Can it be?

Rock, Paper, Scissors… Oh My!

My sister-in-law had this neat little on-line “personality” test on her web site today. YIKES! Can it be that all my work to soften the edges of my Type-A personality over the years has been for naught?


You Are Rock


Powerful and overbearing, you intimidate people with your presence.
People know they can’t push you around, and they respect that.
Deep down, you are calm, confident, and unmovable.
You take everything pretty seriously, and you think deeply about all aspects of your life.
You tend to feel smothered by paper people.
You don’t mind crushing the spirit of a scissors person.
When you fight, you: Use all of your strength.
If someone makes you mad: You’re likely to throw something at them.

This last part is totally not true! I haven’t thrown anything in years. And I’m not a spirit crusher!!

Everything in the sink….

Those who know the real me know how I adore bathing a baby in the sink. It could be anybody’s baby. Admitedly I usually wait until they can sit unassisted and are about 6 months old. The last baby I got to bath in this manner was my niece, Piper. That was until last Saturday.

This past weekend we made the pilgrimage to Roxboro, North Carolina, to visit Mark’s parents. The real reason for the visit was so that the boys could all attend the NC State game, but based on the outcome of that we aren’t discussing it at this point.

Knowing that space in the car was precious and limited, I did not take a “baby bath tub”. I bathed Claire just prior to the trip and expected that we could make it two days without a bath. Not so!! When it became unavoidable, I had no alternatives other than the kitchen or bathroom sink areas. After thorough examination, I opted for the hall bathroom. As you can see, Claire fit nicely in the sink and was able to comfortably recline on a folded towel.

She even seemed to enjoy it. She adores bath time and warm running water. What fun!!!
