Merry Christmas!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!


We've updated SantaPenguin.com! There are a new card up, a few wallpapers, and some more goodies for you to enjoy. I am quite happy with the theme for this year's card. It was another work that came from talking with Mom. I had wanted do something with a modern Santa and Saint Nicholas leading a horse-drawn sleigh through a woodland. She suggested the reflection in the pool of water. :)
Preparations for Christmas have kept me quite busy this month. I still can't believe how much time has passed! Hopefully, things will slow down soon for a short while.

What Your Fridge Says About You

You tend to be a fairly thrifty person. You splurge occasionally, but you're mostly a saver.

You are a very adventurous person. You love to try new things, and you get bored very easily.

You try to be responsible, but you don't always succeed. Your heart is in the right place though.

You are likely to be married - and very busy.

You Are Austin



A little bit country, a little bit rock and roll.

You're totally weird and very proud of it.

Artistic and freaky, you still seem to fit in... in your own strange way.



Famous Austin residents: Lance Armstrong, Sandra Bullock, Andy Roddick


=================================================================



You Are a Smart American



You know a lot about US history, and you're opinions are probably well informed.

Congratulations on bucking stereotypes. Now go show some foreigners how smart Americans can be.



I am American and proud of it!(though I like foreign folk just fine)
=====================================================================



You Are an Excellent Cook



You're a top cook, but you weren't born that way. It's taken a lot of practice, a lot of experimenting, and a lot of learning.

It's likely that you have what it takes to be a top chef, should you have the desire...



Oh, I don't know about that, but at least I don't usually burn anything and my brother usually doesn't take one look or sniff and yell "EWWWW!". lol
===========================================================================



People Envy Your Compassion



You have a kind heart and an unusual empathy for all living creatures. You tend to absorb others' happiness and pain.

People envy your compassion, and more importantly, the connections it helps you build. And compassionate as you are, you feel for them.


=======================================================================



You Are Very Happy



Your life is totally together, and you enjoy every day.

And you don't need a quiz to tell you that!

You know how to find pleasure in the little things...

And even when life isn't so great, you have a good sense of perspective.



That comes from knowing God. Telling Him thank you for the blessings He has given us does a lot for making me a much happier person.
=======================================================================



You Are Fairly Skeptical



You're not the type of person who will fall for anything...

But you do keep your mind open to all sorts of possibilities.

You figure that anything could be true. After all, the world is a strange place.

However, you're going to need some convincing before you can believe in aliens or reincarnation!


==============================================================================



You are Milk Chocolate

Also nostalgic, you rarely forget a meaningful moment... even those from long ago.


==========================================================================



You Can Hang With the Guys and the Girls



You've struck a good balance between girlie and laid back.

You can keep it casual but when you dress up, you are as girly as the next girl.


==========================================================================



Your Friend is Not Fake



You have a true friend - and you're smart enough to know you're lucky to have such a great friendship.

So let your friend know that you really appreciate all she's done for you... and for keeping it real!


===============================================================================



You Are A Good Friend



You're always willing to listen to your friends.

And you're the first to lend a shoulder to cry on.

You're there through thick and thin. You won't stop being friends with someone when times are tough.

In fact, you're such a good friend that many people consider you their "best friend"!
