It was fun reading your answers and getting to know you better.
I believe I did this same quiz a long time ago. Someone sent it to my daughter on Facebook or something and she put it up on her blog and then a bunch of us did it. (I think that's what happened anyway)
You are right. I got this from Rising Rainbow Arabian blog from sometime in 2009. I thought it looked like fun. I love your blog!
