Here is the basics: For a more in depth analysis, I suggest you look up the Color Code, and take a more intensive test.

BLUE MOTIVE: Intimacy

BLUE NEEDS: To be good (morally), To be understood, To be appreciated, Acceptance.

BLUE WANTS: To reveal insecurities, Quality, Autonomy, Secuirity.

SUMMARY: Blues are motivated by altruism. They love to do nice things for others. they look for opportunites to give up something in order to bring another person happiness. selflessness rather than selfishness is their guiding philosophy. Blues seek intimacy. They want to be loved and to love. A true blue will sacrifice a successful career to improve an important relationship. Blues crave being understood. They are gratified when they are listened to, when they feel understood and appreciated. Blues may have thier hearts broken more than most people, but they also spend much more time in love. Blues are directed by a strong moral conscience. They have a moral code that guides them in their decision making, their value judgements, and their leisure time. A blue would rather lose than cheat. Ethically, blues are people who should be in positions of power, but seldom are.

patience is a virtue

Ok..so I have been patient with my boss for about 3-4 months now...waiting for him to let me work days..and FINALLY! I get to work days about 2/3 of the time (not complaining..I will take what I can get). The way my schedule works is that I am prescheduled 4 days a month (these will stay nights for now) and then I schedule myself for the rest (these will be days)! I am really excited and last week was the first time in 5 1/2 months that I was able to work a day shift, and while it was hectic and stressful it was SO much better than my worse night shift. The pace is so much faster and it is easier for me to stay focused. I am really happy that my patience paid off, not that I wasn't super frustrated or didn't look for another job or anything. ;) Also, I chatted wtih my boss about going back to school, and the hospital offers tuition reimbursement, so I believe that I am going to stay here and take advantage of the low tuition costs at BYU (for the rest of my basics) and the reimubursement program. Now if the patience I so brillantly displayed in this instance would appear for all the other aspects of my life (more specifically BOYS) than things will be just peachy! :) I enourage those of you out there who do not do so, to please blog..or call me!!

the love of a good book

I am an avid reader for those of you who don't know me AT ALL! (jk) I recently became addicting to reading books by the author Phillipa Gregory, I at first became entranced because of a movie called 'The Other Boleyn Girl' and found at the in fact, it was a book by aforementioned author. I sought it out at the Provo City Library, they in fact did not have, so I was forced, forced I tell you to get another book entitled 'The Virgin's Lover' which much to my delight is about Queen Elizabeth I (I am a bit of a fan of hers), and it was fabulous. I love the way Ms. Gregory combines history with such romance and suspense. Her writing is wonderful and puts you right there, you feel as if you are back in old England and mixed up in the tumult of the battle for reform from the catholic church. So thrilling it is to read such a book. I have since read 'The Boleyn Inheritance' and just this evening (or perhaps more accurately described as the wee hours of the morning) finished reading 'A Respectable Trade.' Both books were fantastic! The Boleyn Inheritance focuses on the lives of Anne of Cleves, Katherine Howard and Jane Boleyn and the downfall and madness of King Henry. A Respectable Trade is a book about the early days of slave trading in England. The reason for my post was not to become a spokesperson for Phillipa Gregory (though it may seem like it) but instead to talk about the bittersweet feeling I felt about an hour before I finished it. I had to get up to take care of my patient (I know most people think I do nothing at work, but truly I do give my SLEEPING patients the care they need) and sat down to pull out my bookmark only to note that I was almost finished. Here I am, enthralled in the story, not wanting to put it down...you know the feeling...when nothing else matters BUT finishing the book..when you will abandon all else in your life (sleep most notably, but food, family, friends, etc.) just to find out what is going to happen..and then it hits me. It's going to be over. Over. I was so disappointed (not in the story) but just knowing that I was not going to be able to be companion of these characters along their journey. Now mind you, I desperately wanted to finish the book, just not yet. I however, could not help myself, and sit here now...reflecting on this bittersweet feeling...thinking maybe I should have saved some of the story for later. Not so, as I will now have to journey back to the library to find another book to take me on an adventure. *sigh* Or I could just blog some more? Nah... Just wanted to share my thoughts. Have to get back to the grind...

give thanks for the farmers

So I recently discovered the Sunflowers Farmers Market..and am in love with it! I don't buy all my groceries there, as I am not really all that into eating strictly organic..but there produce and meat are fabulously priced and I am so excited. I took an online quiz to see what kind of eater I am..to then determine how I needed to change my diet (note: i did NOT say go on a diet..just to change it..make it better as it were), and was told that I do not eat enough fruity things. After a late evening journey to the farmers market with some friends I proceeded to buy blueberries, blackberries (I ate the whole container in one sitting) and oranges along with some local chocolate milk all for the staggering price of five dollars. I went again today and was so pleased with the selection and price once again. I was able to purchase oranges, apples, strawberries, and grapes all for about 8 dollars. Plus, I could get any kind of cheese I wanted and a wonderful selection of veggies (the veggies are the next step, one thing at a time people!!). I am sure this post was just thrilling for you..but I needed to let you all know how grateful I am for the farmers of the world! Take care and if possible..buy local!
