You are Wasabi! You're pretty much insane. You're probably from another planet, even. When you're around people, you go straight for the crown chakra and get them all tingly. You're often imitated by those who want to be like you, but you're definitely one of a kind.

I usually take these tests but don't post them, but I just loved this one. Which spice are you?

1. Don't go to the mall at all between Thanksgiving and January 1.

2. Shop online as much as possible.

3. Bring all the Christmas decorations out of the attic. Every. Single. One. Use them or toss them.

4. Make cocoa and sing Christmas carols with your family on several evenings, preferably next to the fireplace. Put whipped cream and colored sugar on the cocoa and you will feel like Martha Stewart.

5. You are not Martha Stewart, so don't pretend to be. Unless, of course, you are Martha Stewart (welcome to my blog, Martha!).

6. Make a lot of good food. Don't kill yourself, but make some good stuff. If you like coconut cream pie, but no one else does, it's okay to make a whole coconut cream pie for yourself. Do it. Make a rule that no one is to speak of calories, exercise or New Year's Resolutions until December 26 or later.

7. Eat the food on Christmas Eve. Then eat leftovers on Christmas Day. That way you can chill and play Guitar Hero III on the Wii without running around the kitchen trying to be Martha when it's not. going. to. happen.

8. Don't worry that maybe you should have gone to the mall to pick up a few last minute gifts because things might be slim under the tree. There will be PLENTY under the tree. No worries.

9. Make extra fudge.

10. Hug your loved ones as much as possible. Kiss the baby's sweet cheeks, nuzzle into her neck. Watch Rudolph with your 7 year old...again. Read one more chapter with your son. Smile at your husband - really look at him and smile.

11. Talk about Jesus. How he came. How he will come again. How he loves us. His amazing grace. Talk about Him a lot, with anyone who will listen.

Trust me. It works.

Here's a tip for you:

If someone you know has been sending someone else you know the exact same Christmas present for the last fifteen years, you know, like a tradition, don't step in and then send that very same gift yourself on year 16. It's just rude.

Romy is five months old now. She is a genius! She still can't roll over, but she can give you big, open-mouthed baby kisses when you ask for them. She has thus guaranteed that she will never need to roll over because she will never be put down from this point forward. Who can get enough baby kisses? She has great thighs and a wonderful belly laugh. I don't know how we got along without her for so long!
