Well, this isn't a huge surprise....

While writing and posting my blogs this evening, I read some friends' blogs. Then, it seemed that a meme thing would be fun to do. The character result didn't surprise me (or my dear husband), but the description did. I am happy, really. Antisocial, yes, but happy!

Your result for The Deep and Meaningful Winnie-The-Pooh Character Test...

Eeyore


"Do you know what A means, little Piglet?"

"No, Eeyore, I don't."

"It means Learning, it means Education, it means all
the things that you and Pooh haven't got. That's what A means."

"Oh," said Piglet again. "I mean, does it?" he
explained quickly.

"I'm telling you. People come and go in this Forest,
and they say, 'It's only Eeyore, so it doesn't count.' They
walk to and fro saying 'Ha ha!' But do they know anything about
A? They don't. It's just three sticks to them. But to the
Educated--mark this, little Piglet--to the Educated, not
meaning Poohs and Piglets, it's a great and glorious A.

You scored as Eeyore!

ABOUT EEYORE: Eeyore lives in his own thistley corner of the forest and wonders why people don't come to visit him more often. He is master of the Guilt Trip, and is always gently forgiving his visitors for neglecting him. Eeyore considers himself to be smarter than the other inhabitants of the Hundred Acre Wood, and is often exasperated by their habit of having adventures and general merriment.

WHAT THIS SAYS ABOUT YOU: You are an anxious person, and you tend to expect the worst. Your friends find you somewhat cynical at times, because you have found that it is best to expect disappointment. You often feel unappreciated by the people you work with, but you rarely actually try and do anything to change that fact.

Your close friends admire you more than you think they do. They wish that you would learn to stop worrying so much and actually start trying to fix what is bothering you. If something is making you unhappy... change it!

National Women's History Month Program


On March 12, I attended the Treasury Department's National Women's History Month Program, which was a presentation by Dr. Lise Van Susteren. (Yes she is Greta's sister, but what I found to be more interesting is that her father was a judge in Wisconsin.) Dr. Van Susteren was trained by Al Gore to give An Inconvenient Truth type lectures to help teach people what they can do to help the environment. After the presentation, I got to meet her and shake her hand while some of my co-workers asked follow up questions about her talk.

Snow Day!


March entered with a snowstorm that caught us quite off guard. A friend visited us before a business meeting, and that night, we got hit with the most snow that I have seen here so far. His meeting was postponed; the government had a liberal-leave policy day, and so I took annual leave; Ken stayed home as well; and so we got an extra day to hang out and catch up (with some working-from-the- apartment time interspersed). The top picture was from the Sunday night before all the snow, though. We all had our laptops out checking the forecast and coming to the realization that none of us were going anywhere on Monday.
