Check Back in a Few Minutes …
Carly Icon

OK I admit it. I forgot to blog. I’m still tired and want to go back to bed. I’m sorry!
It took me 40 minutes to find a fun quiz for us today … Forgive me for not having something original.
Yesterday was my mom’s 65th birthday surprise party and I’m wiped out!
:happybd: HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM! :happybd:

And now a Monday Quiz:


You Are 61% Vain


You’re a little vain, but you also work hard for your good looks.
Just remember, everyone knows you are a total hottie. You don’t have to remind them.

I admit I thought I’d be much worse, LOL!!!!
How about YOU? How vain are you? C’mon, we won’t tell!

Carly

CarlyCarly Phillips would like to take 100% credit for all her stories but the truth is, Carly’s strength is writing family, emotion, funky elderly people and animals. She couldn’t plot her way out of a paper bag, which is why she smartly found her plotmonkey pals early on in her writing career. Thanks to their support, Carly is now a NYT Bestselling author of 23 plus novels. Because writing doesn’t keep her busy enough, Carly is also a wife, a mother of one preteen and one teenage daughter, the primary care giver of her soft coated Wheaten terrier and an expert carpool mom.

    You Are 25% Vain


    Okay, so you’re slightly vain from time to time, but you’re not superficial at all.
    You are realistic. You know that looks matter. You just try to make them matter less.

    This is NOT a good quiz for a Monday morning, :rotfl1:

    I’m 24% vain. I’m finding that the older I get, the less those things matter!!! But like Julie, when I’m at a conference with 2,000 women, the vain factor increases! :rotfl1:

    Carly, so far you have us all beat! :giggle:

    LOL Hey, I admit it, I knew I was vain and I have admitted it freely on several occasions but I honestly didn’t think I was that bad though…

    Good morning plotmonkeys and everyone. Hope you had a wonderful weekend. I hit a little slump yesterday but I’m back to normal today. :banana:

    Have a great day,

    You Are 17% Vain

    You don’t have a vain bone in your body – almost as a matter of principal.
    You demand to be judged on who you are, not what you look like.

    :happybd: to your Mom, Carly!

    Hey,
    I’m 48 % vain. Love these test.
    Carly, happy birthday to your mom. :happybd:
    Hope everybody had a wonderful weekend. Already looking to the next because it’s pretty stressy at the moment and I would love to unwind a little.

    So have a great week and take care.

    Bye bye :wave:

    I’m 44% Vain :You’re a little vain, but more than anything you have a healthy amount of confidence.
    Thinking the world of yourself is great. Just don’t think less of those who aren’t as pretty as you!

    :happybd: To Carlys Mom!!

    Cute quiz Carly. When I was a teenager that number would have been much higher. Now, as a mom, don’t pay that much attention.

    Happy Birthday to your Mom! :happybd:

    Well, I should I have made a comment on my 27% vain! I was aware ahead of time that vanity is not much on my mind these days! Good grooming and comfort are more important. :thumbsup:
    Carly, I hope your Mom had a wonderful birthday. Throwing a party is a lot of work! I hope you were able to enjoy it also.

    Whew. LONG day. Two doctor’s appts for kids, dropping them at friend’s , picking them up, I swear … Columbus gets a holiday and Mom’s don’t. :onfire:

    Thanks for all the bday wishes to my mom! She’s the best and deserved a great party.

    My mom raised me to remember that I shouldn’t get complacent just b/c I’m married and to make sure I keep myself together, LOL. Not in a vain way, just in a that’s the way things are kind of way. So I come by my score naturally, LOL. I really did think it would be higher!

    Hi, came back and did the quiz…only proved what I already knew…I am not that vain…I really don’t focus on my looks…I am too ordinary for that…the results are below…

    You Are 11% Vain
