^^^^Weekend MELTERS^^^^

Breckie, your post was cracking me up—you are really fitting in well here with your style of humor (as are the other newbie melties). I just re-took the personality test for the heck of it and indeed I am still an INFP but the P was still borderline (I have anal retentive moments so I guess I’m near J). I don’t know how I got that epiglottis disease, but I was a sickly kid in general. I had strep throat, ear infections, and bronchitis a lot, had spots of pneumonia a couple times, etc. It was not a germy house or anything since I was the only kid who was sickly like that so much. Usually I didn’t have anything too serious because I wasn’t hospitalized for any of them. I also managed to keep my tonsils (though sometimes I wonder if they shouldn’t have been removed) and never had tubes in my ears.

Peggie, you sound like me. I often imagine having confrontations with people and in my imagination I am really TOUGH. In real life, not so much. Once in a while I do get in a sort of stubborn and straight-talking mood and I will perhaps offend people (usually my siblings, actually—you should have seen my sister when I said something about how she’s always late—she was so shocked and offended, but it was just a fact. That woman is always very late to everything.) For non-siblings, I just offend when I deliver an opinion a little too vehemently—like saying I hate a certain movie that most people like or something. OK, now I’m just blathering.

Tneah, sorry about the roots trouble. I haven’t actually tried the roots color thing, but I always color out of a box. It just takes too long to do it at a salon for me. During the school year, Ewan is only in school for a total of 2 ½ hours, so put the time to color together with travel time to and from a salon, and it’s cutting it too close. I figure I might start getting professional color once he’s in elem. school. I’m very experienced at coloring my own hair, though. ;) I learned from my big sister who was a notorious hair-changer before I started. Hmm, ISFJ. I should put together that document of info on Melty Maidens and add personality types. :D

Hi all. I'm all done with my housework and ready to relax for the rest of the day. I have tomorrow off too. I love Sunday evening when I have Monday off. Let's see if I can catch up on some personals...

Tneah, no, my mom lives in Barre, VT. Tristan lives in Scranton though, close to Wilkes Barre. I'm more of a red wine gal than white, although if a food pairing calls for white, I'm there. I can't wait for next weekend and our trip to the Finger Lakes wineries. We've already got our tour mapped out. We've gone often enough that we know which ones to stop at and which to skip. What test? What's an ISFJ?

Peggie, I'm not sure I knew you had so many kids. You newer folks will have to forgive me if I get some of your stuff mixed up. I like the way you spelled Tayler. I bet it's a pain for her though. I know how everyone wants to spell Tristan and Greyor's names with the wrong vowels.

Leanne, LOL at the floating poop. I remember those days! I think we only had it happen once, but the panic that is causes is unforgettable. I didn't realize the director of the Ringer did Something About Mary too. We liked that movie. I don't mind raunchy if it's clever, you know what I mean?

Lainie, I ended up pulling out an ancient Cathe VHS - Step Works. I always make the mistake of thinking old = easy. Not true!

BG, another fellow birdwatcher! Yipee! I can identify pretty many of the local birds by calls too. It makes me a very lazy birder. If I hear it, I don't try as hard as I should to see it. I'm not much of a life-lister either. I love to see them, but I don't like to make a competition of it. Yes, Greyor and Emily live with us. I expect them to be around for a long time. Emily still has at least a year of school left. Her SO probably has 3 or more. And I'm not counting any wedding chickens until they are hatched.

Uh oh, I hear thunder. Time to shut down the computer. Then we're heading into town for pizza night. DD, DH and I decided that for the next three weeks we are all going to try to melt, since we are going to the beach. Maybe it will be easier for me then. But that doesn't start until tomorrow}(
 
Hello Melty Maidens!

Well, we just got back from Gospel Brunch at this place called Lips, San Diego's drag queen restaurant. Mike ended up getting a lap dance from a transvestite pregnant nun, who later turned out to be Cher in disguise. It was pretty hysterical!:D Now we're home for a few hours before meeting family to go to the much more sedate TGI Friday's restaurant. The "friend" at lunch was actually not super snarky today, so that was good. At one point, though, she and her hubby started going off on how snotty and horrible all the PhD's at their jobs are and how all PhD's are weird . . . and that was a bit uncomfortable. Ah, well.

I need to dig out my Myers Briggs test results, too, b/c I can't remember what I am! How funny that we're all a bunch of introverts, though!:)


So Robin and Breckie, have either of you read the short story "A White Heron" by Sarah Orne Jewett? It's a lovely story about nature and, as our expert birdwatchers, I think you'd both love it! Here's a link to it: http://www.facstaff.bucknell.edu/gcarr/19cUSWW/SOJ/AWH.html

Deb -- I missed saying "hi" to you this morning! Where have you been all weekend? Are the two K's keeping you busy? :)

Robin -- I was wondering when your trip to the winery was. You'll have so much fun! Yes, raunchy when clever is definitely good! I'm remembering that the one director is actually two: the Farrelly brothers. Tonight is pizza night with your MIL, right? Hope you enjoy!

Tneah -- Oh, CC is such a great term for the "friend"! In the name of sharing TMI, I also pee in the shower. I look at it as saving water since I'm not flushing the toilet. OK, I hope I didn't gross you ladies all out! I know -- isn't Clementine a cute name? My brother emailed me to say thanks for watching her, and he actually thanked us for "clemsitting," which I thought was too cute! Have you had a chance to see your nieces lately? I remember you said that you were close to one, and you loved to play dress-up with her. Oh no about your roots! Try that Rebecca woman at Beaucage! She's super sweet!

Peggie -- You are SOOOO funny! I love reading your smart arse comments! :) I've been adding in one extra day of KB after I do my regular split workouts for the week. Kara said that it's been working for her really well that way.

Breckie -- How cool about working for an ornithologist! That is so neat! Oh yes, it wasn't the same without you here yesterday! Of course, we all missed you! I love reading your posts b/c they're always so much fun! Ah, thanks for letting me vent! I've actually been using my Bach's Flower Remedy and LOTS of cardio to help with stress . . . and it sort of seems to be working! You're such a sweetie for putting up your dukes for me so often!

Lainie -- How was your walk and the street fair? Did you make it to the library? Yes, the floating poop was interesting!


OK, gotta go wrap Mike's b-day gifts. I'll try to check back in later on, and I hope you're all having wonderful afternoons! Love ya' gals!

:*
 
Oh, I took the on-line test that Lainie posted, and I'm an INFJ. I think that's what the longer version told me, too. Interesting stuff! :)
 
Hi all,

Sorry not to be here this weekend.. but we were super busy with going to my DF's to take him to dinner last night and trying to get some work done around here. DH and I spent about an hour in the perennial bed weeding, gave dogs baths, did laundry etc etc. This is the first time I have sat down to read what you all have been up to all weekend.

Shelly:
I am sure you SO must have been pretty fed up to quit his job. I hear you on the stress with house stuff. When someone mentions. "those 3 litte words"...mine are. "PUT IT AWAY!"

Robin:
LOve the pics of the stream..DH would drool to be at that place!

Tneah:
You mentioned root stuff...did anyone ever try "Revlon's Root Perfect"? it is awesome! and so easy to use. I get my roots done every 6 weeks at the salon, and use this at the 3 week mark just for the line of gray at the part and temples... it matches perfectly too.
It sounds like your DH is getting closer to buying a permanent House Boat.. what kind of boat is he looking at? love you bike by the way. I bet you look marvelous with that "tan"!

Leanne:
I would be vacuuming or working out to loud music at 5:00 am if I were you! }( ..glad you had fun with your niece! Yes.. the "Double K's" are a handfull!

Lainie"
Love the faucet! Good for you for resisting that donut!

BG:
You little sneak you!

Peggie:
How was the dinner for your MOM?

Linda:
Welcome!:D

Kristi:
Welcome back from the conference... can you post your meals that you eat on the Abs Diet? does it work to get you back on track?

I will be back in the am to hopefully start us off and to get all caught up with you lovely Melting Ladies!

Deb
 
Leanne, *winks* see? I knew I loved ya for some reason, spoken from a fellow "shower pee-er"...:7 That lap dance sounds hilarious! You and DH have a whole other wild side sister...;) I love transvestites, actually anyone who is considered "different and unusual"I guess I have always felt that way so I sorta "click" with these types.:) "Clemisitting", that is adorable...nope, have not seen Emma my little shadow in over a year, maybe soon though, she is such a doll. Wow, cannot believe you remembered!

Robin, have fun at the pizza place!:9 Mondays are great days for new starts, I will be right there with ya tomorrow, nice that DH wants to melt with you. My DH stated he is on his diet, and then proceeded to scarf on fries and coleslaw at lunch....he could have chosen a veggie side dish, but I bite my lip, I hate being the "food police".
But I will keep the junk out off the boat to help him out in a subtle manner.;)

Whatzzzup ladies??:p

We had a nice lunch by the water at a place called Anthony's Fish Market. I love cippiono, so ordered that, it was slightly disappointing as it appeared to be very oily for some reason. I ate the seafood out of it, and skipped the sauce it was in, and of course, they had sourdough (my fave) and butter, I had some, not alot but two pieces with a pat of butter. :9 Serious biz though, this week I am watching those starches, which last week I ate like a fiend, it makes a difference, will up the protein too, I did not eat enough of it last week, part of why I craved the starches and fats...anyway, enough dietary doldrums..hope everyone is having a fabulous evening.

Deb, ya sneaked in on me!
 
Hey kittens -

Back from the cook out at our friends. Holy crap, I'm glad it wasn't at my house. There was about a million kids running in and out of the pools and hot tub. I don't envy Marianne for having to clean it all up.

The dinner with my mom was fine. We went to the place where they have the catfish tacos. They weren't as good this time. Isn't that the way it always goes.

Robin - We spelled Tayler's name with an e because our last name, Larsen, is with an e. I know, we are kind of strange. BTW, we have tons of birds in our yard. I have seen cardinals, blue jays, thrashers, blue birds, grossbeaks, finches, robins, and a whole bunch more that I can't think of right now.

Leanne and Tneah - I'm a shower pee-er too. Who doesn't.

Leanne - that lap dance does sound quite funny. Maybe BIL could get a job there.

Hey everyone else, hope your day is going well. I am going to go take that personality test now. I am dying to find out what I am.
 
Okay - I found out what I am - (drum roll please)

I am an ISTJ - I am a moderately expressed introvert and I am super dependable (I could have told you that. Good, at least I know what I am now.
 
I'm now an INFJ. I think, like Lainie though, I was dangerously close to J instead of P when I took it first (the official longer version, but that was wayyyyy bunches of sleeps ago). This time I was close too, so perhaps I'm and INF(.5J.5P). :7

Does this mean I have multiple personalities? Sweet. }(
