Chances are ’cause I wear a silly grin…
Winter is upon us. Well, maybe not the full blown freeze your patootie off type of winter, but there is snow and snow = winter which = brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I was born and raised in IL and lived in IA for a few years, but I still dislike the cold. I don’t hate it enough to want to pack my bags and go anywhere. I just dislike it enough to want to complain about it.
However, in the spirit of the cold, I have added a new feature to the site (I’m trying to be more fun, remember…). If you direct your attention to the left side bar you will notice the Yeti Sports section directly under the archives (unless I move it later). They have a lot more games at their website, but these three are strangely addictive. Yes, I do believe abusing penguins is wrong, but if you listen carefully, I think they are all having fun playing together (turn up the volume). So far, my best tonight is:
Penguin Batting: 283.7 (worst is 0, swing and a miss!)
Orca Slap: 60.9 (worst is 0, I missed…a lot)
Seal Bounce: Best: 278.25 (worst is 0, I tossed him down in the water)
If you have any issues, make sure you read the directions. I was doing it wrong on the Orca Slap for a while.
I also saw this quiz on this really cool person’s blog and thought I’d post it here.
You’re a purple squirrel. The rarest of them all.
You’re an individual and have your own way of
squirrel life. You know what you like and
aren’t afraid to show it. While the other
squirrels are packing away muffins…your
chowing on a cinnamon bun. “Life’s a
game, and there’s no reason to get angry over a
game.” That’s your wicked sick motto.
If you were a squirrel, what color would you be?

Purple is my color. If I had a lightsaber, it would be purple. Oprah was on Letterman tonight and do you know which color they were promoting all night? Purple. Favorite Kool-Aid flavor? Purple (I know, purple is a color, not a flavor…ok, in that case give me orange!) In fact here is a Purple Profile I just found online from the Passion for Purple Page.
You are a purple person if:
You are imaginative, sensitive,
artistic and sophisticated.
You have noble ideals and a keen
appreciation of the cultural.
You are alert, demanding, foresighted,
confident, resourceful,spontaneous
and highly independent
You take delight in the beautiful,
the gracious, the sensitive, but
maintain an attitude of
critical appraisal.
In love you seek to attain a magical
quality and refuse to settle
for anything less.
You refuse to be “swept-off your
feet” unless genuineness and
integrity can be absolutely
ascertained.
You are active in the support of
things you believe in, and are
concerned with the pursuit of
truth and other human values.
You take chances and believe
that you must do so to make
the most of what life has to offer.
Purple is an exclusive color,
mystical in quality, blending
the two extremes of the spectrum,
red and blue. Traditionally, purple
represents splendor, dignity,
royalty, rank, and wealth.
Purple is a unique color, and it
is a truly unique individual
who holds it dear.

My favorite shade of Purple is Violet which means I am:
“Self-assured and dependable, you have a strong sense of character, and you possess a playful streak that makes you an amusing companion.”
I do think that they both describe me somewhat. 
Anyway, I just finished some very light cleaning and think I should mosey into bed. I’ve had kind of a rough week but am feeling quite a bit better now. Tomorrow (well, today actually) is Friday which means this week is ALMOST OVER! Wheeeee!
Sorry for the silliness tonight. It happens.
Be seeing you…
