i need feedback.

Photobucket


{these photos have nothing to do with anything. i didn't want to do another post without a picture. but hey, look how much my mint has grown! and there are actually little baby tomatoes on my tomato plant!}

back to business...

1. let's say you're an elementary school teacher. you're calling roll on the first day of class and you come to the name maisy. how do you pronounce it?

a. may-see
b. may-zee

2. who is your favorite on the bachelorette? i have to say that frank is still my favorite, even if he's been a little crazy the last couple of weeks. calm down, buddy. you knew what you were getting into. my prediction for the top four: frank, roberto, kirk {blah}, and cape cod guy. i can never remember his name. p.s. i don't get why craig is still in the running, but how awesome was his tattoo joke? ha!

3. tonight i went and got chinese takeout. for myself. i called it in, i picked it up, and i ate it. all. sean didn't want any. are you grossed out? i am.

i'll appreciate your comments :)

love, ariel

I'd go for Mai-see. Like daisy with an m. But either way, a teacher probably wouldn't be too far off. Unlike a girl I went to jr. high with whose name was AnnGail and I didn't know how the heck to pronounce it. Turns out it was "angel."

Rachel said...

may-see

Janessa Taylor said...

Pretty sure I'd say "Mai-zee"...and I'm pretty good about pronouncing names :) Yeah, no one will say it like "Macey" with the s sound instead of the z. I'm thinking of either Nina, Violet, or maybe Elise... my husband is so difficult though :) Not watching Bach this season--I'm over it. It's lame--I mean, it has always been, but I just don't feel like it this time, although I hear it's hilarious! TOTALLY got Chinese for myself a few months ago when I was in the first tri. Gross. Yeah.

Coopers said...

may-zee.

Jamie said...

I think I would say Mai-see too. But they sould similar enough, it may not matter.

I liked Frank but he has been a crazy head. I like Roberto more and more every episode. I agree with your top 4 too. Do you think it's Justin with the girlfriend next episode? He's lame

ariel said...

it's totally justin with a girlfriend. i didn't hate him until this last episode. he's ridiculous.

Caprene said...

mai-see - i pronounce things how they are spelled.

I don't watch the bachelor, sorry.

Tatum Wheeler said...

Having been an elementary school teacher and a perma sub my first thought was May-zee

Adrienne said...

b. may-zee i don't have a favorite on the bachelorette I'm just glad weatherman is gone he stressed me out

Tiffany said...

I think I would say May-see too. I'm not sure though- I have contemplated it too much. I liked Frank a lot too- but someone told me HE has a girlfriend at home too. I think it would be funny if that guy who never gets ANY screen time ends up with her. Who is he?!??! ...

Anonymous said...

I would probably say may-zee.

Dana Willis said...

B. May-zee like the children books. That is how I would pronounce it:)

Not watching Bachelorette right now.

Chinese food is ok. Not grossed out though.

:)

Sean said...

This is why I want the Z. I have heard that both Rated R and Frank have girlfriends and a new series called the bachelor pad is coming out with all the All Stars including my favorite Wes. It sounds a lot like Big Brother.

Dagley Family said...

May-ZEE> We have a neigbor girl whose name is spelled Maisey and they pronounce it May-zee. Don't you think no matter how it is spelled you are going to have to explain how to say it anyways. Take Kelty for example - When we call her name or tell people her name they think we are saying Kelsey because their dumb brains shut off after hearing Kel and they think they already know it is Kelsey until I correct them. They see Teagan's name and think it is pronounced TAYGEN! When hello it is spelled like TEA and so you should know to say TEA and then GAN. And well Campbell she is a whole differnt story. People think why would you name her kid Campbell? So Ariel spell it how you want to.

Dani said...

I would say May-zee. Cute name.

I like Chris (Cape Cod guy) the best. They seem to fit. I agree with your last 4 prediction.
And is it just me, or does Ali get more annoying each episode. She needs to tone down the giggling, it gives me a headache.

ariel said...

haha! dani, she does get more and more annoying. her whiney baby voice kills me.

dave + kirst said...

A few thoughts:

1- Ariel I think it really could be pronounced either way just by looking at it. MY name is never pronounced correctly even by people who have known me my whole life... (aunts, aunts, aunts - you know who you are). I suggest making your child's life easier and spell it how you want it pronounced because it gets old correcting people all the time. But whatevs.

2- I got sushi last night all by myself and LOVED it :D So don't feel bad. Dave didn't eat any either (surprise, surprise).

3- Agree with the top 4 on Bach. I think the guy who got really sick is her best match, although not my fav. And I think she's getting increasingly hard to watch when she laughs at everything and talks REALLY whinny...

Enough of my thoughts ;D

Hilary said...

I would say May-zee.

My favorite bachelor is by far Roberto! He is hot! Hope she ends up with him.

Not grossed out at all by the Chinese food!

Mrs MacKenzie said...

I'd say it like Daisy but with an M. If you spelled it Macey, I would pronounce it May-see.

My favorite on the Bachelor is Chris L. Hes cute. Justin is the one with the girlfriend who calls to rat him out. Frank leaves the show a bit later because he realizes he is still in love with an ex girlfriend. The top two are Roberto and Chris L, but she chooses neither! At least thats what I read on RealitySteve's blog.

Gina said...

well i'm a little biased because right when i read it, the way you want it pronounced was the way i said it in my head. but, that aside - i think i would still read it as mai-zee, because that's how you say daisy, right? day-zee? not really day-see. duno, maybe you should take kirsten's advice though if you're really concerned about it. she's been there, done that.

oh and my favorite bachelor is chris l. (cape cod guy) because he seems like a keeper and that he'll keep her. ya know? and right now that is what she is most worried about - being loved back. and i think that's the guy who will be the most honest, real, and sincere. just wish his kisses weren't so awkward. :)

and goodbye to kasey! bleh! i was so embarrased for him every time he spoke. if i have to hear one more "i'll guard your heart" i'm gonna spew.

ariel said...

oh my, gina, his kisses ARE awkward! he looks like he's pecking at her face like a chicken.

Heidi said...

May-zee is this teacher's first reaction. Very cute.

My vote is still Frank also. Cape Cod guy is a solid catch. I think that she would get bored with Kurt--not too much substance and too physical. BTW, Jake and Vienna just called it quits and it has to be because they were just too grabby with each other couldn't keep that momentum up. Kasey is straight from Dr. Phil.."What were you thinking?!"

Ann said...

may-zee.

Kim said...

he he.. i like this post. Frank is BY FAR my favorite. i love him. i also like Chris. Im so happy Krazy Kasey is gone!!

Rachelle said...

#1. i think i would pronounce it with the "z".
#2. i can't pick yet!
#3. you go girl! not grossed out. if it was a jar of pickled pigs feet or something like that, then i would be grossed out.
