i may just have the smartest brother ever.

This morning my brother DMed me on Twitter telling me to go to some link.

Let me give you a little background on my brother. He's extremely savvy when it comes to technology. And, he's always on the lookout for something that might tickle someone he knows' fancy. I get emails from him fairly often about things he's read that he knows/thinks I might be interested in. He's pretty thoughtful.

When I got the link, I saw Etsy in the address. My curiosity was immediately piqued. My brother knows about Etsy? And, he's shopped on Etsy? No way.

What I found when I followed the link was a little quiz of sorts. Six items were shown and I had to pick the one that was most like me (or hit the little button at the top that said none were like me, move on). I went through the quiz and what did I see? A long listing of things that Etsy figured I'd like. And, well ... they figured right!

I've spent many an hour on there looking for things that I love. I've seen so many other blogs posting about the great things they find on there, and I just have never known how they find the great things. Do they do specific searches? Do they already know of certain sellers that have the goods? I had no idea.

This little quiz really opened my eyes.

If you want to take the quiz, go here.

Below you'll find a smattering (good word, huh) of items that Etsy just knew I'd love (and it's super tiny...whoops!). And you can see the entire list of recommendations here.


Go take the quiz and find out just how well Etsy knows you! 

Oh, and PS -- J and I braved Babies R Us yesterday and finally started a registry (sans argument)!!

Well, that made me nervous!

Do you watch Big Brother? If you don't, you should definitely start. Here are my reasons:

1. It's on 3 {yep...threeeeee} nights a week. Too much to handle, you say? No...it's awesome! So much happens each time, it's so good.

2. This show keeps you guessing. Each episode is completely different. Who's going to win Head of Household (HOH)? Who will win the Power of Veto (POV)? Who's going to be evicted? Never.a.dull.moment.

and, 3. Everyone has to have a guilty pleasure, right? This happens to be {one of} mine!

Anyway, tonight was awesome! But, before it all began, I was pretty nervous. Jeff was given the power of coup d'etat by America, and this was final week to be able to use it, or he lost it.

He did not disappoint! He took down both of Chima's nominations and put up Natalie & Jessie {yessss!} And, eventually Jessie {sucka!} was sent home. Good riddance. You didn't win BB10 and you ain't {I know...} winnin' BB11.

This guy lost. Twice.

If you watch, you know that Chima was not happy at all. I didn't realize that both Jeff and {former HOH} Chima could play in the new HOH competition...a little scary for Jeff if you ask me. But, things worked out {hopefully} because Michele won. And Michele is a bit of a tricky one. She has no allegiance to anyone, or maybe she does and we'll find out to whom she has it.

Tune in on Sunday on CBS.
