Extended Profile
The adorable heroic dog pictured above is Petunia Grace.

Here's more than you probably want to know about me:
-I can type all the elements of the Periodic Table from memory in less than 15 minutes (& the one I struggle to remember for the last 3 minutes is always different [might be Molybdenum one day and Gadolinium the next]).
-I'm a painfully shy Christian- raised Baptist by formerly Methodist parents - who married a Whiskeypalian.
-I'm myopic, and have never tried contact lenses.
-I'm a former member of the Palmetto State Teacher's Association and the Pee Dee Chapter of the International Reading Association.
-I eat nearly anything at least once.
-I belong to no political party- but I lean toward sanity.
-I tend to judge loud stupid people harshly, but silently.
-Once, I've heard it, I tend to remember it.
-I'm an arachniphobe who has terrifyingly realistic dreams about spiders. Unfortunately, I've seen them in my waking hours, too.
-I'm terrible with the spoken word- better when it comes to writing.
-Wish I were better at talking/ singing/ dancing/ playing the guitar/ dog training.
-Following my resignation from teaching PreK- 5th grade kids with learning differences in a rural, high poverty public school after 20 years, it's usually well past noon before I change out of my pajamas. The black and white Buffalo plaid cotton flannel ones are my most recent favorite. I can't stand anything tight around my waist- so these are two sizes too big (according to Mr. PetuniasMama anyway). I think they're just right.
-I drink a glass or two of dry, red wine/ cognac/ an attempted cocktail about once/every month or so.
-I cannot live without real coffee with real cream/ chocolate/ books/ music/ faith/ hope/ love.
-I drive a used '08 silver Civic without my late adorable stray mixed smiling doggie's face pointing out of the passenger window. I was somewhat devastated by her loss after nearly 14 years on March 27, 2015, but I continue to fight the good fight with gratitude/ hope.
-I'm not sure what I want to be when I grow up. Today, a blogger advocate for the free press. The day before yesterday, it was dessert critic. Yesterday, it was photo story editor.
-To me, it just doesn't get any better than memories of sitting on my front porch swing on a cool evening with Bach's Cello Suites wafting amongst the farm sounds and smells, with half a glass of Duckhorn Cabernet in one hand and my beloved Mr. PetuniasMama's hand in the other while staring at the oreo cows or nothing in particular, and rubbing my superhero doggie's tummy with one foot as the other hardly rocks the swing. (I miss her so).
- Oh yes, and, I'm a happy nonsmoker, who was once an unhappy smoker.

Here's what kind of soul I am:



You Are a Retrospective Soul





The most misunderstood of all the soul signs.
Sometimes you even have difficulty seeing yourself as who you are.
You are intense and desire perfection in every facet of your life.
You're best described as extremely idealistic, hardworking, and a survivor.

Great moments of insight and sensitivity come to you easily.
But if you aren't careful, you'll ignore these moments and repeat past mistakes.
For you, it is difficult to seperate the past from the present.
You will suceed once you overcome the disappoinments in life.

Souls you are most compatible with: Traveler Soul and Prophet Soul




According to this quiz, I belong in the following classic novel:
images.quizilla.com/---/1052777639_5680303.gif" border="0" alt="pandp">
I believe you belong in Pride and Prejudice; a
world of satire and true love. A world where
everything is crystal clear to the reader, and
yet where new things seem to be happening all
the time. You belong in a world where your
free-thought puts you above the silly masses,
and where bright eyes and intelligence are
enough to attract the arrogant
millionaire/prejudiced young woman of your
choice.

You're
the United Nations!

Most people think you're ineffective, but you are trying to
completely save the world from itself, so there's always going to be a long
way to go.  You're always the one trying to get friends to talk to each
other, enemies to talk to each other, anyone who can to just talk instead of
beating each other about the head and torso.  Sometimes it works and sometimes

it doesn't, and you get very schizophrenic as a result.  But your heart
is in the right place, and sometimes also in New York.

Supposedly I am this color:
images.quizilla.com/---/1057717326_CMyDocumentsBlue.gif" border="0" alt="HASH(0x8a39d8c)">
You're the color blue. You have the three c's in
life--you're cool, caring and confident.
Trustworthy and honest, people are naturally
attracted to you. You're unusually optimistic,
but that makes life all the better. You're an
imaginative person who loves sleeping and
dreaming. Hard-working and determined, you
excell in school. You're everybody's favorite,
and this is because you have this undefined
richness in your personality and attitude.
Mild-tempered and stable. Not to mention very
intelligent. Along with the fact that you're
conservative, you're worried about the
environment. So basically, you're a generous,
dependable and devoted--just the kind of person
everybody needs. Wouldn't it be great if
everybody in the world were like you?

Ravenclaw! Some might see you as a bit haughty, but
that's just because they lack the intellectual
capacity to be worthy of your presence. You see
little difference between enlightenment and
entertainment; learning experiences are
tremendously enjoyable for you. And remember,
kids: just because you're brilliant doesn't
mean you're studious!

How You Live Your Life

You have a good sense of self control and hate to show weakness.

You tend to avoid confrontation and stay away from sticky situations.

You tend to have one best friend you hang with, as opposed to many aquaintances.

are good at doing what you are told to do
and that, in itself, is a gift. It's not a

cuddling, but would never admit that to your
Guy friends who think you are okay but can't

always remember your name. Tapioca pudding
seems a bit extreme for a fellow such as
yerself, what with all the bumps and stuff.
It's a good thing ye be on a pirate ship,
otherwise, ye'd would be walkin' because ye be
positively pedestrian. Have a nice day.

You are a nice blend of cat and dog.

You're playful but not too needy. And you're friendly but careful.
