High 5 instead of the Gallup Strength Finder

I was speaking with a friend who is currently going through the coaching program for Gallup's Strength Finder. She encouraged me to take it. However, I admit once I found out that it was $50, I looked for similar free tests instead.

Apparently, the High5 is similar, and one site has it for free, along with a preliminary report but the full report is $30, so I'll stick with the preliminary report. Shockingly, these are my top 5 strengths:

Analyst
Deliverer
Time Keeper
Thinker
Strategist

A bit about each one:

Analyst

 Analysts are energized by getting to look for simplicity and clarity through a large amount of data. Analyst are frustrated when someone asks them to follow their heart rather than logic and proven facts.

 Deliverer

 Deliverers follow through on their commitments and they enjoy seeing how it builds more trust and respect among others. They feel horrible if promises get broken - both on the receiving and on the giving side.

 Time Keeper

 Nothing excites Time Keeper more than meeting the deadline. They enjoy setting up processes, timelines, and plans. Time Keepers get confused in chaos where neither outcomes nor ways to achieve them are clear.

 Thinker

 Thinkers enjoy the mental activity, intellectual discussions and spending time alone thinking. They find it hard to work in teams where acting before thinking is the norm.

 Strategist

 Strategists have the skill to see the big picture, which enables them to find the best route through the clutter. Because connecting the dots comes so naturally for them, they get impatient with people who make slow decisions.


What, I mostly think and enjoy thinking? Quelle surprise!

Halloween Party and my costume

Image
This weekend, I attended an awesome Halloween party, and even dressed up as Hermoine Granger. I admit, it was a bit fun to dress up as Hermoine Granger. I took a lot of thought for my costume. I started searching for costumes on August 26th, and found a costume site on September 13th:  https://www.moviescostume.com/harry-potter-gryffindor-uniform-hermione-granger-cosplay-costume-adults-ver.html However, I didn't want to just drop over $100 on a costume I'll likely only wear once. What else can I do? Can I just build the costume from regular clothes? After all, Hermoine mostly wore a school uniform for the first few movies. Certainly I could do that. I set off to build my uniform. I got the skirt from Lands End. The socks , blazer , patch ,  tie  and wand from Amazon. The shirt came from J Jill, but I bought that about ten years ago or so, and the shoes I purchased last year from Belk. I referenced this guide to learn how to tie a Full Windsor Knot, a tie style wit

Board games and near the end of the gym challenge

Today was another success! Went to the gym after my two cups of coffee, warmed up the rest of the Picadillo for lunch, and finished a few chores. This evening, I was invited to a board game night with a few friends. We played Spinjas and Stuffed Fables. The gym was my last arm/chest routine day until the 31st, where I'll do the full body routine and see where I gained. I'm certain I didn't lose weight - way too many cookies and candies around to snack on, but hopefully I'm stronger. I certainly feel stronger and better, and that is enough to keep going. I'm looking forward to getting a better diet in January by not having sugar for the month, and continuing to go the the gym - just not daily. Stuffed Fables is a really cute game! We played Story 1 where a girl's blanket is stolen from a little girl's bed, and the Stuffed animals characters, Theadora, Stitch, Flops and Lumpy have to travel through the underworld to rescue the blanket and get back to bed b

Jose and Sons review

 I went with one of my friends to Jose and Sons Mexican restaurant on Glenwood Avenue and Pleasant Valley Road. I picked this place as I'd hear a lot of good things about it, and we were there early before the place got busy.  We were not impressed. The server was slow to get us our drinks, and did not get us chips and salsa, bur I could see his other tables got chips and salsa - turns out it was from a runner. We got ours eventually, (not from the server) but the first five minutes of our meal, we just stared at a bowl of guac and our two waters. No matter, maybe he was new. Maybe the kitchen was frying a new batch of chips. Maybe the bartender was new. While waiting, we noticed that the place looked like it needed new paint. In our booth, the pink paint was chipping off the wall. I was confused, because I thought they just moved here from downtown. They didn't even give the place a new coat of paint before moving in? The chips were warm, not hot, and the salsa was very sweet.
