Stole this from Sable... Who knew I was so freakin' optimistic? I'll have to show this to naysayers... :o)

Sunny summer day Your forecast: 74°F, 37 mph wind, 17% chance of precipitation

What your score means: Please note that all variables are scaled to a range of 0 to 100. I'd like to present some of them differently, but the OkCupid system doesn't seem to allow independent scaling of variables. Category names are not meant to be taken literally. They are only weather patterns that match your score for the three variables. A person might be classified as "hurricane" because he/she is outgoing, athletic and compassionate; it does not relate to any destructive behavior by any means. Temperature measures your relationships with other fellow humans. A high temperature means you are caring and compassionate, and you tend to keep a personal touch with all your friends. A low temperature means you are more independent, and although you may like to hang out with your friends, personal life rarely enters the picture. Wind measures your level of energy. A low wind says you are usually calm and composed, somewhat introverted, and perhaps do not prefer intense physical activities. A high wind says you are energetic, extroverted, and tend to lead an active lifestyle. Higher wind can also mean greater ambitions in life. In extreme cases and especially when coupled with high precipitation, high wind might suggest a tendency toward violence. Precipitation measures your mood. A sunny sky, as you might guess, is associated with a bright, optimistic mood. People like this tend to be satisfied with their lives, and might take the effort to help make other people's lives better as well. A rainy sky would be the opposite: people in this category tend to be moody or depressed at times. So, What do you think? Do the scores seem fair to you? If not, you can help make it better by sending me a message with your comments, suggestions, rants, death threats, whatever. Otherwise, your vote is very much appreciated. Thanks!

Life's Simplest Pleasures

Sarafina's 10 of Life's Simplest Pleasures

I was tagged by the gorgeous GENNA to share my top 10 of life's simplest pleasures. I could come up with lots of guilty pleasures, but tried to stay clear of them ... Hoping that you are all having a great weekend. ENJOY!

1. Feeling a breeze against bare skin. It reminds me of being at the beach as a kid.
2. Taste/texture combinations on my tongue – cold & creamy, crunchy & salty rank highest for me. Since I have to be so careful about what I eat I savor all things I can, especially since I can’t eat anything that is not homemade or a whole food. I love cashews with dark chocolate & carrot sticks with sour cream and a hint of salt & pepper in it (not all at once, silly!)
3. Stargazing – blanket on the ground, looking up to a clear quiet sky of twinkling stars, that’s my idea of sheer magic.
4. Dancing – fast or slow… as long as I’m having fun with it… never took lessons. I was called Boogie Bride at my wedding. Love to dance. I got the bug from my dad who does a mean white man’s overbite (think Harry’s impression in When Harry Met Sally). I am, however, a MUCH better dancer than my dad… just don’t tell him.
5. Hugs – I am a very huggy person. My husband and I hug ALL the time and my family was a very huggy family… no wonder…
6. Water – To drink, to swim in… without water, I would be sunk… literally…
7. Humor – Whether it’s a sad or happy occasion I am usually the first to see the humor in it. I am hugely sarcastic and grew up with Monty Python and SNL (the good years, Gilda Radner (my hero)/John Belushi/Dan Ackroyd/Bill Murray)… in any case humor makes life much more livable.
8. Waking up near my loved ones – Before I got married I was asked by a family member if I could imagine waking up to my fiancés face everyday for the rest of my life. My reaction was a good one. I hate hearing him snore but love waking up next to him. Also, every morning when I get up I make sure to say hello to my other in-house loved one – my dog. I get down on the ground – no joke - and put my chin on my hands, once she opens her eyes, I say good morning. She usually rolls over for a belly rub right away. One of the best ways of waking up I know…
9. Feeding ducks at the park – one of my favorites pastimes as a kid. When my husband and I go on vacation we always try to find the local park and feed the ducks. I don’t do it so much in Texas since parks with ponds/lakes are few and far between…
10. Play – I love being a kid or just a carefree grownup. I agree with Genna on swings. I also love rollerskating (NOT blading), board games (favorites are Apples to Apples, Trivial Pursuit, & Scrabble), cards, & getting on an abandoned playground and just acting like a total nitwit.

I would like to tag Chloe, Green, Scribe, & Kain. YOU ARE IT!
