7 - the Adventurer

you chose AX - your Enneagram type is SEVEN (aka "The Enthusiast").
"I am happy and open to new things"
Adventurers are energetic, lively, and optimistic. They want to contribute to the world.

How to Get Along with Me
Give me companionship, affection, and freedom.
Engage with me in stimulating conversation and laughter.
Appreciate my grand visions and listen to my stories.
Don't try to change my style. Accept me the way I am.
Be responsible for youself. I dislike clingy or needy people.
Don't tell me what to do.

What I Like About Being a SEVEN
being optimistic and not letting life's troubles get me down
being spontaneous and free-spirited
being outspoken and outrageous. It's part of the fun.
being generous and trying to make the world a better place
having the guts to take risks and to try exciting adventures
having such varied interests and abilities

What's Hard About Being a SEVEN
not having enough time to do all the things I want
not completing things I start
not being able to profit from the benefits that come from specializing; not making a commitment to a career
having a tendency to be ungrounded; getting lost in plans or fantasies
feeling confined when I'm in a one-to-one relationship

SEVENs as Children Often
are action oriented and adventuresome
drum up excitement
prefer being with other children to being alone
finesse their way around adults
dream of the freedom they'll have when they grow up

SEVENs as Parents
are often enthusiastic and generous
want their children to be exposed to many adventures in life
may be too busy with their own activities to be attentive

when we got home from our appoitment yesterday we went down to the yard and

the dock to take some more pictures..... i dont know how much different i

look than i did 4 weeks ago but i sure have gained weight.... as my doctor

says " WHOA.....wow--you sure took a leap....." that makes me feel so

good...oh well. the baby is as healthy as can be it looks like and

that is all that matters to me! only 121 days to go!!!

random thoughts... and random pictures...

turned the TV on and then went to my TIVO to push play for GOSSIP GIRL and it was not there.. so i immediately thought drew taped to many nascar things and got mad! oh no....... not the case--JUST A RERUN!! so i now have time to blog! :) oops sorry drew!
