I took a little quiz that Amy has on her blog. It's a simple quiz, 2 questions w/ 3 possible answers each, and it tells you what Female Icon you are.
For me, I'm a Bette.
The link will bring you to my results page, but here are a few highlights ...
How to Get Along with Me
* Stand up for yourself... and me. (so true!)
* Be confident, strong, and direct. (yes, timidness and weakness puts me off)
* I often speak in an assertive way. Don't automatically assume it's a personal attack. (DUH!!)
* When I scream, curse, and stomp around, try to remember that's just the way I am. (heh.)
What's Hard About Being a Bette
* overwhelming people with my bluntness; scaring them away when I don't intend to. (And you wonder why I am always so careful in explaining myself at times!)
* being restless and impatient with others' incompetence (~giggle~)
* never forgetting injuries or injustices (it's true, I'm a grudge holder)
Amy was right, it was a really accurate test based on only two little answers. What about you? Take the test for yourself and let me know!
... Once (and still) Infertile, but still Schnarky as hell. This blog is dedicated to the daily ramblings from the mind of Nancy. It isn't about anything profound in the grand scheme of things, but it ~is~ about things in my life, schnarkiness always included. I have a second blog, listed in my profile, but the blogs will continue to remain separate.
"I'm aiming for heaven, but I'll probably wind up down in hell"
About Me
- nancy
- I am a 39 year old woman. I am the mother of two beautiful daughters and a handsome son. I am a career woman. As for my TTC world, it certainly doesn't seem like I am "infertile", but I fought for my pregnancies and my TTC/IF history is on the sidebar. I have two blogs, which are both listed in my profile. One focuses on my daily life - including IF, TTC, pregnancy, delivery and even some "children mentioned" posts. The second blog is ~soley~ posts directly about being the mother to my three children.

Manual version to flip baby from breech to head down, Labor, Delivery, Emergency surgery due to cord detaching from placenta, Scary heart issues from losing over 40% of my blood supply, and then a blood transfusion due to the extreme loss of blood.

my results
I'm a Doris. I'll post on my blog.
Interesting!
~Velma
I'm a Bette too! :)
I'm an Audrey, and it's pretty right on.
I'm a Marilyn too - interesting!
BTW - I totally thought things through and then agreed to meet you :-)
In fact, I was also thinking of buying something for Karl as an early "welcome to the world" present!
I do want to meet you - and like I said in an earlier comment, I find it easier to be around a pregnant IFer than a fertile pg lady.
Also - we're not staying in Denver city - we are looking for something as close to CCRM as possible. Is that closer for you?
I'm a Bette too.
I am also a Bette...
I'm a Doris too!
I'm a Marilyn...Those descriptions described me to a T. That was scary....
Yup, a Bette too. Not a big surprise to me.
I'm a Doris! It pretty much describes me to a T!!
I'm a Doris. I agree the test is really accurate for only asking 2 questions.
I'm an Ingrid. It says "I am unique" but I bet I'm not the only Ingrid...
I am also a Doris... it's pretty accurate too!
hee hee on the picture! I kept trying to get a good shot- it'll get better, I was rusty from delegating to the hub, who sucks at it!
I don't have a daycare yet, but did find a fe to research in my neighborhood. I have next week off & will be getting lots done, hopefully!
That is so you Nancy! I'm going to have to take that too.
Hmmm.. Bette as well :)
I am also a Betty. :)
I'm a Bette.
I don't think I've ever had a test nail me quite so perfectly. I'm a Marilyn, to the bone.
