Picture Day and 1st round Duels

I put up my picture for Picture Day. I used my avatar because I have to say it looks very much like me (except a bit skinnier). :0)

I'm working on my hat for the 1st round of the duel. We'll see how it goes. I didn't get to do much today because I spent the whole day grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning, and getting ready for the week. Being a mom is a lot of work. Very rewarding, but tiring none the less.

Hopefully, my dueling opponent is as busy as I am so I will at least have a fighting chance!

Wish me luck!

My perfect Harry Potter Husband!

I found this quiz on Izzy Whizzy.

I love it! The Weasley Twins are definitely my kind of guys.

Your result for The Harry Potter Husband Test...

Mrs. Weasley Twin

Your perfect HP man is Fred and/or George Weasley.

Laughter is important to you. You want a guy who's never boring, who can always put a smile on your face, and who can pull the best of pranks and never get caught. Or possibly two such guys. Because let's face it, they're pretty much a two-fer. You get one, you get both. Even if one of them's only a friend, he'll still be around so much you'll feel like you're married to him, too. Sure, they may not seem like the most mature guys in the world, in a traditional sense, but just ask them about their business plan. When they drive you nuts by relentlessly testing their latest inventions on you, you can console youself with that huge stack of cash and dragon-leather jacket. Besides, you know you're powerless against those stereo smiles.
