My Name - is this your.name

is this your name ?

My name is = 36% of the letters are vowels. Of one million first and last names we looked at, 47.7% have a higher vowel make-up. This means you are averagely envoweled.

Your 'Numerology' number is 2. If it wasn't bulls**t, it would mean that you are supportive, diplomatic, analytical, and play well with others. A team-player, you seek peace and harmony in a group. This is funny given my 2-2 connection all ready

According to the US Census Bureau°, 0.092% of US residents have the first name 'Tamara' and 0.007% have the surname 'Cr****ll'. The US has around 300 million residents, so we guesstimate there are 19 'Tamara 's with my last name.

little factoids - while watching the Rocks tonight.

halloween thing

What Your Halloween Habits Say About You

You're a friendly person, but not the life of the party. You like making someone else's day - and you'll dress up if you think of a really fun costume. You often feel invisible when you're in public. And it's a shame, because you're really quite a character. Your inner child is full of wonder and very sweet. You truly fear the dark side of humanity. You are a true misanthrope. You're prone to be quite emotional and over dramatic. Deep down, you enjoy being scared out of your mind... even if you don't admit it. You are a total overachiever and workaholic. You're the type of person who plans their elaborate Halloween costume weeks in advance.

What's" Your Halloween Personality?

walking - tickets - stuff

Walking has made it to the top and here's why! It's virtually injury-free, will boost your energy level, help you "walk" away stress and burn calories more effectively as compared to running or sprinting. Experts are no longer promoting vigorous exercise to get fit. They are recommending walking for better health. More and more people are adopting it as the most popular form of exercise and combining it with other fitness programs and activities.

This is one of my " ticket items" a personal goal and i have to say I have been pretty successful in tracking my steps: cause here are my pedometer reports

To date you have taken 428,798 steps. This is about equal to: 214.4 miles (345.2 km)1st Day steps tracked: 3/20/2006 - so I am feeling pretty pumped by these numbers.

I have lost 15 lbs since starting my new job and adding my bus commute that includes about a mile of walking a day! YEAH its not huge but i feel better.

It is scouts... and more

I have been a busy girl, I volunteered for scout duty at the Denver Area Camporee and I will have my first " crew" meeting wed- the 10th. I have scout pics on my Camera I haven't even downloaded in nearly a month, I have been scrapping my Wood badge adventures and will post them in electronic form too. NOt to mention all my duties at church and with the kids.

I have a bunch of blogs on my blogrolls

And There are lots of different folks to choose from, something for everyone. this happens to be from Trevor aaaaaaaaaat
Found in a fortune cookie: "Be kind, for eveyone you meet is fighting their battle too."

this touched me right there ( you know where your heart is?)

hey- how about those Rockies!!

Rocktober is a kick'n time this year with the home team, beating out the padres ( sorry auntie Sunny! i know those are your guys) is it really possible that we could see a world series in Denver?? They are doing an awesome job- with a bunch of rookies.

We had an employee recognition luncheon today at work, it was awesome- and the boss kept us posted on the Rockies throughout. We really have baseball fever here. Even J who's not a big fan is caught up in watching the boys do well.
