Fresh Strawberries!
So Cheryl and I were hanging out yesterday, finishing up those last few Keith's she brought me from Canada and watching movies. We watched "Chopper Chicks in Zombie Town" and "The X-Files" movie. Cheryl brought a quart of fresh-picked strawberries that her mom had picked earlier that day. So after our pizza, which resembled the guts the zombies were eating on TV, we decided that Abbott's Vanilla custard would go beautifully with those berries.
We drove like maddogs to Abbott's and had to stand behind some ditzhead prozac wife who wore a size fucking zero, which about matched her IQ. We got our pint and speeded off home. First the ice cream, then the strawberries, cut all into bite-size pieces, then the HOT FUDGE I just happened to have in the fridge, and Cheryl even had the foresight to bring cool-whip! MMMMMMMMMMM. I shoulda put bananas and walnuts on 'em too, but I was delirious just thinking about them strawberries.

I Ate a Turtle
In between driving back from Albany and leaving Rochester for Jamestown, my parents, Matt, and I made a "quick" dinner stop at the Seabreeze Bill Gray's. My dessert was a chocolate turtle. I would have gotten vanilla but the very slow cashier told me they were out (even though she was told to look in the back and she seemed rather confused as to where "the back" may be). Anyway, I looked around to see if I would be lucky enough to spot any of you Goils, but no such luck. If you were there around 7pm tonight, then we missed each other by moments. Turtle was quite yummy even though I got some chocolate on my skirt. That's life.

Better Late than never
I forgot I needed to blog my Root beer float experience on the blog. I went to Gay Pride with my friends last Sunday and it was sooooo hot outside. They have this really annoying ticket system for the vendors wherein you have to purchase tickets in advance and then give them to the food stands as money. Now whoever planned this underhanded scam thought they were brilliant because inevitably you always end up with less tickets than you need to buy whatever you want so you have to either give them up or to someone else. HA HA, or so they thought!
It was sooo hot (like I said) and I was dying for some ice cream. The ice cream stand had a line that never ended and I really needed some instant gratification. Just when I was about to give up and faint I saw a glimmer of hope. There was a stand at the end of the parkway with a tiny little sign that said Root beer float 7 tickets. Now I don't even like root beer but I was desperate! I frantically dug in my pockets to find out how many tickets I had... 6! 1 short! I wanted to cry, 1 ticket away from the object of my concupiscence! I went over to the lady at the stand, quite distressed and told her my situation. After some pleading and with great kindness the fair lady relented and handed me over the best root beer float ever in life.

Just Checking In...
I, glutton for punishment that I am, babysat my two nephews yesterday from 8:45 am, until 5 o' clock. my nephews are 3 and 4 years old. (like 15 months apart i think...) ANYwhooo... after hauling ALL four kids with me to the bank and the grocery store ( i was the recipient of many a blue-haired stare) i decided we needed to celebrate the fact that no one DIED, and i did not comiit murder or suicide, with carton of chocolate and a carton of cotton candy ice cream. i think my 3 year old nephew has the right idea... his ice cream was gone, so he stuck his face in the bowl (like a dog) and licked it clean. he had a chocolate ring around his little face. looked really good with his little buzzed haircut.
btw...chocolate and cotton candy are a good flavor combination. ;)

Not Really Ice Cream
I wonder if I'm committing ice cream treason. Eddy's had those frozen whole fruit bars on sale at Weggies, so I bought the lemon and tangerine kinds since I love how lemon ice tastes on a real hot day. Real refreshing. Well, since I bought those, I probably won't be buying any ice cream for a bit since I don't go through frozen stuff to fast. Too much of it in my freezer usually equates freezer burn. Anyway, I made up for this by consuming my last bits of Ben & Jerry's natural vanilla and then started in on my Eddy's French Vanilla ice cream.

Spontaneous Ice Cream
I'm in Buffalo today, hanging around until tomorrow when I can get my gas-leaking-hazmat-ready-to-explode car fixed. So today I drove around, defying the gods, hanging up posters of my gig next week all over town. So I was done and thought maybe I'll call my buddy El and see if she wants to have lunch. And I call and call, and her phone is busy. And I know her. She's online.
So I just drove to her dang house unannounced, and there she was, sitting at her computer at 3:00, still in her jammies, playing games. And I said, El, this is why I love you! You don't have a life either!!! Yaaaay! Maybe we should change this whole blog concept to "Sexy women who hang with their computers on Saturday nights". hmmmm.... but anyway, she got back at me for this snide comment, because she read my other blog where my mom almost caught me diddling myself, and she says "Dude, you're becoming George Costanza!" But I digress.
Anyway, I made her get dressed because it is SUCH A NICE DAY OUT and she lives right on the waterfront. And she says "I'll just take a PPF", and I'm all "What?". A PPF! Pussy, Pits and Feet bath. Oh! I call them "Whore baths". My friend calls 'em PTA's - pussy, tits, armpits. Either way, it's all good. I didn't shower today either. But I digress.
So we walk along Lake Erie into the Marina and we go to The Hatch, where you can get greazy food and such. Then we walked all the way down to the tower, then back up to the Hatch's Ice Cream division, where she got a raspberry cheesecake cone, and I got an arctic flurry with heath bar.

Mea Culpa!
Your control-freak benevolent dictator must apologize for the grave delay in archiving the delightful celebration of Maria's birthday, and she begs forgiveness from you all. Of course, if you don't forgive her, she'll just delete you from the blog. It's good to be the queen-bitch!
Your control-freak benevolent dictator must apologize for the grave delay in archiving the delightful celebration of Maria's birthday, and she begs forgiveness from you all. Of course, if you don't forgive her, she'll just delete you from the blog. It's good to be the queen-bitch!
Dateline: Friday, June 13, 2003 -- 11:00 p.m.
Event: Maria's Birthday (I'll let her tell you how old)
Location: Friendly's in Pittsford
In attendance: Maria(duh), Cheryl, Cheryl's Mom BJ, Mary Rose, Lynne, Jessica (who was also celebrating her last day of high school EVER!)
Everyone went to see Suds, The Musical at the theater, since I was playing gee-tar in the pit. After, we blow out of the theater and the opening night festivities of free wine, and head to Friendly's. We enter the Friendly's and it's jam packed. I ask for a child-free zone. What are kids doing up this late anyway? We sat for awhile, then our waitress, Rachele, came over to apologize, saying she and the other waitress weren't sure who's turn it was. Maria says "And you lost the coin toss, right?" Rachele is very nice and puts up with our incessant requests for all kinds of stupid shit.
Cheryl and her mom, BJ
As soon as we're seated, Maria, Jessica and Lynne grab the crayons and start coloring the little cute placemats with little bears eating ice cream on them. So much for a child-free zone! But they're all so adorable anyway. And Maria, being the excellent artist she is, colors magnificently, and even improvizes on the drawings a little. She is sitting there admiring her work when the waitress comes by and sets a 7-UP smack dab on the placemat, right on the bear's little butt. Maria lets out this very high-pitched gasp and her mouth gapes in horror! The waitress, concerned, says "What's the matter?" Maria is speechless and doesn't move. I tell the waitress "You put her wet drink on her artwork!" The waitress apologizes, and offers to bring her a new placemat. I tell her, "You can replace the mat but the artwork cannot be replaced! It's tantamount to spitting on the Mona Lisa!" She has a sense of humor, our Rachele, and she laughs, but is truly contrite. Our Gemini Maria is soon distracted by something else and quickly forgets her trauma.
Jessica and Lynne
At 11:23, Lisa (*dreamy sigh*) calls, and all the girls begin to make fun of me. Apparently my face flushes when Lisa calls. Hmm. They torture me mercilessly, and Lisa talks to Maria for awhile, while I try to regain my natural pasty color. Then Rachele comes by to take our orders. We all order food (except for Cheryl and BJ who ate earlier) because we're so damn hungry. I won't bore you with those details. Burgers, Fries, blah blah blah. So we'll skip to the ice cream part!
Cheryl: her usual - Caramel Fudge Blast
Maria - Lemon Merengue Sundae
Leah - Mud Pie Madness (basically a brownie sundae)
Lynne - Black Raspberry/Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Sundae with M&M's.
BJ - Hot Fudge with Chocolate Almond Chip Sundae
Mary Rose - orders the same as BJ. Mary Rose always gets what someone else gets.
Jessica - Hot Fudge Sundae with NO whipped cream.
We all give our cherries to Maria, so to speak. And she ties all the stems with her tongue!!
The stems in question
So we're eating and are appalled to see that Lynne's scoop of cookie dough ice cream was barely a spoonful. However there are no other complaints, and may I say that those are some of the best brownies I've ever tasted.
Mary Rose
So I'm nagging Maria to open her damn presents, and she won't. Like she's some Scorpio with a secret or something! Maybe just a little self-conscious? Maria doesn't like anyone to fuss over her. She surreptitiously opens a card though when no one is looking.
They say you're supposed to get sex on your birthday, so I guess she did, in a way. Anyway, Mary Rose gave her this cool Ice Cream Sandwich Maker, ice cream not included. I gave her the lamest gift ever, I ain't even gonna say. And Cheryl gave her this most beautiful necklace that she handmade herself:
The necklace Cheryl made for Maria. Don't let this image fool you with the amputated-looking hand. It's been edited for you to see both sides of the necklace's amulet. Isn't it beautiful?
So after about an hour goes by of our antics, our crude comments and my foul mouth and our general "not-for-public-consumption" disgusting humor, we notice the place is almost empty. I guess we cleared 'em out. You know a table full of mostly lesbians is an awesome event. (And those who aren't lesbians love to take part in our lesbian comments.) Poor Cheryl and her mom. Especially Cheryl. We need to find another nice straight girl to join the club so she can have someone to commiserate with.
So, now we're done. Well, what's a gang o' goils with high ICF's to do? Well, the usual of course. Hit the porn shop du jour. But we're a little not sure if BJ's gonna go for it. Can ya imagine, going to a porn shop with your mom? BJ was a good sport, she said what the hell! And off we went, to the big one on the west side. And we all agree, what a beautiful place it is! Very clean and neat and organized, no back alley giz-rooms, a cool black/white checkered floor. It was FABulous! Right away the guy in there says he needs to see Lynne and Jessica's ID. Lynne complies, but Jessica says she doesn't have her's with her. He says "how old is she" to all of us, and Jess chimes in, as confident as you please "I'm 18". He looks at all of us and says if you all say she's 18, then okay. We all say okay!
So, we all immediately head into the lingerie room first. Lots of nice stuff there that you have to be 100 pounds to wear. But nice to look at anyway. Then they have cute little things, like funny key chains and bumper stickers and temporary tattoes. BJ bought some tattooes for the grandkids! Then we head over to the magazine/video section and wander for a bit. Jessica is traumatized as usual by the freaky sex toys and walks around with her arms crossed the whole time.
Then we see it at the far end. A separate room called "The Male Room". All gay men stuff. Well, Mary Rose and I make a beeline for it! In we walk, and on opposite walls are video screens showing fag porn! So Mary Rose and I are like at a tennis match, looking to the left video, then to the right video, then the left, then the right! And we see tiny little cameras set up right under the screens, where the clerk can watch our expressions as we watch the videos! I think that was a little too much for some people who left the room. Well, actually, everyone left the room except me and Mary Rose. But we finally did, then Mary Rose was looking at harnesses and such and I was giving her quite a bit of information on them - quality, leather, types of hookups, sizes, good websites, etc. etc, and I think BJ was within earshot, and I'm sure she decided that, what with my mouth and sexual perversions, I am indeed the most vulgar person she's ever met. Which I am. I don't deny it.
So after awhile Cheryl and her mom left first, and the rest of us hung out for just a little while longer. We paid for our purchases (again, I will not tell who got what. There is a strict code of silence on this!) The guy at the checkout heard that it was Maria's birthday and he gave her a gum ball. The kind with dirty little phrases on it. I think her's said "Muff diver". And he said he wished he could give her a little better gift from the store, but the powers that be were always watching the cameras and stuff. But he did tell us about Ladies Night at the store, where you can get a discount on Tuesdays! 'Course, ladies night at a porn store could be very scary, if you know what I mean. Anyway, he was a very nice and respectful guy. Not a lech like you'd expect at a store like this.
So that was our big event! Except to say that I drove Jessica home and Mary Rose to her car, which was nearby Jessica's house, and while we were saying our long chatterbox goodbyes, a cop pulled up behind us and shined his lights on us! That's because we were in front of a business, and we were kind of loitering in a running car. So the cop runs my plate, then comes up and says, "What's up, ladies?" And I explained that we had gone out and I was dropping my friend off at her car. And he says, "Oh, you're the designated driver?" And I said "Designated?! Nobody's been drinking! We're all hopped up on Ice Cream!" And he laughed and I said that we were doing a typical chatty-girl 20-minute goodbye. So he said to have a nice evening and to drive safely. He was really nice, and didn't even ask me for my license or anything. So we made haste out of there, and that was the real end to the evening!

Hey goils :-)
Tuesday night we were going to take the boat out for the first time this year. We get to Irondequoit Bay and realize we forgot the plug *minds out of the gutter*. In the back of the boat there is a hole...that needs a plug when it is in the water. When you take the boat out of the water...excess water build up in the hull can then be drained thru the hole. ANYWAY...lol....it was getting too late to go back home and get the plug. Needless to say...Heidi was VERY upset...she was SOO looking forward to going on the boat.SOOO...we took the kids to Abbott's. I had a chocolate in a waffle cone :-) *hugs*

3x In One Week!
It started with last Sunday's trip to Abbott's with my ma and sis. Then we all went to Friendly's after SUDS on Friday. Not even 24 hours later I was back at the same Friendly's again with Ann Marie having ice cream and dishing about the love lives (or in my case lack thereof). Leah thinks I copy everyone's ice cream, but Ann got a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Sundae and I got some Oreo Fudge Sundae (which I think Leah got on Friday, but that doesn't count as me copying since it wasn't at the same ice cream event! :) ) We did steal Leah's idea of using the coupon from the paper though. Even though we didn't get the Original Sundae the coupon specified, they gave us the $3.79 or whatever off our bill. The point is, I am eating waaaay too much ice cream lately- I don't think 5 is a high enough ICF for me!! And the porn playing at the shop didn't help matters any. WAAAAAAAH!!!!!

New Place?
I am going to leave the blogging about last night to those who took the minutes and pictures and blog about a new place to go for ice cream. I was browsing through the "Weekend" section of the D&C and it happened to catch my eye that my old haunt Java's (nee Java Joe's) on Gibbs Street is now offering ice cream, ice cream floats and milkshakes. Apparently the ice cream comes from Purity Ice Cream in Ithaca (anyone ever had that?), and they have some um, different, flavors, like Green Tea and Ginger, along with (I hope) somewhat more familiar flavors. I am all for trying new things (though maybe not adventurous enough to try Ginger ice cream as I loathe ginger) so I thought mayhaps the TLIC gang would be up for trying a new venue when we meet again. Anyone interested??

More Tickets to be had!
After rehearsal tonight, I was told that we can have up to six comps for opening night, because sales are so crappy. Now Nicky, my drummer, who is also playing in this pit, won't be using his comps and gave them all to me. That makes TWELVE free tickets available! So who all else is coming????

Friday Night Plans
Okay, goils. Here it is. Friday the 13th is Maria's birthday. We're going to see SUDS, The Musical, which starts at 8:00 p.m. Get to the theater between 7:00-7:30, because the East End Festival is going on and traffic will be a bitch. I have six tickets reserved as comps right now. If we need to add more, we can, and I figure everyone can share the cost of the extra tickets to make it cheaper for everyone. So far we have Maria, her friend Lynne, Jessica, Cheryl, Cheryl's Mom, and Mary Rose. And me, of course. But I'll be in the pit.
Then we're going to the Friendly's in Pittsford. My friend Abby may join us for that. She's a geek, too. Attendance WILL be taken, and minutes kept! lol! So those of you outtatowners who'd like to make an appearance, call my cell phone! I'm not printing the number here, I'll email it to you.
As for anything after that...well, who knows with Cheryl's mom. Maybe she likes porn shops, too? Otherwise, we'll go to midnight mass.
See you then! Woo hoo!

Just a little ice cream story. Hubby and I had been out of town this past weekend. We went to NH for a bike rally. It was cool, but the hotel that I had booked was BAADDD. It was an Econo-Lodge, but we nicknamed it the Ghetto-Lodge. Hehehe, and I got Skyler's buddy Tony(he went too) saying aiiight...very funny.
Anyway, last night, Heidi was really upset that a friend of hers couldn't play. SOOO, out of sheer mommy-guilt, I took her to Abbotts. Mind you, the W Ridge Rd one is NOT the most scenic, but at least they are generous with the "stuff". I had a plain vanilla cone and Heidi had chocolate with rainbow sprinkles :-)

My Mom Rocks!
My sister has been a little down lately so my kickin' mom treated us to Abbott's on Sunday night. The lines were long and my mom moved us out of the faster one because she thought the other one would be the fast one, so we had to mock her out for that. It was worth the wait though- Mom had some sort of chocolate almond sundae, my sis had a hot fudge sundae with vanilla custard and I had a caramel sundae with vanilla ice cream and rainbow sprinkles. All of the cherries wound up in my custard somehow. YUM!!!!! :)

Back From the Maritimes!
Phew! I go away for two weeks with my parents and grandmother and you better move my ICF up to 5!!! I swear, I could have eaten my way through Quebec, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and Portland, Maine!
The run down. If you're in P.E.I. or in Nova Scotia and are hankering for some homemade, but very pricey, ice cream you can't miss with Cows. They have really cool t-shirts and most excellent ice cream. I stared mournfully at a homemade ice cream shop near Halifax that my parents deemed too expensive to buy from. We ate lunch at a Friendly's just over the U.S./Canada border, but the service sucked so much that we decided not to get ice cream for dessert. My mom made me by-pass a Ben & Jerry's in Freeport, Maine because it was too close to dinnertime. So finally I had my day when we stopped at a little family-run homemade ice cream shop near Saco, Maine. I had coffee cookies & cream. To die for goils! Let's just say that now I'm back in New York that if I want ice cream, I'll have it damnit!
Phew! I go away for two weeks with my parents and grandmother and you better move my ICF up to 5!!! I swear, I could have eaten my way through Quebec, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and Portland, Maine!
The run down. If you're in P.E.I. or in Nova Scotia and are hankering for some homemade, but very pricey, ice cream you can't miss with Cows. They have really cool t-shirts and most excellent ice cream. I stared mournfully at a homemade ice cream shop near Halifax that my parents deemed too expensive to buy from. We ate lunch at a Friendly's just over the U.S./Canada border, but the service sucked so much that we decided not to get ice cream for dessert.

Impromptu
So I was working all day in my office yesterday, when I got this bright idea to go see "The Big Voice" at the local theater. And just before I was finishing up, Maria called me. So's I asked her if'n she wanted to come with me to the theater, and she said yes. And we went, and got in for free, because the stage manager, Lesli, is my friend, AND she held the show up for us, because we arrived RIGHT at 8:00. Love her!
After the show I asked Lesli if she wanted to hang, and she said one of the women from the theater was moving to LA and they were having a goodbye party for her, and they were all going BOWLING! So Maria and I said, Yo, we're down wit dat, it being so geeky and all. So by the time we get there, it's midnight, and the alley is closed! So I'm all, who's the genius who planned this? Whatever. So they all decide they were going back downtown to hang at Richmond's. Maria and I were NOT into the bar thing. So here we were, at Clover Lanes in Pittsford and what, may I ask, is DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET?
That's right, Maria's favorite Friendly's location, where we're all going on Friday for her birthday. So we said goodbye to Lesli and headed right on over. We thought the Colossal BLT sounded good because you get a free sundae with it, and when they brought the sangwedges, they had a big ol' burger slapped on them. Gross! I said hey! There's a burger on my BLT! And Maria said, Hey! There's one on mine too! And the waitress said, yeah, everyone makes that mistake. The Colossal sangwedges all have burgers. She offered to change them, but we said, fuggedaboutit! It's a small price to pay for a free sundae.
So we ate half our sangwedges as is, then yanked out the icky tough burger, and ate the rest of the sangwedge without it. Then we were bored with them, didn't finish them, and told the waitress to make with the ice cream pronto!
I had a combo Forbidden Chocolate/Vanilla with hot fudge. Maria had Vanilla. That's it. Just Vanilla. No hot fudge or caramel or anything. Vanilla. At least she had whipped cream with a cherry, and I gave her my cherry, and she tied both stems with just her tongue.

DRUMSTICKS RULE!
Drumsticks kick so much butt- especially the ones that have fudge in the center. MMMMMM! Though the best part of course is when you get to the bottom of the cone and there is a fudgey surprise. Anyhow, I was feeling generous because Tops had them on sale buy one get one free and I had a coupon for $1 off, so I shared with my mom and sister. My sister is now a convert and has realized the euphoria that is a Drumstick. I will have to keep a very close eye on the package that I have left! :)
That's it for my ice cream exploits of late. I did have some fudge cake last night for my mom's birthday that was very good. No ice cream to go with it though. WAAAHH!

Hello everyone! I am back from my Graceland roadtrip! I managed to get a cone at the diner across from Graceland, where the juke boxes are all filled with only Elvis. I got a butter pecan on a sugar cone...Memphis was really hot so it hit the spot. The tour was great except that I chose to wear uncomfortable shoes to be semi fashionable (what was I thinking?) Today before we headed out we went to the Peabody place and I found B&J pistachio ice cream! Like 4 tubs! We took a picture just to prove they make the stuff. I figure I can go to Kroger and make them order it for me since I am boycotting the Darilicious. Bye! Oh and LZ, great analogy about the tampon! LMAO
