Restart
Just as with Chris Van Allsberg's space book, I'm holding up that card that says Reprogramming! Will start this blog back up soon.

and an update on a dark day about personality plus
Today, with a darker day, insomnia last night, etc. here's the profile. I wonder if it changes depending on mood, where you are in your life, that sort of thing.

personality plus
Thought this was interesting, I just read Florence Littauer's book, Personality Plus at Work. Really helpful (I hope!) in future work interactions. Very interesting book & I took the personality test online. The results follow.

long time no post
I have not posted for a while because I thought Blogger was being merged with another system. So it is good that it is still working. I would miss Blogger if it went away.
Update: I'm now a member of Goodreads.com thanks to Kate. It is a really fun place, because you can keep track of what you've read and when. I doubt I'll ever be able to put in all the books I've ever read in my lifetime, but it is great to be able to record what I'm currently reading, and to look for other books that I would like to read. With the local library's wifi, I should be able to bring up that list of 'to-reads' and look for books I'm interested in far more easily than using a list on a piece of paper.
Much is going well in life lately. Mom is doing so much better, and I am thankful. Dad celebrated his 80th birthday, and we all had fun. Got him a balloon, put the numbers 80 on his cake, which he thought was funny. Such great times with the family. Rosy continues to grow and get more beautiful every day. Annie is loving and affectionate. I think she enjoys having me home so much, just as much as Rosy does.

Surveys
I've been taking a lengthy survey online, and finally finished. Way too long, and they tended to ask the same question multiple times. One set of questions was about whether our household members went grocery shopping too and what they did when they went grocery shopping.
Too bad there's no space on the survey to write free-form responses. I could have said, "Rosy would go stand in the refrigerator for the meats section and snack out of the meat packs. She'd probably go for the most expensive steaks. Annie would probably go look for catnip.... "
Just momentarily interesting to think about what they would do if they went grocery shopping. Buy new kitty litter? buy canned meat? Tunafish? Probably.... I'm sure they would have fun.

spring update
Really need to get a pic of Rosy in her tracking harness up and will. Right now we've gone to one tracking test (and failed before the 3rd corner, so she started well, did well, got distracted by a coyote den and couldn't get refocused) and will be in another one soon.
Hot here today. daffodils & those little blue shooting stars are out now. Lots of raking in my future, but not today. Will be going home for Easter, to Wisconsin next weekend, and then Night for Notables (Michigan Notable Books) on the 17th. Should be exciting with the National Book Finalists speaking that day, David Small and Bonnie Jo Campbell.

Missed tracking test, will try again
I have another list of tracking tests to enter. Missed the one in Oak Ridge, due to hurting my back by falling in a hole. No, Rosy wasn't involved. :)
Nobody passed in Oak Ridge on Saturday the 13th, so maybe it is just as well. I think Rosy would have passed however... she's that good. We'll try again later. Meanwhile I'm making stuff for the week ahead and am very thankful that I do not have to go to work tomorrow. President's Day.
Rosy is just glad to have me home & all toherself. She had a great time yesterday, playing with two standard poodle puppies and is pretty tired today, still. Good girl, Rosy.
