Today First Husband, Big Sister and Baby brother pulled out all the stops and for Mother's Day, they bought me an IPOD and ITunes music credit!!! This as a "reward" "incentive" because I have been going to the gym every day for the past four weeks.
And as if that weren't enough, First Husband loaded my mix CD on the IPOD! Needless to say, I was in tears... They scored MEGA points this morning...
Sometimes, the surprise is overwhelming...

Pure Nerd
I'm not so sure this is a good thing...
65 % Nerd, 30% Geek, 30% Dork
For The Record:
A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.
A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.
A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.
You scored better than half in Nerd, earning you the title of: Pure Nerd.
The times, they are a-changing. It used to be that being exceptionally smart led to being unpopular, which would ultimately lead to picking up all of the traits and tendences associated with the "dork." No-longer. Being smart isn't as socially crippling as it once was, and even more so as you get older: eventually being a Pure Nerd will likely be replaced with the following label: Purely Successful.
THE NERD? GEEK? OR DORK? TEST
