This stinkin' two question test is astonishing. This describes me very closely. Probably the biggest thing that's not me is the part about not knowing what I want. I have to mull it over for awhile, but once I make a decision, I stick to it. I don't think I'm overly sensitive unless I'm very tired, but others might disagree. However, I won't open the floor for discussion on that one. *wink* This was fun.

Thanks for your comment. I'm glad to discover your artistic blog. The pictures on my sidebar are from an old calendar called The Reading Woman's Calendar. Other than the title of the calendar, I don't have any info. Not even the year. Sorry!

I am in awe of a mother who home schools!
