I sat here for a while thinking about what I should like to write about ... my first thought was a description of my home, but nothing clicked.  My second thought was something about how everything in this place squeaks, but, again, no real "fit".  Maybe it is because I am busy reading some pretty heavy novels alongside the writing of my latest curriculum guide.  It is going quite well, and I tend to forget about my blog fairly quickly at times like this.  So, for whatever reason, I began thinking about the colour brown and how I wondered if it could at all describe me.  So I did one of the things I like to do at moments like these ... I did a meme.  Brown wasn't me.  I am fairly certain, though, that if Neal did this meme, he would be some earthy colour for sure ... if not brown, then definitely green.

I came out very impressed with the "diagnosis" ... it was right on the money.  In fact, if I could choose to be anywhere today but here, I would choose to be in Berea, on the lawn, drinking a wonderful Organic Chai, with my sketch pad and one of my favourite violet pens (which I am sadly out of at present).  The boys would be at an art lesson with someone wonderful, and Neal and I would be sitting comfortably on a blanket, with our drinks and some yummy pita, and hummus and fresh veggies and fruit.  Hmphh ... and to think ... I do not even own anything of this colour other than a pretty set of sheets.

VIOLET

You surround yourself with art and music and are constantly driven to express yourself. You often daydream. You prefer honesty in your relationships and believe strongly in your personal morals.

BLUE "You give your love and friendship unconditionally. You enjoy long, thoughtful conversations rich in philosophy and spirituality. You are very loyal and intuitive."

Sounds nice. I'll take that. (Although my prohibitive conscience instantly called to mind at least a dozen times when I have failed miserably as a friend....)

to be violet, and was sure I would be, if only because purple is my favorite color...but, alas, much like bestsister, I am blue, which sounded pretty good to me. (although I don't know about being intuitive...or philosophical conversations...)

but that's what the quiz says I am:

"You are a very calm and contemplative person. Others are drawn to your peaceful, nurturing nature."

I didn't get green or brown.
I ended up violet, just like you.
Funny, I've never thought of myself as 'violet'.

BROWN

You are usually very straight-forward. You have a passive personality and enjoy nurturing those around you. You are very grounded and prefer to keep things simple and honest.
