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.

*insert huge stupid grin here*
just thought i would let you know, i am consuming massive amounts of any ice cream i have in the freezer
(basically a combination of chocolate, crunchy munchy peanut butter, and butter pecan) while watching the hot as hot can be DVD a friend made me, of the Goo Goo Dolls on VH1's Story Tellers and the pretty "hanson stalker banner" cheryl made for me of my FAVORITE drummer in the whole entire universe. *huge sigh*
it's hot in here and my ice cream is melting waaaay too fast!
*slurps and licks spoon*
heeh.

My grandma loves to tell the story of how I always knew when we were going for ice cream when I was little (like 3 years old). Just by the way the car was turning down roads, I knew and would get excited and start kicking my heels against the seat. When I was a little older, about 4. I apparently told my Uncle Don how to get to the former-Friendly's in Irondequoit while my mom and aunt were shopping. My Uncle Don wasn't from Rochester, so they believed him when he told them I showed him the way. A couple years later (around age 11), I remember telling my Uncle Chester how to get to the Friendly's in Greece from Charlotte. I've always been good with directions and I credit it all to ice cream.

So just a little while ago my mommy says, "Did you see your ice cream in the freezer?"
'"WHAT ICE CREAM?", I ask.
"Aunt Marie and I stopped at Bruster's last night and she bought you some ice cream."
So I go tearing to the freezer and there it is! Fat-free, sugar-free chocolate ripple! Yummy!
I LOVE MY AUNT MARIE!
And for the record, I'm stirring it.
Since the corn county I live in doesn't support local Spumoni and/or PISTACHIO ice cream consumption, I am forced to have tons of sex in order to lower my ice cream frustration. The last time I had a really GOOD amount of that beloved green delight was back in 1996, Salt Lake City, Utah. The home of this frozen concoction that THEY called a shake. When I think of a shake I think of McDonalds Vanilla or Chocolate or maybe Steak n Shake with whipped cream and a cherry on top, well in Utah, you eat your shake with a spoon. No suckin' on a straw. This stuff is so thick and creamy that people line up for blocks to order from the Iceburg specialty stand. MMMMM. It is so worth the wait.
resident ASSHOLE is snoring in the middle of the living room floor, bookends are sleeping with their faces all smushed together, forehead to forehead. they look cute, but i wouldn't wanna be on the receiving end of THAT morning breath. *faugh* nasty. haha.
hmmm...dilemma time...do i keep banging my head against this keyboard trying to write something i think is worthwhile (getting bitched at for making to much noise "i can't stand that clicking sound..." YEAH? YOU WANT SOME CHEESE TO GO WITH THAT WHINE???HUH???) or do i give in to the voices?? *claps hands over ears* mommy make it stop!! haha...
you guys know i am going for the crunchy munchy peanut butter in my freezer, right?

I made the fiance go see Chicago with me tonight and then partake in some Friendly's afterwards. It was rather tough convincing him that ice cream was the thing to consume since he was still very stuffed with dinner. I naturally had my standby of Reese's Pieces Sundae (with Marshmallow topping!!). Chicago was decent. The dancing scenes could set anyone's ICF zooming to 5! All I know is that I kept looking at babies in Friendly's afterwards, waving and making smiley faces at them. The fiance was steadfast in saying "No. Not for a couple years." *sighs* So I ate my ice cream instead. And I don't even really like children!
Since I don't have anything new to blog, I thought I would share with you all an ice cream experience of yore.
I was riding in the car with my dad and my sister and we had just gotten custard at Abbott's. I don't know how old we were but we were relatively little. We all had cones and I was in the back seat while my sister rode shotgun. My dad was asking us how our ice cream was and of course we were like, "It's yummy!" So he says to my sister, "Well, mine smells kind of weird." He's smelling his ice cream and making a scrunched up face. "Michelle, smell this" he says, putting his cone out to my sister. Being ever concerned about her daddy, she goes to smell this strange odor and boom! my dad shoves it up her nose. Funny guy, eh? He sure thought so. She should have known better than to trust a guy that says, "Pull my finger."

Since we are required to detain any ice cream experiences, here's mine for tonight. We took my 6 yr old daughter Heidi to Don Pablos(mexican) for dinner for her birthday. Anywho, Leah told me I HAD to try this apple pie/ice cream dessert they have. Turns out they brought one for free cuz is was Heidi's bday. Hot apple pie with vanilla ice cream on top...covered with a butter brandy sauce. It was good, although I not much for mixing ingredients....gotta keep the ice cream and pie separate, same goes for cake. Heidi took care of most of the dessert....we should make her a junior member...lol.
Here's a pic of my angel :-)
hee hee. okay so i have an INTENSE love/hate relationship with the stuff.
oh-ho yeah, the stuff tastes good (like heaven, actually) and ANY ice cream will take care of my "ice cream jones"
(well all right, except maybe that chicken with rice stuff someone mentioned earlier *gags* )
but put me in the same room with a half gallon (or pint, or one of those gallon and one quart BUCKETS, it doesn't matter) and i can guarantee you it will be gone within the next 24-48 hours, depending.
and the reason i am blogging about it for no REASON is because there is a half gallon of pure chocolate heaven in my freezer callin' my name *puts hands over ears to drown out the insistent echo*
can you guys hear it? the damn stuff prolly won't stop nagging until i have eaten it all.
*bangs head on desk*
MAKE IT STOP!! hahhaha... okay so i will go eat a bowl, but to real food for me for the rest of the night.

Time: 8:00 p.m.
Location: Friendly’s, Webster, NY
Present in order of appearance: Cheryl, who was early, Leah, Mary Rose who sat in her car for 10 minutes to smoke before she came in, Maria who was late because of work, and Jessica, who wasn’t supposed to be here but made a surprise appearance!
Here we are! Jessica, Maria, Mary Rose, Leah,Cheryl
1. Leah, Mary Rose and Cheryl discuss: stupid people with bad hairdos and people named Bertha. While looking at menus, Cheryl convinces Leah that she can substitute any flavor ice cream on her sundae. Leah says “God Bless America”.
2. 8:25 p.m. Marjie from Michigan calls us! She is in the grocery store buying chocolate ice cream as we speak!
3. The lesbians of the group decide that the waitress is not getting the “pretty waitress tip”.
4. Waitress comes to take our order, and SHETALKSSOFUCKINGFAST that we’re not sure what we’ve ordered. We hurry to tell her our orders because she is rushing us!!! Leah orders a caramel fudge brownie with chocolate almond chip ice cream. Jessica orders a Happy Ending sundae with rainbow sprinkles. Maria gets the big super size 5 scoop Super Caramel Fudge Blast with Rainbow sprinkles, a side of gummy bears and no mayo. Mary Rose gets a 3-scoop Caramel Fudge Blast with rainbow sprinkles and Cheryl orders the same without sprinkles. Nobody gets her damn sprinkles. Leah hunts down the waitress who seems to have disappeared to ask for the sprinkles. The waitress shows up to ask “OKAYWHATKINDOFSPRINKLESDIDJAWANT???” and everyone says never mind, it’s okay, forget it, making Leah look like a fool. Leah calls their actions traitorous.
They don't call 'em jerks for nothing
A reverent moment of silence
5. The goils are steeped deep in a sugar high, and begin discussing bra fittings, cup size and cleavage. The waitress comes by and says “CANIGETYOUANYTHINGELSE?” and Leah answers no thank you, speaking only for herself. But the waitress, assuming Leah is the voice of the group, says “OKAYTHANKS” and runs off. Mary Rose, who was trying to get the waitresses attention, mock flings her spoon at Leah in frustration, who gets a spoonful of yummy sticky chocolate goop on her neck! Leah finds this sexy.
6. Leah, the dictatorial, powerhungry Capricorn queen of all things organizational, decides the group should have rules. But funny ones. And that we should all have bios posted on the website.
7. The goils make a toast, then raise their spoons in a salute to all the other TLIC team members who could not make this ice cream social.
The toast....
...and the salute!
8. Leah unveils her “Ice Cream Factor” scale. It works like this: Knowing that ice cream consumption increases proportionately with sexual frustration, The Ice Cream Factor (ICF) scale of 1 to 5 indicates your level of ice cream consumption. One is the least amount of ice cream consumed, five the highest. There is no Zero on this scale, because ultimately we are always sexually frustrated to some degree: even after you have sex you want more sex.
9. The goils decide to go to the porn store down the road.
10. 10:20 p.m. Meeting adjourned immediately, without any discussion of future events, pre-occupied as they are with their next adventure.

First I had gone to my individual interview where the people giving the interviews were running late. The first woman had arrived 15 minutes late (I hope they took points off for that! Jeeze!) I start freaking out because I have to go take care of this woman in an hour and I start telling myself I am not going to make it there on time, blah, blah, blah. *I know I am doing this to myself!* SO, I finally get in there 15 minutes later and everything is fine until... They ask me some question about what my weaknesses are and I get all choked up and almost start crying. I am so embarrassed! I try to stop myself but by that time I have lost it. A few visible tears come out... I leave in plenty of time and go home to get myself together before having to go deal with this neurotic, obsessive compulsive woman. (oh I feel bad-- she is nice most of the time)
Anyways, my neurotic, mother calls me while I am home and continues to give me the cold shoulder because I am coming home for spring break and not following her advice to stay put. *gasp* She annoys me for 15 minutes while saying absolutely nothing of importance while I roll my eyes. Just when I think they are going to be stuck in the back of my head, she stops and we say good-bye *whew* but now I have to leave to go to work, having not rested at all.
I go to work where this woman has the furnace men over and tells me to make myself comfortable, that she will be a while. I sit there for an hour twiddling my thumbs because stupidly I forgot a book to read. This visit from the furnace men and the fact that she has to replace all 3 of them soon makes her incredibly nervous and upset for the rest of the day. We get nothing accomplished but talking about all the things she is behind on and should be doing. I tell her all kinds of things to try to get motivated, "you shouldn't should on yourself, blah blah blah, but to no avail. She sits on the bed for 2 hours wallowing until the guys to give her an estimate to trim her trees come. Then it is time to leave. We haven't gotten anything accomplished all day so she asks if we can go for a walk. I stay the extra hour and take her to Chautauqua for a walk.
On the way home I decided to stop at the store to buy a few groceries I pick everything up and get to the checkout, look in my bag for my wallet and it's not there! I start freaking out, my life is in this thing! So I leave my groceries there and go home to try to find this thing. I get in the door and start tearing the place apart. I look in the family room, my bedroom, my roommate helps me look. I can't find the damn thing. I call a restaurant I was in a couple nights ago. I check the food co-op. Nothing. My roommate suggests that I look in my bag again so I do. There is my wallet sitting innocently in my back pack, *batting eyelashes* mocking me! My back pack is black and so is the wallet please don't crucify my people!
Anyways, by this time all I want is ice cream. I say, screw the groceries I am gong to get an ice cream sandwich from 7-11. It's one of my favs! It has 2 chocolate chip cookies (soft) on either side of some delicious vanilla ice cream. *slurp* So I get to the store and there is this woman that was totally standing in front of the case blocking my point of entry. I don't know what the hell she was doing but she was standing there blurry eyed staring at I don't know what! I wait 5 minutes. I was so desperate for this treat by this time that I couldn't even ask her to move, I almost punched her! *gasp* I didn't, but was so frustrated by this time that counting to 10 just wasn't working anymore and I decided that rather than getting arrested for assault that I would go home instead. (Whaaaa call the whambulence) So that was my story about ice cream.

Hey, there's some ice cream place out in Gates (I think) that supposedly sells cones where a small cone equals three scoops of ice cream. Anyone else heard of this wonderful place? My parents claim it exists, but it sounds just too much like heaven.

Well, the phone book was no help. I think this may take intense research for future outings. But think it's going to be just four of us, so we can fit into any booth at any Friendly's. Shall we pick one? Webster, Henrietta and Pittsford are the closest to all of us. Pick! And don't gimme none o' this "well whatever it doesn't matter" namby pamby stuff, because if'n you don't decide, then I will, and I'll pick Webster so my lazy ass doesn't have to go too far! LOL.
Vote in the comments below! woo hoo!
Lisa makes her debut to this blog. Yay!
Look, about those crunchy podunk soy-eating white-people-with-dreds out there in Boulder: Just fling some Lactaid at them and force feed them New York Super Fudge Chunk! And say "This is from George Pataki!" when you do it! When they're all doped up on the sugar and caffeine high, say "I don't care how much of a smelly hippy you act like, you come from MONEY, or you wouldn't be bumming in Boulder! And some day, when you're not in your twenties anymore, you're gonna take your big inheritance from daddy and mommy, and buy all the Hagen Daas you can stuff down your tofu-eating throat!
Could be those are my own issues and prejudices, though...
Mwah!

Nevermind last post. I figured out it's Maria! Yes, THE Maria, who's fault all of this is, lurking about with another e-mail address. Nice try, honey! Big sister is always watching! Muahahahaha!
Seems like nobody liked that you were eating sherbet. Well, in fairness to Maria, she really didn't like it that much. Didn't finish it, either.
Aighht, yo, so like Maria calls me an' says yo' I'm gonna be in your town to see my friend play hockey, she's a girl, aiight? Ya wanna come and hang and I'm like, girls playing hockey like I'm down wit' dat! So we make plans to go to Zamar Cafe for cafe food and shit and this chick says, yo, the kitchen closes at 9:00. So I'm all gonna bitch slap her and shit but Maria says let's just go to Friendly's down the street, aiight yo? And I'm all like, "Word!"
mmm... wish I could join you on Tuesday but that whole 140 miles in between here and Rochester does put a damper on things. AH well. Actually, I will be in town this weekend for the super duper Home Show at the Convention Center. Vern from Trading Spaces will be there at noon and 2pm. Vern.. mmmm.. maybe I can get him to design a new ice cream flavour for me.

Yeah I'm a dork...blah.
That sucks you can't come Jessica!
Marjieeeeee! We will hold our spoons up in your honor :-P Death By Chocloate...works for me. NOTHING is better than Chocolate...good movie BTW...hehehe.
Ok...I'm spent.
Ice Cream starts out frigid cold. Then you add all sorts of things to it to make it interesting and better. The longer you savor it, it begins to melt. At first it's creamy and silky and yummy, then it gets warm and liquidy and all the flavors blend to that delicious level of sticky goodness. And before it gets too hot, you gobble it up really fast.
Sex starts out hot. You can't get enough and you gobble it up. It's sticky goodess everywhere. Then it becomes familar and warm, but it's still creamy and silky and yummy. But the longer you try to savor it, it melts. Then you try to add all sorts of things to it to make it interesting and better. But eventually you end up frigid cold.
*sniffles*
i caaaaaaan't. i live too damn far away. BLAH. someone eat a giganto, FULL FAT, hot fudge, gooey, something-or-other with all kinds of stuff on it for me, okay? ( think "DEATH BY CHOCOLATE" heh. closest thing to hot, sweaty sex i'll get in the next six months AT LEAST.)
