Who Am I?

Instead of sitting down and actually writing something serious & deeply thought provoking I broke my own rule & read blogs BEFORE posting mine. And that led me to this fun quiz at Amy's place, the bitchin wives club! Of course I love the test result even though I came awfully close to being a Doris Day!
