Sorta' Crunchy

Ever take one of those online quizzes to determine your "crunchy"-ness?
You know, hybrid-drivin', granola-makin', cloth diaperin', veggie gardenin'...okay, you get the idea.

I am not a huge fan of online quizzes...most of them are quite silly and pointless in my opinion. However, I was curious where I would fall on the crunchy scale.

I was kind of disappointed. I thought I'd be more crunchy. I wasn't even middle-of-the-road!
I thought surely raising chickens would be worth something...nope! Nada, zip, zilch.

Fine! I'll make my own crunchy quiz.

Join in if you'd like and post your score in the comment section.

LOL!! I think homeschooling should count for something. If I wasn't spending time teaching, I'd have more time to do some of the others! HA!!

Great job with the quiz!

Danielle said...

I just made it into the "Can't deny the crunch" category! :)

Zoanna said...

15 also. Agree that homeschooling should make the crunchy list, 1 point per year to give me a score off the charts!

Seems I'm w/ the majority of quiz takers so far: "can't deny the crunch". Funny quiz, Krista. :)

23 - if it wasn't for my mini-van, I might have been "totally nutty"! Cute quiz!

Momma Roar & Zoanna:
Noted and revised--how could I have forgotten this category?

Jean said...

Since I am almost 59 and have many years to consider, I chose the numbers for the things I had done at some point in my life. I ended up with 28, totally nuttty!

Don't tell those homeschoolers that I only homechooled one year, hahaha!! But I did indeed give birth at home, washed all my own diapers, breastfed longer than you can imagine, bought whole milk from the farm, etc, etc. I was quite the mother earth!!

Here's another question you can add. Do you buy disposable wipes or make your own wipe solution. :) I made my own the other day. Amazing all the uses one can find for vinegar! LOL!
