Hi All, So, ok, lots going on here...1. Kids birthday party is tomorrow and I am sick with a bad cold :wacko: ... I usually make their birthday cake at home and decorate it since I used to be a cake decorator and I make lots of food. I have that Italian trait I guess, the need to way overcook and to feed everyone. So, instead I am buying a cake from my store and not cooking an insane amount of food, but I am feeling guilty about it.2. Tony (little brother who is off to college) is home for the weekend for the party cause I told him he was coming, I can do that cause I am really Mom too... but I haven't seen him all weekend. He messaged me the other afternoon to ask me what type of flowers he should send to this girl. So I ask him for what occasion, like birthday, congratulations, what? And he casually just says 'to tell her I love her'!! WHAT!!! I mean I have only occasionaly heard anything about this girl, and now he is 5 hours away at school, so that was a shocker. But I helped him pick out some nice roses and he was going to have them delivered to her at her high school... major points for him there cause then all her friends will get to see them... girls are funny that way.3. So Will, who as of late has been my Saturday night chat pal, since he is so otherwise occupied during the week, asked me to take a quiz thing on the net and the findings were unbelievably accurate really. Anyway, this was a personality quiz, and it says that I am Extraverted Sensing Feeling Judging... so here is what it said... in short form...All else being equal, ESFJs enjoy being in charge. They see problems clearly and delegate easily, work hard and play with zest. Totally true, self diagnosed control freak... born leader.ESFJs are easily wounded. And when wounded, their emotions will not be contained. They by nature "wear their hearts on their sleeves". Soooooooo true, especially in my case. Like yesterday I was talking to a friend, a new one, and he said some things to me that had me ending up in tears... not his fault, my deal totally cause I have this affliction, but I tried sooooooooo hard to keep my feelings out of it and not make him feel guilty about decisions he needs to make for his own life and happiness. Anyway, things seem ok for now, so that makes it all worth it I guess.Strong, contradictory forces consume the ESFJ. Their sense of right and wrong wrestles with an overwhelming rescuing, 'mothering' drive. Ok, well any of you who have ever talked to me know this is true about me...Very interesting really... if anyone is interested here is the place to go take the quiz. http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes1.htm4. So, last but definately not least, I have to say that in the few months that I have been here, I have made some amazing friends... I have two new little brothers (Davey and Chris) to replace the one I have that has went off to college, and I really want to say to a certain someone... No matter what, your happiness is the most important thing, I want you to make decisions that will benefit you and help to get you what you want out of life and I want you to be happy, no matter what that means about our relationship... but I really do think you are an amazing, beautiful person who has something great to contribute to this world and so I would be so lucky to have you contribute to mine. Also, thanks to my loyal pal, you know who you are...5. Official apology to John/Valentin for complaining about my being sick... only small potatoes compared to you I'm sure. Now then, that is all...Hugs to everyone, two for Chris, at least, more when necesary... Vivian
