It's time for another FYBTO from SSD! Who were you in high school?

This week it's about Who were you in high school. Fact is, it's pretty spot on. Only when i went to HS, there was no such thing as computer lab,lol.

You Were the Brainy Kid

In high school, you were acing AP classes or hanging out in the computer lab. You may have been a bit of a geek back then, but now you're a total success!

Who Were You In High School?

So, I always just thought I had a mid west accent,lol

Cute little quiz at the SSD blog Thursday.
Seems I have this accent (according to their quiz ;) )

What American accent do you have? Your Result: The Inland North   You may think you speak "Standard English straight out of the dictionary" but when you step away from the Great Lakes you get asked annoying questions like "Are you from Wisconsin?" or "Are you from Chicago?" Chances are you call carbonated drinks "pop."
The Midland
The Northeast
Philadelphia
The South
The West

Little victories

As you can see, there's a slide show to the right. It might appear to be a simple process to've added this, but i was totally baffled,lol. It took a very good friend of mine to help me get it right. She's incredibly patient with me, bless her.
But it's little victories like learning how to do this that can sure add to my self esteem for sure.

Another From Our Blog to Yours from SSD,lol

I never worked in the summer as a kid. My summers were spent being with the horses. We'd go riding out around the section, which was at that time, full of trails and a wonderful woods to ride through. All that's gone, sold to some guy who tore down all the woods and put it to farming (sigh. is so sad). We could ride the back roads too, then, because the traffic was low and they didn't drive like they were at the indy 500.
They were also spent getting ready for the county fair, for 4-h. I had a horse project from the time I was 13 till it was time to graduate from high school. That last year I couldn't, because I was attending college that fall. We always had a blast at the Fair. I had good friends and we spent a lot of great hours together, without a parent around for a few hours,lol.
Those summers were good. And I do miss them a lot.
