Oh the nifty facts one can learn in a Reader's Digest!

According to the United Health Foundation the top ten healthiest states are (drumroll please)...

1. Minnesota (woo-hoo, go MN!)
2. New Hampshire
3. Vermont
4. Hawaii (since we seem to be told these days that stress is the root of all evil, you'd think Hawaii would have managed to at least be in the top 3)
5. Utah
6. Massachusetts
7. North Dakota
8. Connecticut
9. Wisconsin
10. Maine

Sadly, Illinois did not make the list, luckily we're not on the list of top ten least healthy states either, which was headed up by Louisiana.

Interesting fact #2, "There are over 40,000 Chinese restaurants in the United States, more than the number of McDonald's, Wendy's and Burger King combined." But before you get too excited about that, I have to warn that their source was "Chinese Restaurant News."

Well, that's about all I've got, just wanted to share ;).

My first real Valentine's Day bouquet!!

I'm so excited :). I've never gotten flowers sent to me before, totally made up for the front desk calling to tell me they'd been delivered 2 hours before I was planning to wake up :P.

According to this quiz, I'm a catch! :)

eXpressive: 7/10
Practical: 6/10
Physical: 4/10
Giver: 8/10

You are a XPIG--Expressive Practical Intellectual Giver. This makes you a Catch.

You are a magazine-cover, matinee idol dreamboat. Parents love you and want to set you up with their kids. However, first dates are tough because it takes time for your qualities to come out.

You are generous and kind. You think first and act later. You are cool in a conflict, but your practical side means if your partner throws out emotional appeals ("why can't we do what I want for a change?") they will grate on your nerves, even when the conflict is resolved.

You're a romantic. You enjoy the thrill of the hunt, and you don't just fall into bed with anyone. You pay close attention to your significant other's needs, and this makes you an excellent lover and partner. The problem is that your friends and lovers may find it so easy to express things to *you* that they lose sight of whether you feel as comfortable with *them*! This doesn't necessarily make you feel under-appreciated -- you're too well-adjusted and self-aware for that -- but you may feel restless. Thus you seek adventure in your life outside the relationship to prove and actualize yourself.

Of all the types, you would make the best parent.

You are coiffed.

Didja see "Big Fish"? 'Cause you're like Ewan MacGregor in "Big Fish."
