Weekend Recap & A Little Bit of Oreo Fun

Not too much to report from our weekend. Instead of heading for a visit to Vegas like we wanted we ended up enjoying a restful weekend at home. Basically we worked around the house, yard work, laundry, cleaning the floors, all the basic chores. We did venture out for a bit both days to snoop around the new shops in Riverpark (we're VERY happy to now have an REI and really want to go camping now!) and shops in Old Town Clovis. Big Boy was especially excited about a shop we found in Old Town Clovis, Roy's Trains! They had every Thomas thing imaginable, including cake pans! It wasn't easy to herd Big Boy and Boopy out of the store. Perhaps Santa will need to make a shopping stop there.

Sorry no pictures to share but I'm sure I'll torture the kids throughout the week. Big Boy has his first field trip with preschool tomorrow that I'm hoping to tag along on. They are going to the Pumpkin Patch, which should provide a plethora of picture opportunities! :)

Until my next post, enjoy this little bit of Oreo fun I received in an email from my old boss. Anyone that knows my love for Oreos knows I couldn't resist looking at this one!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Psychologists have discovered that the manner in which people eat Oreo cookies provides great insight into their personalities.

Choose which method best describes your favorite method of eating Oreos:

1. The whole thing all at once.
2. One bite at a time.
3. Slow and methodical nibbles examining the results of each bite afterwards.
4. In little feverish nibbles.
5. Dunked in some liquid (milk, coffee...).
6. Twisted apart, the inside, then the cookie.
7. Twisted apart, the inside, and toss the cookie.
8. Just the cookie, not the inside.
9. I just like to lick them, not eat them.
10. I don't have a favorite way because I don't like Oreo.

Your Personality:
1. The whole thing. This means you consume life with abandon, you are fun to be with, exciting, carefree with some hint of recklessness. You are totally irresponsible. No one should trust you with their Children.

2. One bite at a time. You are lucky to be one of the 5.4 billion other people who eat their Oreos this very same way. Just like them,You lack imagination, but that's okay, not to worry, you're normal.

3. Slow and methodical. You follow the rules. You're very tidy and orderly. You're very meticulous in every detail with every thing you do to the point of being anal retentive and irritating to others. Stay out of the fast lane if you're only going to go the speed limit.

4. Feverish nibbles. Your boss likes you because you get your work done quickly. You always have a million things to do and never enough time to do them. Mental breakdowns and suicides run in your family. Valium and Ritalin would do you good.

5. Dunked. Every one likes you because you are always up beat. You like to sugar coat unpleasant experiences and rationalize bad situations into good ones. You are in total denial about the shambles you call a life. You have a propensity towards narcotic addiction.

6. Twisted apart, the inside, and then the cookie. You have a highly curious nature. You take pleasure in breaking things apart to find out how they work, though not always able to put them back together,So you destroy all the evidence of your activities. You deny your involvement when things go wrong. You are a compulsive liar and exhibit deviant, if not criminal, behavior.

7. Twisted apart, the inside, and then toss the cookie. You are good at business and take risk that pay off. You take what you want and throw the rest away. You are greedy, selfish, mean, and lack feelings for others. You should be ashamed of yourself. But that's ok, you don't care, you got yours.

8. Just the cookie, not the inside You enjoy pain.

9. I just like to lick them, not eat them. Stay away from small furry animals and seek professional medical help - immediately.

10. I don't have a favorite way, I don't like Oreo cookies. You probably come from a rich family, and like to wear nice things, and go to up-scale restaurants. You are particular and fussy about the things you buy, own, and wear. Things have to be just right. You like to be pampered. You are a prim.

I'm #5, Dunked in some sort of liquid. Not sure the personality fits me.. :) Sometimes my life does feel likes a bit in shambles, but then I think it can't be that bad, it always works out, so chin up, smile and just worry about today! So, which one are you (I hope it's not #10)?

Oreos...I'll admit to being a 10, mostly. When I do eat them, I'm a 2. Can't really disagree with "like to wear nice things, and go to up-scale restaurants." The bike ride looks so much FUN!!
