Ode to Deep Dish Butter Cake By Sarah Calvetti Deep dish butter cake Sugary cake Relaxing, fattening, energizing Delight, pleasure, bliss, selfishness Deep dish butter cake Thanks Sarah for your wonderful participation! And you wonderful deep dish butter cake!!!

By Mrs. Gorecki ~Popcorn~ Popcorn...a simple treat, but so comforting! Healthy, warm, dripping with butter and salt...and usually parmesan cheese. The sound of popcorn popping in a hot pot on the stove, the SMELL....the smell and sound of butter sizzling in the pan....and so versatile, too! Add butter and cinnamon and sugar and you have a sweet treat! For a special treat....butter (isn't everything best with real butter?!) and hot, homemade CARAMEL!!!! Oh, what a warm, sweet sticky buttery treat! Then, there is the already famous "chili cheese" popcorn...with warm (again) BUTTER, garlic powder, chili powder, salt and parmesan cheese....delicious! Can't you just smell the popcorn now?! (for those of you who will be at FUSE on Saturday....there will be a big bowl of popcorn waiting for you!) Thank you Mrs. Gorecki for being the first participant! Hopefully, there will be more poems to post in the very near future!

Haha. I just noticed that I always write about food on my blog. I don't even know why...maybe because I love it so much. Any ways... I have found a cure for every afternoon illness known to man... it's simple. It's sitting right there on the counter of most people's homes... it's a coffee pot! Oh my gosh! All you have to do is brew a little coffee, mix it with some chocolate and milk... and you have yourself the best medication ever! Also, while I am on the subject of food, I thought I would write an ode to my last Pirouette Cookie. Here it goes... Ode To The Pirouette Oh there you are sitting in your tin. You wait for me to choose you. You know I'll choose you, because you are the last. Your crispy roundness calls my name. I want to taste of the chocolate hazelnut heaven. I can't believe you are the last. Oh that creamy center that seems to be the best ever. It's soft and sweet. I wish you could last forever. The finger goes in. I pick you up. And in y...

A great Friday evening at the G's NO. I did not fall of the face of the earth. :-) It has been exactly one week since my last post. Fo some of you, I know that it has been rather annoying to look at my Java Chip post with the cucumber picture (I' won't mention any names... you know who you are lol.) But, this week has been an incredibly blessed week in regards to my spiritual life. The reason that I haven't posted in a week is that I wanted to take some time off from blogging to pray for some things. And like Mr. Hetrick's message on Sunday, God has been faithful to meet me in multiples of ways. So there is definitely something to be said for giving God your whole self as a sacrifice to His cause. He will give the desires of your heart, as long as they are within His will! If you desire something, pray and truely seek God on it, and He will be faithful to answer. Here's to another great Tuesday!

A tribute to the lunch I will be having shortly... a delicious salad with sun driend tomato vinagarette dressing! Today is amazing! I got to sleep in until 9:30, and then woke up to kisses form Benjamin! What a happy way to wake up! lol. I have been lounging around all morning and made a homemade Java Chip Frappuccino. They are so much better homemade! No offense to Starbucks, but their coffee is too acidic for my liking. I;'m not saying that I'll never go to Starbucks again, but once again... that home made is so much better :-) Another cool thing is that I get to help with the product bags for the curricculum fair this year. They will be the coolest ever, because I get to pick what goes in it!!! Hopefully all of my ideas will work out. I'm really excited about it!

And I'm doing it right now. I am eatnig ice cream at 11:30 at night... in my bed. I normally don't do so awful a deed, but I figured, eh, what the heck. It's a holiday that currently celebrates my singleness! lol. I'll eat ice cream late at night in my bed today... just because I want to. lol. Then run like 5 miles tomorrow to burn it off. I must asmit that I feel slightly guilty as the little chunks of carmel and chocolatey pecans enter my mouth and I know that it's going to go straight to my hips, but like I said... it's justifyable for tonight because I never do it otherwise, and I eat pretty healthily most of the time. So. I try. I try real hard. But today was an exception. :-) I also have to account for the half a thing of cheese fries I shared with my bro and friends this afternoon... It wasn't all me. But it was mostly. Hey. It was my lunch. Another year of happy and contented singleness is here and now! (Working on the contentedness. l...

After a couple of days of trying to sit down and write my psyc. paper, quietness finally came this afternoon! I am so glad to finally have it off my plate. Here it is if any of you would like to read it... The Brain and Aggressive Behavior The brain can be held responsible for everything that ever goes on in the human body. It plays a huge role in our daily lives because it is what controls our behavior and interactions with other humans. Depending on the situation, the brain can respond to a stimulus in either a positive or negative way. When the brain responds negatively and causes a person to act out in anger or violence, it is called aggression. There are two portions of the brain that handle aggression and the response to an aggressive stimulus, the frontal lobe and the serotonin, a brain chemical. The frontal lobe of the brain is in charge of many diverse tasks such as motor skills, blinking, and holding the information necessary for personality. One of the first developme...
