ooh. i have had more of an excuse to eat ice cream in the last two days...
my birthday of course, but then my oldest has come down with some vile flu bug which is making her throat sore.
the pitiful conversation:
"mooooom. my throat hurts. i can't swallow. pleeeeeeze can you go get me some ice cream?"
"does it really hurt that bad, baby?"
"yeeeees. it does. and i'm sweatiiiiing."
"okay. we'll get ice cream. but only if you swallow the advil."
*insert visual of 10 year old rolling her eyes here"i guess i have to" *huge exasperated sigh*
"i guess you will. take your medicine or no ice cream."
ahhhh blackmail. the joys of being a mother.
About Us
about 
Our Mascot, Alice, may she rest in peace 
It's all Maria's fault. She loves ice cream and uses it to seduce people. And we've all been seduced. By the ice cream, not by Maria. But we've all since realized that ice cream has become an excellent compensation for our sexual frustrations. We even have our own theme song. So here's where we shall describe, in excrutiatingly sensuous detail, our ice cream escapades.

A word about ICF
(Ice Cream Factor):
Ice Cream consumption increases with sexual frustration. The higher the ICF, the more ice cream consumed. 'Nuff said.
