Inspired by my Frustration

I'm still here and sewing. Lately I've had some frustrations, which inspired this piece, called T'd Off. It was in response to a T challege given by the quilting guild.

The sun isn't working.

I haven't seen the sun in awhile. The weather forecaster lady promised sun today and for a few days. It is sure dark around here.

The blog isn't working too well either. Blogger's computers keep tagging this blog as a spam blog. Excuuuuuuse me?

Well, they have me pegged, almost. I WAS from Wisconsin. I still live near a Great Lake. But people from Wisconsin don't say "pop," they say "soda" just like it says on the can. You have to move a bit west to hear "pop."

You Have a Choleric Temperament

You are a person of great enthusiasm - easily excited by many things. Unsatisfied by the ordinary, you are reaching for an epic, extraordinary life. You want the best. The best life. The best love. The best reputation. You posses a sharp and keen intellect. Your mind is your primary weapon. Strong willed, nothing can keep you down. Your energy can break down any wall. You're an instantly passionate person - and this passion gives you an intoxicating power over others. At your worst, you are a narcissist. Full of yourself and even proud of your faults. Stubborn and opinionated, you know what you think is right. End of discussion. A bit of a misanthrope, you often see others as weak, ignorant, and inferior.

What Temperment Are You?

You are Franklin!
