Peridot Says You Are Forward-Thinking

You are a very broad thinker. You like to think about possibilities, and you have a unique take on problems. You are a big fan of new beginnings. You feel like you have already led many different lives in this lifetime.

Peridot is thought to bring vitality. You can breathe life into anything; you are big on makeovers. You nurture personal growth - both in yourself and others. You believe that problems can be scrapped or fixed.

You go best with a turquoise. You and a turquoise both like to take on challenges and push your limits together! You clash with topaz. You both are a little too intense for your own good. Your chemistry is hot but also flammable.

mcdonald's stroopwafel mcflurry

had this back in july but forgot to post.

it was very meh. when caramel gets cold it clumps together & make's it hard to eat.

burger king's taco

not very good. the shell was kind of hard to chew which they probally do to have it hold up under the heat lamps.

i've had better at taco bell.

burger king's pulled pork king

it's different than the pulled pork sandwiches they had as part of their "summer menu" several years ago. it has pickle chips & crispy onion pieces.

it wasn't too bad. the bbq sauce was kind of spicy though.

chocolate peanut butter pie oreos

i don't know if they're a limited time thing, they probably are.

got them from wal-mart a few days ago. very meh. would not get again.

oreos have been going down-hill for a while. the target & wal-mart versions are better, but they just have original, double filling & sometimes vanilla cookie. wal-mart does have creme brulee, which is pretty good.

google tells me they also have key lime pie  chocolate banana, but the local one doesn't have those.

Ruby Says You Are a Leader

You're the type to take charge - whether it's leading a group or living your life purposefully. You seek power and influence. You refuse to be helpless, and you go after what you want... especially when it comes to love.

Rubies are thought to bring power, authority, and unbridled passion. It's true that you don't let anything stand in your way. Of all the types, you are the most goal oriented. When you set your sights on something, you make sure you get it.

You go best with emerald. Only emeralds can give you total and complete commitment - which is what your jealous self needs to be happy. You clash with amethyst. Amethysts are too aloof and logical for your passionate self. They drive you crazy with jealousy and desire.
