Sooo....
In case you noticed the quick mention two previous posts ago, something happened in my life over the last year.
I found and married a man far better than Henry Tilney himself.
A new direction for my Happily Ever After has come about.
And I am loving every bit of it.

Enneagram - for future research
I am ready to start exploring another Personality test. So I am posting my results from two different free online tests.
From 9types.com -
Your highest score will indicate you basic type, or it will be among the top 2-3 scores. You have answered all the questions -- terrific!
From eclecticenergies.com -
I quickly read some basic summaries of Types 4 and 2 from 9types.com. Glanced at Type 1. Definitely more to read up on and contemplate. Here are links to read up on them.

Type 8
Type 9
For sure, it is Interesting!

You are most likely a type 2.
Taking wings into account, you seem to be a 2w1.

No personality test is completely accurate. Although several measures were taken to make this test as accurate as possible, there's always a chance that you are not typed correctly by it. Therefore, when deciding which Enneagram type and wing you are, you might also want to consider the types with the highest test scores on the lists below.
(Note that your lowest scores may be omitted.)

Huh.
Well.

I, well, I...
April 2009
I guess things do change.

That and it probably helped that I read the book and understood more about each love language. The revelation of this recent result actually makes quite a bit of sense, though.

Darcy List
This came up in my Facebook memories. And I realized it was the perfect post to be on this blog. So I am reposting.
March 24, 2015
March 24, 2015
Sorry, my preferences and I don't agree with this line up. My order: Firth in Bridget doesn't even make the list because I don't like that movie. 9. Rintoul. 8. Henderson (only seen it once). 7. Olivier. 6. Rhys. 5. MacFadyen (he wasn't given much to work with) 4. Firth. 3. Seale (LDS version). 2. Gordh (he was a very close 1st) 1. Cowan.
It seems I have a thing for seeing my Darcy's in modern settings. 
:-)
P.S. And for me, JJ as Henry Tilney will always beat out Darcy.

2016 Book Challenges Wrap-Up
If 2015 was busy, 2016 feels like it was even more so. Which is odd considering I had less official responsibilities outside of my regular job. But inside my regular job, I took on quite a bit because we were short 90 staff hours for about 5 months. And then someone amazing came along in October that brought reading almost to nil. If it weren't for those Picture Book reading binges to prep for storytimes and the joy of audio (especially now that I have a smartphone and could listen to them while mowing the yard, etc. besides just in the small car trips or my few hours off desk), very little would be read.
As a reminder, here was our points system for the S-n-H Challenge:
1. Each book must be at least 100 pages to count. (Under 100 equals .5 points.)
2. The first book in a category is worth 10 points. The rest are worth 5.
3. Any book you own is worth 25 points.
4. Any books on your goodreads "to-read" list previous to 2015 is worth 25 points.
For 2016 we altered the 2015 challenge to be a bit more doable, and picked categories that might have a bit more appeal with a few that would still be a challenge. 34 categories. That seemed much better than the previous 51. And it was the age I was turning, so I liked that. Because of that certain amazing man I met in October, who I ended up becoming engaged to in December, my reading not only dropped down significantly, but I was sure I was down in some categories. So it is to my great amazement that I not only completed all 34 categories, but actually completed a few of them twice!
I will admit that I moved a couple around to earn as many points as I could. ;-) But otherwise, here are my results. Please forgive me that even though I followed the instructions on how to save an Excel sheet as a JPEG, it is uploading with a black background. What in heavens?!? Also, I noticed after I had gone through all that trouble that I counted a book in 2 categories! Oops!!! So...Yeah. I'm, like, 10 points difference? 20? Letting it go.
AND don't forget my random A to Z Scrabble Challenge--because it intrigues me! This year I didn't care about who I was reading or the points. Just intrigued to see what I read. Scoring goes as follows:
1 point: A, E, I, L, N, O, R, S, T, U
2 points: D, G
3 points: B, C, M, P
4 points: F, H, V, W, Y
5 points: K
8 points: J, X
10 points: Q, Z
