Clouds in My Coffee

Hi Friends!


Gosh! I hate not being able to blog from being so busy! I feel like y'all are all going to forget about me if I don't get to visit or write for a couple of days! :o) The weather is finally starting to behave like fall here. It has only been up into the 80's this week and they are calling for rain for the next three days. I know most people don't like rain on the weekends, but it is good sleeping weather for me since I sleep during the day on Saturday and Sunday! I do wish that the rain had waited a few more hours to come today. My youngest son's kindergarten class was supposed to go to the fair today and I was going to go with them. Tanner was really excited about me riding the bus with him. I just called the school and the trip has been cancelled. :o( They are going to be eating their sack lunches that they packed to take with them in the classroom today, so I thought I would surprise Tanner and go eat lunch with them! He won't be expecting me to come since it is raining, so he'll be happy I'm sure!

Thank you all so much for the well-wishes on my tests. I think they went okay. I feel really good about my Chemistry test but I won't find out my grade until Monday. My A & P test is another story...I made a D on it. I was one question from making a C...how frustrating! But, I will chalk it up as a learning experience and do better on the next one. This test was over cell tissue, which I find really boring. I think once we get into the good stuff, I'll enjoy it more and do better on the tests!

I was thrilled to open my mailbox and find this sweet gift from my friend Claudia this morning, so I thought I would share it with you all...

Thank you so very much Claudia!!!
-hugs- to you my sweet friend!!


Here is my Friday Five for this week:

1. Is the name you have now the same name that's on your birth certificate? If not, what's changed?
The name that appeared on my birth certificate was Fisher. During my freshman year of high school, my step-father adopted me and it was changed to Seal. Now, of course, my name is Wilkins which is my married name. :o)

2. If you could change your name (first, middle and/or last), what would it be?
I don't think I would change my name. It is a gift that my parents gave me as a child and I don't really have any problems with it. I guess it could be worse! :o)

3. Why were you named what you were? (Is there a story behind it? Who specifically was responsible for naming you?)
I think the only story behind my name is that my parents liked it. I am not named after anyone in our family or anything like that.

4. Are there any names you really hate or love? What are they and why?
I really love my boys' names (I guess that's why I picked them)!! I also like the names Aubry, Grace, and Madelyn for little girls...but I don't guess I'll ever get to use them myself!

5. Is the analysis of your name at kabalarians.com accurate? How or how isn't it?
This was a really neat analysis "thingy"! Mine is below...I think it is pretty accurate except for the part about being reluctant to taking on a demanding work-load or responsibility. I am a hard worker, so that part is not right. Here's my analysis:

The name of Rebecca creates a friendly, sociable, charming nature, but causes you to be too easily influenced by others. While you find it easy to meet and mix, and can appear agreeable and compromising in conversation, you can become dogmatic and forceful if pressed too far. Others learn that you cannot be told what to do and you seldom change your mind once it is made up. You prefer situations that allow a degree of independence, but are reluctant to take on a demanding work-load or responsibility. In a position dealing with the public, you could do well because of your friendly personality, interest in people, and desire to please. When asked, you are able to give others good advice that you would probably not follow yourself, but must guard against being too opinionated in controversial matters.

Sorry for such a long post today! I hope you all have a super day!
