I Blame Ellen

My morning bloggy visit to Ellen's revealed: I am an oatmeal raisin cookie. I am a Monet painting. My learning style is independent and innovative.

You Are 12% Texas

Damn Yankee! You think the sun comes up just to hear you crow.

How Texas Are You?

I am 8% New Yorker.

Your English Skills:

Grammar: 100% Punctuation: 100% Spelling: 100% Vocabulary: 80%

Does Your English Cut the Mustard?

I get 100% on all the other parts of the English quiz but I am embarrassed that vocabulary is only 80%. (What DOES Halcyon mean). I apparently have time to squander while my coffee is getting cold on Saturday mornings.

I'm 12% Texas too, an oatmeal raisin cookie, but you're a better speller than I am!

Have a wonderful Saturday, Kim.

Don't feel bad about the English test, Kim. The tricky one for me was the Gwen Stefani question, and I had to look it up because I got it wrong. According to the Purdue online writing lab, commas and periods within closing quotation marks, except when a parenthetical reference follows the quotation.

I was 0% Texan, "Farbstudie Quadrate" by Wassily Kandinsky, and an oatmeal raisin cookie. Which is weird, because I lived in Texas for 4 years (graduated from high school and went to college for 2 years - go figure!), and the first time I even heard of Kandinsky was in that movie with Ashley Judd and Tommy Lee Jones called "Double Jeopardy." :)

I'm 53% Texan. I have no idea how that is. I've only spent two weeks of my entire life in Texas. Maybe it's a southern thing more than a Texan thing.

Halcyon means peaceful.

Ha! I'm 20 percent Texan and I'm not brave enough to take the other test...
