I've heard good things about The Invention of Wings. It is definitely on my TBR list.

I recently did one of those silly things that supposedly tells what your "old lady name" is. Mine was Gladys. REALLY? <br /><br />Recently finished reading The Invention of Wings (Sue Monk Kidd.) Love what that woman does with words!Write-Minded Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04176593380108669748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6229818391094949327.post-51296390710833268442014-07-11T14:20:12.681-07:002014-07-11T14:20:12.681-07:00K.J., thanks for visiting my blog and commenting. ...K.J., thanks for visiting my blog and commenting. Yes, those quizzes are sometime alarmingly accurate--which is why I scrolled right past the one asking which Golden Girl are you most like. I would've probably gotten Sophia! :-/Dee Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05075414876444998775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6229818391094949327.post-27322423970758782042014-07-10T09:12:20.757-07:002014-07-10T09:12:20.757-07:00I'm the same way, Dee Dee.

Those quizzes aren't always accurate, haha. Sometimes they're spot on too. It just depends. I took this quiz about which element I am, and it said I was fire; passionate, quick to speak, and with a temper. I'm passionate, but I am none of those other things lol.<br /><br />~K.J.

With my luck, if I'd taken that bird quiz, I'd have probably come out as a looney bird or a cuckoo. As far as the post on words, I'm looking forward to it. Be sure to send it to me when it comes out.Dee Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05075414876444998775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6229818391094949327.post-86512773261656565262014-07-08T18:36:09.648-07:002014-07-08T18:36:09.648-07:00Thank you, Sonia.

This will probably come as a shock to a lot of people, but I'm not really a talker, either, unless I'm comfortable with the people around me. And you, babbling? Never!Dee Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05075414876444998775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6229818391094949327.post-41919489096184149982014-07-08T11:33:39.180-07:002014-07-08T11:33:39.180-07:00I know how you feel - I took the bird one (with mu...I know how you feel - I took the bird one (with much the same attitude as you) knowing I'd be the fierce eagle. I ended up with 'Dove' or something similar enough that 'fierce' was not an adjective that worked. While I admit the description seemed to fit me (mediating middle child that I am) but I was still quite annoyed.<br /><br />My writing buddy has a post coming up on words that you will probably appreciate. I'd tell you what kind of words, but there was a big word to describe them which I wasn't familiar with and can't remember!Shel Harringtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10493140059859176864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6229818391094949327.post-22914239831720211082014-07-08T10:45:34.016-07:002014-07-08T10:45:34.016-07:00Linguistic Thinker here!

Mostly I like quiet, and I was rarely one to roam the halls looking for someone to talk to, but when I'm with people who make me feel comfortable, I suppose I tend to . . . babble?)<br /><br />Really enjoyed this post, Dee Dee!
