Oh No, I’ve Become a L-Word!

I knew it was probably true, but preferred not to think about it.  Last time I gathered with some family friends around the big eat-good-food-while-we-debate-late-into-the-night table, yammering about this and that (topics ranging from global warming to Bush to the Iraq war to Israel to welfare to illegal immigrants to health care to abortion, etc, [...]

I’m Thankful… For Non-Meme Posts

I’m technically anti-meme because I, well, hate them.  It seems like you’re not allowed to blog if you hate meme’s, but I do.  In fact, in a moment of honest confession, I will share that I don’t even read meme’s if you do them.  I see “Meme” and my eyes roll to the back of my [...]

Myers-Briggs

I am an ENTP (also described here).  Usually.  Sometimes I come out an ENTJ (also described here).  So I’m really close to one or the other. Can there be an ENT-P/J?   My husband is an INTJ (or here), text-book case (and, yes, we are very much opposites).
