10. Earth Day was this week. That’s a damn good reason.
9. A few cover reveals this week. Gena Showalter’s June release, Temptation in Shadows. Go to Heroes & Heartbreakers for more information.
And Festive in Death, releasing September 9.

7. I mean – It IS almost summer. And this IS the top ten. So let’s all stare at the Austrian diver, Constantin Blaha. Is it time for the summer olympics yet????
6. Johnny Depp and his cat twin.
Ryan Gosling and his…
Is anyone else purring? I feel like I should pose my cat into someone today… (link)
4. A couple of days ago, my girlfriend told me to take this personality test. I remember having to take the same test during high school for some class and how completely spot on the results are. So I took it again, and again was amazed at how accurate the results portray me. You should do it with a family member or significant other so you can analyze each other afterwards.
Note: After you take the test, go HERE (scroll down) to find the four letter personality result the test gave you. Don’t pay on the testing site to be analyzed.
My husband and I discussed our results over breakfast this morning. I’m a Nurturer. We got a laugh over “and are likely to be more interested in serving their partner than in their own personal satisfaction.” I’m SO selfless you guys! ;) If you take the test, tell me what you are in the comments.
3. zomg. A baby dwarf antelope, known as a Klipspringer was born at the Chicago Zoo last month. It will grow to be a whopping 24 pounds (that’s less than my pug weighs! *hangs head*). SOMEONE BUY ME THIS IMMEDIATELY.

1. We went on vacation to a big crack last week. *giggle* No, we went to Moab, Utah and fell in love. We did Arches National park and took a guided hike through the Fiery Furnace (where the above pic was taken). We also went to Canyonlands – and zomg. The views all felt so surreal. I survived the rapids rafting down the Colorado River and a hummer trip over petrified sand dunes. My courage was tested! But it was fun :) We can’t wait to go back. If you have a chance to head out that way – doooooooo it!!!
Have a great weekend everyone!



Took personality test. Said I was an ISFP. I’m supposedly very independent, fiercely resists all forms of control, introverted but at same time spontaneous, unpredictable, and charming. :) Heh. It’s a personality type most often found in artistic peeps.
I think that is you! :) You charm me every day.
I am ISTJ..I think that is what I got before, it’s always me
It’s good you are consistent. LOL
I’m a ESTJ (a guardian) friendly, upbeat, responsible, practical, dependable and not personally threatened by conflict or criticism. But on the other hand apparently I think I’m always right and need to be in charge all the time. Lol.
The “not personally threatened by conflict or criticism” is NEEDED in an online atmosphere :)
Jordin Tootoo has been a favourite for a long time, and an inspiration for many of my students. Dude has overcome tremendous odds, and despite some fierce on-ice behaviour he’s a stand-up guy. Someone write a romance novel about him already!
We totally need him as a romance hero!
ISTJ
100% introvert. Never would have guessed that. LOL
I too am an introvert. I really am in real life. :)
I got ISFJ-apparently highly introverted and sensative but I don’t use my intuition well and I judge more that rely on actual perception. I don’t know how accurate that is….though.
Great top ten and awesome picture in the crack.
I watched the hockey .gif like 17 times until I was almost teary! So adorable! What the heck was the player’s name though? TOOTOO???
Yes, Jordin Tootoo – here is a video from what happened (scroll down)
SO CUTE

INTJ – It’s pretty spot on.
Very interesting test I got INFJ which is a Protector. An I’m 89% introvert.
I’m an introvert too – you can protect me and I’ll nurture you ;)
BTW did you hear that Michael Phelps is out of retirement? I know how much you love your swimmers in their tight bathing suits ;)
YES! I’m following this closely. So excited for his return
The Scientist: 100% introvert. huh, never would have guessed that! *snort* Loved this under weakness: “May tend to respond to conflict with logic and reason, rather than the desired emotional support”. My immediate response was: Well, why come to me with a problem if you don’t want me to solve it? heehee.
LOOOVED the hockey gif <3
Haha – well we get enough emotional responses on the internet. Logic and reason is needed! :)
INTJ – the scientists. The same result I’ve gotten every time I’ve taken the test!
LOL – you are settled in life and are not changing :)
I’m also a Nurturer. After reading the description, I realize it’s pretty accurate.
Yep yep :)
ENTJ no surprise lol!!!
Oh good! I love how accurate this test can be
INTJ-Systems Builder & yes it’s scary accurate :-)
Glad you had fun on your trip. We just had my brother and his family stay with us on the last leg of their outback adventure. I was a little jealous :-) the next trip will be us visiting them so yay!
Coooool. This is the first time we had ever done anything like this – so looking forward to doing it again
I’m ISFJ and a nurturer. No big surprises there. The husband is ENFP, and both descriptions were pretty much spot-on about us.
Great picture and great adventure Mandi!
