What type of personality are you?

I took this test that my friend Misty had on her blog. The test definitely hit the nail on the head with her as well as it did for me. I was surprised. It told Misty she should have been a nurse, which she is, GUESS what it told me................TEACHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will finish my teaching degree one day,... four classes and student teaching, not much too finish. Hopefully , when we make it back to TENNESSEE I will finish at MTSU.
This is my result from the test. Please tell me if this sounds like me , because I sure think it does!!!!


Andrea 's personality type:
Enthusiastic, idealistic and creative. Able to do almost anything that interests them. Great people skills. Need to live life in accordance with their inner values. Excited by new ideas, but bored with details. Open-minded and flexible, with a broad range of interests and abilities.
Careers that could fit Andrea includes:

CROCS! PLEASE TELL ME YOU DON'T OWN A PAIR

Crocs... who wears those things. I know I have a few friends that have them. If you are reading this post please forgive me and don't take it personal!!! I was in CROC HELL this weekend. I went to this cute little store down the street called Love Street. I walked in the cute little house and the next room was nothing but THIS....................

Can you believe all of these hideous shoes!! On my facebook page I am a member of the group, You look like a DumbA$$ for wearing crocs!! The group is something like that. They are a shame to women's shoes. Even guys, PLEASE don't wear these things, I DON'T CARE HOW COMFORTABLE THEY ARE, THEY SHOULD BE BANNED FOR ALL ETERNITY! If you look closely the shoe on top of the box, the black one. IT is a HIGH HEEL CROC! I nearly fainted .... that is a disgrace to the many sexy Stilettos I have in my closet. I have never in my life seen so many CROCS. There was even a smaller room just like this for kids. Again, it was CROC Hell!! BTW, I will forgive all my friends that a pair or two..... Love Yall!!!!

Rocky!!

This is my dog Rocky. He came with package when I got married. When Neil and I were dating , I honestly was a little scared off Rocky. I think it was because he growled at me once or twice. So, for those of you who don't know, I was bitten by a dog once in the face. I have a scare to prove it. So, maybe that is why I was a little nervous. Since Rocky has come to live with us he is my BUDDY now. He runs in circles when he see me coming, whines when I leave, and begs for me to pet him and give him treats! I let Rocky in our basement every once in a while so I can pet and love on him. He LOVES the couch. However, I have a hard time getting him to go back outside sometimes. He doesn't listen to me very well, but if Neil steps in he is off the couch and out the door. Neil was away on business for a couple of days this week. So, I let Rocky in for a few minutes which turned into longer than just a few. I couldn't get him up. He was not budging for nothing.

So, when I tried to get him off the couch by saying "Come on Rocky" about a gagillion times, I got this picture of him.

DO YOU SEE THIS... HE IS STICKING HIS TONGUE OUT AT ME! He wasn't going anywhere for a while. So I had to sit back and let him waller around on the couch for a while. I guess if you give it enough time they grow on you because I just let him enjoy himself even though it was my bedtime.

I saw the beauty!

Today Neil and I went to drop off some JUNK at the Goodwill. Well, a little secret of mine is that I enjoy going to the Goodwill. I like to look at other people's JUNK. As I was browsing the store, I came upon two topiaries. I thought to myself those would be so beautiful on my new buffet at Christmas. The bottoms were ugly. Just your basic terracotta look and a terrible hand made bow attached. I guess someone didn't see the potential in them like I did. Below is the top of the topiary, Perfect for Christmas.


Here is the bottoms. I am such a goof. I was so excited I didn't take a before picture of what it actually looked like.
Here is the terrible bow that was attached.
However, after a can of gold spray paint and removing the bow they look like this!


Aren't they pretty! I spent 4.50 for both topiaries and 4.00 for gold spray paint, 8.50, NOT TO SHABBY!!!

Out with the Old, In with the , RECYCLED!

Neil and I have been working on our house since we moved in in May. A few days after we bought the house I was staring at this very dated 50ish Light fixture. I told Neil we had to get a new one, this one was HIDEOUS! A new light fixture would have cost us around 200-250 dollars. I really didn't want to spend my money on a new one. After a little thought, my brain began to churn. I have watched HGTV so many times surely I could come up with something. BINGO! The light bulb went off. I told Neil I wanted to take it down and spray paint it black and get rid of the glass lamp shades. So, when the parents came down to help us move I told my dad I needed his help. Well, needless to say he said "Andrea, I don't know about that ! " He was definitely doubtful up my capability to make it look awesome. So, I wish I could zoom in more, I tried but it didn't work. I hope you can tell it has a brushed gold finished, YUCK!

BEFORE

After

Can you believe how AWESOME it turned out! I love it! It looks so good in our dining room. I love the lamp shades. RED is my favorite color.

Materials for a recycled light fixture

1. one can of FLAT black spray paint 3.00

2. 5 mini lamp shades appox 35.00

3. paper to wrap around the inside of the lights so that spray paint doesn't mess it up

4.one Super DAD to take it down and put it back up!

Total: appox 40.00

sure does beat 250.00

Stella Lovitt

We went to Chattanooga to meet Stella. She is so tiny and sweet.
She is beautiful and has a head of curly black hair. I am so happy that Amy and her family are closer to me than they have been in the past 7 years. We are exactly 2 hours apart. I am excited to be this close because I can be the Best Aunt Andie to Stella and Carson. Also, Amy's sister Janet had Isabella, Stella's cousin one week later. She is completely different than Stella. She is longer, blonde hair, and quieter. But they are both beautiful and precious!

Me and Baby Stella

Neil and Stella. She is quiet when you bounce her on the ball. Neil is getting his practice in!!

Big Brother Carson

Me, Stella on the left and Isabella on the right. See how different they are!
