful.

Child learned a new game.

And I learned that I am incapable of learning a new game.

I never thought I would say something like this, but when I grow up I want to be a Barbie girl.

It's Cee-Lo Green's F**k You!



Except it's the tame Forget You version ... from Glee ... sung by Gwyneth Paltrow.

And it's in there pretty damn deep.

I deserved that

Me: You know, you're kinda cute ... when you don't talk.

Child: You too.
