Best Texas State Parks

And the winner is my favorite state park!


The House Oracle

You Are Both an Introvert and an Extrovert
You are a mysterious person. Even your closest friends may feel like they don't know you very well.

You like to weigh all of your options before making a decision. You are apt to look for a compromise.

You are easy going and low maintenance. You tend to let the small stuff slide.

You rely on yourself first and foremost. You know that you won't ever let yourself down.

mulligrubs

From the Word of the Day:

mulligrubs mul·li·grubs [muhl-i-gruhbz] noun,
(used with a singular or plural verb )

Southern U.S. ill temper; colic; grumpiness.

I'm from the "Southern U.S." and have never heard of this word. I know it though, because I am it.
