Tada!
Yep, I know, I'm as stunned as you are. Posting twice within a week? Wow.
I went to Mom's family reunion this past weekend. It was ..nice. Very nice to see all the family I hadn't seen since the wedding, or before. Not so nice chasing Pinnie around all day. I didn't get a sunburn (yay!) but AW did (haha!).
That night, AW, Heather and I shared a motel room. Man, that room was like walking back in time. Honestly? It looked like the owners had dismantled and gutted several RVs and trailer homes from the '50s and used the parts to build the motel. The walls were (in no specific order) painted panelling, unpainted panelling and plastic, immatation drywall. The ceilings were that plastic tongue and groove stuff they put in campers. We had two smoke detectors - do they know something we don't? There were places in the floor where it.. well, wasn't floored; it was like stepping on a sponge. The "air conditioning" was an oscillating fan by the window. The bed linens were stained with age, although obviously well laundered and fresh smelling. The mattresses, I must admit, were very comfortable. The room smelled.. well, musty and old. And, to top it all off, our 'Continental Breakfast' consisted of a muffin and a bottle of juice. Wow. Definitely a no-star place to stay, but when you're in Latchford, ON, I guess that's the best you can get. Yikes. I'm just glad we were only there for one night.
Righto, on to the quizes:
I stole this from GreyLadyBast. It's not too far off the mark. Much fun.

Your Room
The Window: Your Attitude
Your choice of the forest reveals a person who is lush, verdant and fertile. You are complex. At times serene and tranquil, you provide an atmosphere of relaxation and retreat which is a very powerful magnet. But you are not perfect. You habitually needle people. In your youth you swayed to the hot, pulsing beat of "Light my Fire" (despite the danger it posed to yourself, friends and family). Frequent anti-fire lectures by Smokey the Bear fell on deaf ears. With greater maturity you can now see the forest for the trees. Success for you now may be better defined as a branch office and an oak desktop. Conversely you may be hiding a secret desire to dress as a girl and sing the Monty Python song, "I'm a lumberjack." Whatever -- you know the ultimate truth "No tree grows to the sky."
The Music: Your Lover
Your love ranges from the passion of Beethoven to the delicate beauty of Pachebal. Your relationship is based on an enduring trust and classical balance that helps you both rise to the highest level of understanding.
The Pictures: Your Relationships
Revealing a disciplined personality with multiple friends and family of importance to its psyche. You are one who strives to display affection without syrupy sentiment manifesting emotion in a cool, detached manner.
The Garbage: Your Problems
Problems come and go in your life but they do not cause you undue stress. You relax in the knowledge that you have an enduring, attractive and stylish response to the detritus of life. Your supreme confidence frees you from convention. Problems need not be hidden from sight but rather are handled in a transparent, translucent and effortless manner. You are on your way to achieving guru status for your wise handling of life's problems.
The Clock: Your Future
Your future is clearly laid out for you. You attack each day with a no-nonsense business attitude. Your cool, streamlined demeanor may lead people to think you are aloof, but you prefer to view yourself as eminently practical with a clear, warm face that everyone can read easily. And then you zone out.
Cor blimey, I taste like Tea.
I am a subtle flavour, quiet and polite, gentle, almost ambient. My presence in crowds will often go unnoticed. Best not to spill me on your clothes though, I can leave a nasty stain. What Flavour Are You?
