There&#8217;s nothing that makes me feel cozier in the winter than thinking about Central Park. I love it for all seasons, and it&#8217;s one of my favorite places in the world. I decided it would be fun to dedicate an image quiz to Central Park, and I hunted down the most beautiful Central Park images by indie photographers that I could find. (Don&#8217;t worry &#8211; as always the artists are always compensated for being featured on Blogthings!) Anyway, I hope you have as much fun taking this quiz as I did writing it: <a href="http://www.blogthings.com/thecentralparktest/" target="_blank">The Central Park Test</a></p>
<p>Comment and let me know how you liked this one. Did it describe you well? Are you as big of as Central Park fan as I am?</p>

Well, it&#8217;s almost time to ring in 2012! How did your year go? I had an awesome year! I had so much fun working on Blogthings, and I even got a little time to learn about psychology and programming. Maybe the only thing missing was a vacation or two&#8230; <img src='http://blog.blogthings.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />  If you were going to give your year a grade, what grade would it be? Take my latest quiz to find out: <a href="http://www.blogthings.com/howwouldyougradeyouryearquiz/" target="_blank">How Would You Grade Your Year?</a></p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve been a longtime Blogthings fan, you may remember a quiz similar to this one: <a href="http://www.blogthings.com/howdidyouryearratequiz/" target="_blank">How Did Your Year Rate?</a> I think the new quiz is a big improvement, but you may disagree. If you have time, take both and tell me what you think <img src='http://blog.blogthings.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  Oh, and early Happy New Year!!!</p>

<p>Do you ever have one of those days where you feel totally blah and unproductive? I have them all the time! I have found that instead of fighting against those days, it&#8217;s better to lean into them a little. The more compassionate I am with myself, the better the day goes. I got to thinking about this, and it seems to me that everyone else has a phrase that gets them through the day. What about you? Take my latest quiz to find out: <a href="http://www.blogthings.com/whatsyourmotivationalphrasequiz/" target="_blank">What&#8217;s Your Motivational Phrase?</a></p>

Are you a big gambler? I admit that I&#8217;m not a huge fan of traditional gambling, but I think slot machines are cool. I love all the symbols, and I&#8217;ve always wondered what they could mean. It turns out that they have a pretty interesting history&#8230; did you know that the BAR symbol is derived from an old gum company logo? Anyway, here&#8217;s my latest quiz dedicated to this crazy machines&#8230;<a href="http://www.blogthings.com/whatslotmachinesymbolareyouquiz/" target="_blank">What Slot Machine Symbol Are You?</a></p>
<p>What do you think of this quiz? I&#8217;m curious to know, what&#8217;s the biggest gamble you&#8217;re willing to take?</p>

Do you have a holiday sweater or two that you love to wear? I do! And I hope they&#8217;re not too ugly <img src='http://blog.blogthings.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  I designed this quiz because I love Christmas sweaters / holiday sweaters / winter themed sweaters. I decided to include cute sweaters as opposed to ugly ones, because no one usually wants to choose their favorite ugly picture. (At least I don&#8217;t!) Take this quiz, and learn about how you are during the holidays: <a href="http://www.blogthings.com/thechristmassweatertest/" target="_blank">The Christmas Sweater Test</a></p>
<p>Just to let everyone know, you definitely don&#8217;t have to celebrate Christmas to take this quiz. Everyone should be able to enjoy it, regardless of what you do and don&#8217;t celebrate. Hope you like it <img src='http://blog.blogthings.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
