Here’s the breakdown of what each item says about me, starting with the easiest:
The slipper—turns out this was a dead giveaway. As soon as this item was revealed the night of our Enrichment, everyone knew it belonged to me. I always wear slippers in my house and sometimes out of the house, too. Not only are my feet always cold, but I find shoes to be uncomfortable. I go through a pair of slippers at least every six months.
The football—it actually has nothing to do with Caleb, although that would’ve been a nice tribute. He does love the game every bit as much as I do, which is a whole heckuva lot! My ideal Saturday in fall would be to park myself on my couch and watch game after game. The Cougs are obviously my favorite but I find any football contest exciting.
The apple—the Yakima Valley is known for being one of the best apple-producing areas in the world. The apple does represent my Washingtonian heritage, but more specifically the fact that I was born in Yakima. The second meaning was one not guessed by anyone, which was surprising to me. An apple is a symbol of a teacher and though I don’t currently have my own formal classroom, I always consider it to be part of who I am.
The blanket—Who knew this would be so difficult? I think the fact that it was a toy blanket made it deceiving but after all, it was the only one that would fit in a paper bag. The blanket represents the fact that I am always tired and that I can fall asleep anytime, anywhere. It also represents that I am always cold and in the winter months, I curl up on top of heating vents and use a blanket to create a cocoon of warm air.
Once last winter, Natalie left a doll outside. When we discovered it, it was covered in snow and frozen solid. She brought it inside, wrapped it in a blanket and placed it on top of the heating vent. When I saw that doll, I laughed. I thought about how funny it looked and then thought about how much more funny it must look for my family to see me doing the same thing. Oh well, it works. The doll was warm and cozy in no time, just like me.
So there you have it. The answers to the quiz revealed.

Looks like I failed. But, I don't think it's fair that you used two items to represent how cold you always are! :) I never would have thought that the blanket and slipper were for the same thing. And maybe I live too much in the moment but I would never have thought of the apple for a teacher, either. This was fun!
But the blanket and the slipper weren't exactly the same. The blanket's main meaning had to do with sleep and the fact that I'm always tired.
I failed too! But, it was fun to do! I am with Erin, a bit misleading on the blanket. Maybe I will go next, we'll see.
Ah, yes...sleep deprived mothers unite! I think that's why I'm always doing something...otherwise I'll fall asleep.
Good job with the apple. As soon as you said it I felt like slapping myself upside the head.
So fun. I might have to do this myself sometime.
Still a fun way to learn more about you. I'm surprised, too about the apple. Duh!! Anyway, thanks for the clarification!
Although I didn't post my guesses, I was dead on except the blanket... couldn't figure that one out, I think it was because it was a doll blanket.
