WHAT KIND OF CAKE ARE YOU???

If all of the desserts listed below were sitting in front of you....which would you choose?
Choose one & see what Psychiatrists think about you.

(Sorry....you can only pick one dessert. And do not scroll down below the list UNTIL you make your choice!)

1. Angel Food Cake
2. Brownies
3. Lemon Meringue
4. Vanilla Cake w/Chocolate Icing
5. Strawberry Shortcake
6. Chocolate on Chocolate
7. Ice Cream
8. Carrot Cake

NO.... you can't change your mind once you scroll down! So think carefully what your choice will be....ok?

Now that you have made your choice..... this is what research says about you!

1. ANGEL FOOD CAKE ...Sweet, loving, cuddly. You love all warm & 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, 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 directions. You tend to be very loyal.

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

4. VANILLA CAKEw/CHOCOLATE ICING......Fun-loving, sassy, humorous. Not very grounded in life; very indecisive & 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, loving. You care about other people, can be counted on in a pinch & expect the same in return. Intuitively keen, can be very emotional.

6. CHOCOLATE ON CHOCOLATE.......Sexy; always ready to give and receive. 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 & 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 area very warm hearted person & a little quirky at times. You have many loyal friends.
I am a "STRAWBERRY SHORT CAKE".

Made it home safely to Kelowna. Roads were good for traveling. It is +7 in Kelowna today.

Happy Weekend :O)

BEFORE AND AFTER


Long thick wet hair hanging down to the waist.



Oh look............this is my daughter, Sharilin. She cut off 11 inches of hair today. I went with her to the hairdresser and held her hand as the stylist chopped away. She grew out her hair long so that she could have it cut it off and donated it to a company that makes wigs for others that have lost their hair.

WAY TO GO Sharilin!!! I am so proud of you!!!

Not much is new in Cow Town. Heading out on the road again on Thursday. Keep us covered in prayer as we travel to BC over winter roads.

Only 16 more sleeps and the golf course opens for the season and I am a working girl again...woo hoo. Only 25 more sleeps until Car Racing Season starts.............vrm...vrm.

PRAYER REQUEST:

As of Wednesday, March 15th @ 5:00pm, in Saskatoon; my family was involved in a serious motor vehicle accident. My sister, brother-in-law, and two nephews were stopped at a red light when a vehicle behind them failed to stop. The vehicle is a write off and each one is suffering with headaches and whip lash. Pray for the legalities involved with a motor vehicle accident and for each persons' health.

H.E.L.L.O

HELLO everyone. I have missed you. My computer was very very sick and had to go in for major surgery. Thank you Dr. da Prince for performing life saving surgery. I think the computer is on its way to a full recovery.

Have you ever thought what the word "HELLO" stands for? Read on....

Do you know that a simple "hello" can be a sweet one?

The word H E L L O means:

H=How are you?
E=Everything alright?
L=Like to hear from you.
L=Love to see you soon!
O=Obviously, you are my friend...so...HELLO!





This is a Swan Rose Bowl bouquet thingy that da Prince received from his Princess. Thought I would share it with you.

Happy Snowy Weekend.

CHOCOLATE IS A VEGETABLE

F.Y.I
Chocolate is a Vegetable.

Other little known Chocolate facts:

Chocolate is derived from cacao beans. Bean = vegetable. Sugar is derived from either sugar CANE or sugar BEETS. Both are plants, which places them in the vegetable category. Thus, chocolate is a vegetable.

To go one step further, chocolate candy bars also contain milk, which is dairy product. So candy bars are a health food.

Chocolate-covered raisins, cherries, orange slices and strawberries all count as fruit; so eat as many as you want.

If you've got melted chocolate all over your hands, you're eating it too slowly.

>Problem: How to get 2 pounds of chocolate home from the store in a hot car. The solution: Eat it in the parking lot.

>Diet tip: Eat a chocolate bar before each meal. It'll take the edge off your appetite, and you'll eat less.

>If calories are an issue, store your chocolate on top of the fridge. Calories are afraid of heights, and they will jump out of the chocolate to protect themselves. (We're testing this with other snack foods as well.)

>If I eat equal amounts of dark chocolate and white chocolate, is that a balanced diet? Don't they actually counteract each other?

>Chocolate has many preservatives. Preservatives make you look younger. Therefore, you need to eat more chocolate.

>Put "eat chocolate" at the top of your list of things to do today. That way, at least you'll get one thing done.

>A nice box of chocolates can provide your total daily intake of calories in one place. Now, isn't that handy?

>If you can't eat all your chocolate, it will keep in the freezer. But if you can't eat all your chocolate, what's wrong with you?

>If not for chocolate, there would be no need for control top pantyhose. An entire garment industry would be devastated. You can't let that happen, can you?

NEWS FLASH: "Stressed" spelled backward is "desserts." So, to reverse being "stressed" . . . CHOCOLATE!!!
Today's lesson: Chocolate is good for you.............so indulge!!!! NO GUILT!!!
BY THE WAY: >Only 25 more sleeps and the golf course opens. That means my life of leisure and running around like a gypsy is over. Back to being a working girl. >Only 34 more sleeps and car racing season starts.........woo hoo!!!

Ever been sitting at your computer desk, when you have the need for a good cup of coffee?Mmm good...the taste and smell. Let me show you what happens when you get out of your computer chair to go brew a pot of coffee.





"That's OK , I will keep your chair warm while you get a coffee!"(says the cat) Then the cat says:"Good luck you ain't getting this chair back. If you make me move I will shred your beautiful leather chair to pieces."

I need a portable humidifer for our home.Guess what I found today? Look what is in The Bay flyer today.



Can you believe what you are seeing? It is a FROG HUMIDIFER!!! How amazing is that?My two favorite things in the world are frogs and princes.

I had a manicure today. After the manicure I came home and made my nails look pretty. Here is a picture of my nails.

Only 28 more sleeps until the golf course opens...I'm so excited!!!

Only 37 more sleeps until Champ Car Racing's first race of the season...vrrrm.

Only 56 sleeps until Blocks' move back to Canada.
