So here's a little quiz I came across in a email forward I recieved last week. Now normally I HATE forwards, but it caught my attnetion. And I was bored. Or perhaps I was looking for a distratction. Whatever. It's supposedly an "annual" review that you take in June - the halfway point of the year. It's designed to help you (the quiz-ee) reflect on the past six months and then set the tone for the remainder of the year. Suprisingly, I found it quite amusing. And since I have nothing else to write about, I thought I would post my answers just for kicks. So here it is, my life - up close and personal . . .

Last time you cried in front of someone:
Wow - I haven't cried in awhile. The last time would've been in front of Tanya, Chad, Mom or Dad, or James cause those are the only people that I'm that honest with. It was probably becasue I felt overwhelmed. I have felt like that alot this year.
