Penny might have to rethink her career as an erotic romance author….

Recently, I took this fun Internet quiz that another Red Sage author posted to Facebook: Is This a Sex Toy or Home Repair Tool?

Um, Penny scored a measly seven correct answers out of 12! And most of those were guesses. The test’s response? “I’d stay out of the garage if I were you.”

I guess Penny isn’t as worldly as she should be… But now, the question is, how handy (as in “knowledgeable”) are you?

Take the quiz and find out. 😉

Because who doesn’t love a cat in a sink?

The Evil Entity doesn’t sleep in sinks. She’s addicted to dripping bathtub tap water, but hasn’t figured out how to sleep in a sink! She does, however, wash herself IN the tub. After she’s washed her paws in the dripping tap and stuck her head under the dripping tap and sat her butt in the little pool the dripping tap creates.

What’s your cat’s favorite bathroom activity? (No litter box stories, I beg you.)

I had a blog post planned for today, but it’ll have to wait for next week. I can’t resist posting this mock romance novel cover that’s floating around the Internet:

All in good fun.

Filched from Linda McLaughlin’s blog:

You Are a Grilled Cheese Sandwich

You are a traditional person with very simple tastes.In your opinion, the best things in life are free, easy, and fun.You totally go with the flow. And you enjoy every minute of it!Your best friend: The Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich Your mortal enemy: The Ham Sandwich

Sadly, I must report that Linda is my mortal enemy, because her blog says she’s a ham sandwich.

Any best friends out there? (PB and J).

I ate a Reuben right before taking this test, and it dares to say I have simple tastes? Because I’m too lazy to cut my sandwich into pieces? Because I drink milk? Sheesh! Milk rocks!

I must point out that I’ve made TONS of grilled cheese sandwiches over the years, because they are a favorite of my family’s. However, I’ve eaten maybe three. Yet, I proudly admit, I AM cheesy.

Yep, usually happens when you’re printing out something that has to get to the post office now!!

I’m back! Sort of. My body’s here. My mind, I’m not so sure.

Eldest Son is ensconced in his university of choice, and Youngest Son began (local) college today. Settling in E.S. required a trip out of town, but I’ve met two of his three roommates and ensured he has enough canned foods to see him through “learning to cook,” so I’m doing okay missing the little twerp. Keeping busy is the key. Today, I thoroughly cleaned the boys’ bathroom (I’m talking taking everything out, mopping everything down, scatter-painting—I believe the word for this activity is “touching up,” but it felt more like scatter-painting to me—the walls and baseboards, then moving everything back in). Now, only Y.S. is responsible for the state of the bathroom. Let’s see how that works out…

What Your Name Says About You

Your name says that you are mostly: Inspiring but melodramatic Your name also says you are: Artistic but extreme Unconventional but unstable Shrewd but overbearing

Hmmm. I love that “Cindy” is “inspiring,” but “melodramatic?” Give me a freaking break!!! Who the hell is this quiz to say I’m melodramatic???? I think I’ll go cry buckets.

“Artistic but extreme.” Okay, I know there’s such a thing as extreme sports, but…extreme artistry? At least it says I’m artistic, which is good, considering I’m a writer. I’ll try to look upon “extreme” as a compliment, too. “Extremely” entertaining. “Extreme,” mad writerly skills, yada.

“Unconventional but unstable.” Yes, I might fall off my chair any second. I admit I don’t have the greatest sense of balance, which undoubtedly accounts for the “unstable.”

“Shrewd but overbearing.” Another insult packed with a compliment. Well, some people don’t understand my sense of humor, so maybe I’m overbearing, but it’s not my fault. I didn’t name me Cindy.

Just for fun, I then typed in my pen name:

What Your Name Says About You

Your name says that you are mostly: Intuitive but high strung Your name also says you are: Ambitious but stubborn Dynamic but aggressive Passionate but flighty

Interesting, my pen name shares the exact same characteristics as Avery’s name…

Taking the whole experiment one step further, I typed in my pen name’s blog nickname (“Penny” for the uneducated). That results in :

What Your Name Says About You

Your name says that you are mostly: Commanding but aloof Your name also says you are: Passionate but flighty Unconventional but unstable Perceptive but paranoid

Wow. “Cindy” and “Penny” are both “unconventional but unstable,” while “Penny” and my actual pen name are both “passionate but flighty.” I think it’s safe to say we can determine I am:

Unconventional
Unstable
Passionate
Flighty

If that’s not a creative personality, what is?

How do you fare on this quiz? Take it…if you dare.
