desert or dessert?

i remember when i was littler, to help me differentiate spelling with desert (the place) and dessert (the food), mom would tell me dessert is with two s's cause you always want more dessert. isn't that the case. well, i'm missing everyone's comments, so i decided to do a little questionnaire on dessert to get some participation. i saw this and thought it was fun.


If all of the desserts listed below were sitting in front of you, which would you choose ?? Just go with your first instinct, the first dessert you choose. Pick your dessert, and then look to see what psychiatrists think about you.

Here are your choices:
1. Angel Food Cake
2. Brownies
3. Lemon Meringue Pie
4. Vanilla Cake With Chocolate Icing
5. Strawberry Short Cake
6. Chocolate on Chocolate
7. Ice Cream
8. Carrot Cake
------------------------


1 ANGEL FOOD CAKE -- Sweet, loving, cuddly. You love all warm and fuzzy items. A little nutty at times! Sometimes you need an ice cream cone at the end of the day. Others perceive you as being childlike and immature at times.

2. BROWNIES - - You are adventurous, love new ideas, and are a champion of underdogs and a slayer of dragons. When tempers flare up you whip out your saber. You are always the oddball with a unique sense of humor and direction. You tend to be very loyal.

3. LEMON MERINGUE -- Smooth & articulate with your hands, you are an excellent after-dinner speaker and a good teacher. But don't try to walk and chew gum at the same time. A bit of a diva at times, but you have many friends..

4. VANILLA CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE ICING -- Fun-loving, sassy, humorous, not very grounded in life; very indecisive and lack motivation. Everyone enjoys being around you, but you are a practical joker. Others should be cautious in making you mad. However, you are a friend for life.

5. STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE -- Romantic, warm, and loving. You care about other people, can be counted on in a pinch and expect the same in return. Intuitively keen, and can be very emotional.

6. CHOCOLATE ON CHOCOLATE -- Very creative, adventurous, ambitious, and passionate. You can appear to have a cold exterior but are warm on the inside. Not afraid to take chances. Will not settle for anything average in life. Love to laugh.

7. ICE CREAM -- You like sports, whether it be baseball, football, basketball, or soccer. If you could, you would like to participate, but you enjoy watching sports. You don't like to give up the remote control. You tend to be self-centered and high maintenance.

8. CARROT CAKE -- You are a very fun loving person, who likes to laugh. You are fun to be with. People like to hang out with you. You are a very warm hearted person and a little quirky at times. You have many loyal friends.


so which one are you?! i would pick the brownies.

what's for dinner?

we've given the blog an extreme easter makeover. i don't expect it to last long as you pretty much need sunglasses to look at it. but, i'm excited about easter. this is the only time of year that i eat peeps, which i love, but it freaks me out when they make them for every other holiday.

a thank you to everyone who answered my previous question. makes sense.

we've been busy around here lately...hanging out with friends, baby showers (meg), fantasy baseball drafts (matt), work, photoing, and celebrating matt's 1/2 birthday (thanks mom for the cookie cake). and things don't seem to be slowing down in the near future.

i made this recipe for dinner last night that i got from real simple, and let me tell you, it was really simple. but, i had a problem with the cheese and chicken sticking together. if you make it and find a solution, let me know. and also, if you have any good recipes that don't include tomatoes, onions, potatoes(all the things matt doesn't like) please let me know. i'm always in need of some new dinner ideas.

if i don't blog before this weekend, everyone have a lovely easter!

oh bother...

something i just thought of that has been bothering me...

why does 'otherwise known as' mean 'aka?' shouldn't it be 'oka?'

someone enlighten me.

good weekend.

update:thank you charity campbell for answering my question.

i have been trying to come up with something exciting to post, but it's been pretty boring around here. here is what we've been up to.

-this past monday, i had to get a colonoscopy and endoscopy done because of some abdominal pain i've been having (no, i'm not pregnant). we'll see what the results will be. i'd appreciate your prayers cause i haven't been feeling too well this week.

-i had a premiere party with jenny.
-matt worked out and now can't walk.
-i booked my first official wedding!
-i haven't taken many pictures lately due to my computer being out of memory :)
-set a date to take ange and jer's engagement pictures.
-went to get our bridesmaids dresses for ange and jer's wedding!
-editing ben and em's wedding photos.
-yelling 'hoodie hoo.'
-missing london.
-and that pound cake i made...not so much.
-organizing the department a little more.
-getting ready for our grow retreat next weekend.
-husband has been leaving me notes in the morning with different psalms to read, which has really blessed me.
-mom came and rescued me today from the snow.
-and my birthday week has commenced. which is definitely the greatest.

i hope you all are surviving the 'winter storm!'

four more years.

today i called the white house to wish mr. bush a happy president's day, but they wouldn't let me talk to him. they said they would pass along the message.

haapy

this is the note matt left me on our bathroom mirror this morning. it says, 'you are the dearest woman in the...and then he drew a picture of the earth for world. i <3 you.' isn't he cutest. i love him. valentine's day is going to last two days for us. we're having a quiet night here at home where he's making me dinner and going to watch a chick flick : ) all his idea. and then tomorrow we have a big night out on the town planned and will end in going to one of our favorite places to eat, the melting pot. i can't believe it's our second valentine's day together married.

happy valentine's to all! and an extra special one to the newlyweds upstairs.

i gotta get back to watching oprah's valentine's day show and making pound cake. good stuff.
