Hierarchy of Treats

Ok I know what you are thinking...enough of the treats already! I understand but this is more research based and it is something that I have pondered over many years...In my mind there is a hierarchy of treats for instance if you were given the following categories of treats in which order would you choose to eat them?
In no particular order:
Cake
Ice cream
Pie
Cookies
Chocolates
Candy (like gummies etc.)
Pastries
Brownies

ps. all of these are the very top make of their field i.e. the best cookies you ever ate ect...
Here is my own preference:
Cake (of course)
Candy
Cookies
Brownies
Chocolates
Pastries
Ice cream
Pie

I'm curious to see what you will all say...feel free to leave your personal hierarchy of treats. If you don't want to comment on the blog email me, its in the name of research!

I heart Valentine's Day

Every year February 14th rolls around and I hear the same old blah-dom: Beloved Valentine's Day is turned into the cynical SAD, Single's Awareness Day. I really don't understand this sentiment because honestly listen people: Its a day of free CANDY! There is nothing sad about that at all. Sometimes my mom even bakes me her famous valentine's sugar cookies (very fat and soft with lots of homemade icing) and, I am happy to inform you all, that this year she has promised to abandon her trade embargo with sugar and is making me a heart-shaped CAKE! Yippee!! However lest you think that all I think about is treats(mmmm...that brownie I had at lunch today was very delish) I am going to tell you a truly sad valentine's tale...
It occurred a few Valentine's days ago...I had just found out that an exboyfriend, for whom I still had lingering feelings, was now seriously dating a new girl who we shall call...Pig Girl. My little brother had also just broken up with his girlfriend the week before and was in serious sheer desperadoes. On the morning of Love Day I thought that I would be a sweet older sister and give my lil bro a call. Perhaps we could combat our broken hearts by finding joy in the sibling bond? I suggested that we could be each other's valentines because of our similar sad positions to which he heartily agreed. It made me feel better that no matter what sort of pig love was brewing in the big pig pen of life I could always count on my cute little brother to be there for me...
Sadly enough I found out from my sister a week later that Bryce had made amends with his girlfriend the night before and felt too sorry for me to tell me the truth...
Oh well, did I mention that I'm getting a heart-shaped cake?! Yippee!
