What Kind of City Dweller are You?
| November 30, 2009 | Posted by thatgrrl under Uncategorized |
You Are a Hip and Artsy City Dweller |
 You love that the city is always changing, and you’re always on top of the latest trends. You don’t try to deliberately keep up, you’re just naturally curious. And because of your curiosity, you discover hidden gems just before they get popular. You truly love the city, and you’re inspired by the urban landscape every day. Living in the middle of the hustle and bustle keeps you creative. Even if you aren’t an artist, you can’t help but take pictures, write, make art, or play music. All of the energy around you is contagious! |
You Belong in Paris |
 You enjoy all that life has to offer, and you can appreciate the fine tastes and sites of Paris. You’re the perfect person to wander the streets of Paris aimlessly, enjoying architecture and a crepe. |
You Are Shy and Silent |
 You are thoughtful and contemplative. You enjoy spending time alone with your thoughts. You are very introverted. You generally prefer quiet time by yourself to most social interactions. Money is very important to you. You like to have lots of nice things… and you don’t care if you’re being greedy. You are curious about ideas. If you had the means, you’d like to explore the whole world. |
Your City is Moscow |
 You are fast moving and quick changing. You aren’t exactly sure who you are right now or who you’ll end up being. You have a rich, complicated past, and an exotic appeal that takes a person’s breath away. You are naturally stylish and classy, even if it’s a bit of an illusion. You crave true wealth, power, and glamour. You love adventure and risk. You are a natural gambler and charmer. You are often very lucky, but sometimes your luck does run out. |
You Are the Suburbs |
 You’ve got a bad rap, but you think people are just jealous of how good you’ve got it. You prefer to live somewhere that’s clean, safe, and cheap. What could be wrong with that? You’re not going to apologize for liking chain restaurants and good schools. While you may not be as sophisticated as the city, you’re content with your life. Plus, there’s more to do in the suburbs than people think. Besides, you can visit the city anytime you’d like. And when your fun in town is done, you have a comfy suburban house to come home to. |
You Are Downtown |
 You’re a funky spirit that requires freedom to live. You need adventure, diversity, and great ethnic food. You don’t like anything stuffy. You prefer wacky and eclectic stuff. You’ll take a cheap slice of pizza over a four star restaurant any day! |
Part of my Charm
| November 30, 2009 | Posted by thatgrrl under Uncategorized |
Here I am, soon to be 45 and I can’t decide if I’m a witchy wise woman, a courtesan or a 1600′s era virgin, possible nun. I don’t know if I still blush but I feel self conscious and guilty every time I share my naughty thoughts, ideas and stories. As if that’s not something I should be doing. I would think at this age, after having been married, I would be beyond that. I guess not. Maybe it’s all just part of my charm.

It’s all Slinky and Slippery
| November 27, 2009 | Posted by thatgrrl under Uncategorized |
This meme comes from Where the Green Grass Grows.
1. If you could build a house anywhere, where would it be?
Still in Ontario (maybe BC if not Ontario) but on a high point of land overlooking the sea, or a really big body of water. Surrounded by fields of wildflowers and forests beyond that. Not too far from a city for book shopping, lattes and Internet connections.
2.What is your favorite article of clothing?
Nightgowns. Sometimes soft and warm and sometimes slinky and slippery.
3. Last C.D. you bought?
Jann Arden.
4. Where is your favorite place to be?
Exploring a really interesting old house with my camera and a coffee waiting out in the car.
5. Least favorite place to be?
Out in the cold, waiting for a bus. Though I’m sure there are worse places that is the first that came to my mind today.
6. Are you strongest in mind or body?
Probably not either one. Mind, maybe, only because it can outthink my body.
7. What time do you wake up?
Different every day.
8. Favorite kitchen appliance?
Refridgerator. What would we do without it? I never had to deal with an ice box or rely on a root cellar and hope for the best. I’m quite happy to leave those experiences to the older generations.
9. What instrument would you like to play?
Piano maybe.
10. Favorite color?
Deep, dark red.
11. Sports car of SUV?
Neither one. I’ve seen both with very poor and thoughtless drivers. I’d rather have a sedan type of car or a smart car – they’re so small they are kind of cute. Or a VW Bug, a combination of the sedan and smart car look.
12. Favorite children’s book?
The Raggedy Ann series. I remember them from when I was a kid.
13. Favorite season?
Spring. I would have said Winter, but that was before we moved to Barrie.
14. Least favorite chore?
Looking after other people. I need a break!
15. Favorite day?
Everyday that I’m feeling ok and still on the planet.
16. Favorite food?
That’s a long list. Lattes, cheesecake, ice cream, Chinese, Mexican, the salad bar…
17. Favorite drink?
Various coffees, right now it’s the Dolce latte.
18. Favorite word?
Free.
19. Favorite inspirational book?
Don’t have one.
20. Who would you like to play you in the movie of you life?
Winoa Ryder. She could do it mentally, but it would be hilarious to see her dressed up in a big enough fat suit to look like me.

He Better Build up that Momentum

This is my Frisky Horoscope today: You have nothing to lose when it comes to playing the game of love. No matter how crazy you want to be, as long as you set the pace in the way you want, you will get that someone to follow. However, be fair when setting the speed, because as it goes, some people do need to build up their momentum to be able to keep up with you.
Castles in the Air

Automatic Scans and Updates Really SUCK!
| November 19, 2009 | Posted by thatgrrl under Uncategorized |
Shampoo build up sucks. It makes me feel grungy even though I just had a shower and shampoo last night. I will have to find a different shampoo. I used to get a lovely citrus one for occasions such as this. I haven’t seen that one for years though. I miss the great smell of it.
I am tired but have a lot to get done. My computer, however, has decided now is a great time to do some fricking scan or update on something. Last time it did this (when I actually let it run on) I was waiting over an hour. Why do they think this is a good idea? Don’t they understand that when I turn on the computer it is for the purpose of doing something with it. Something other than sitting here yelling at it about sucking and being sucking slow.
Urrrrggghhhh!
