On The Curb

Inescapable I

(Letter de Leo Reynolds)
  • Ice - I am one of those annoying folks that munches/crunches ice. ::crunch crunch crunch:: I especially like the tiny cylindrical shaped pieces of ice. I also like my drinks super cold, thus more ice for the munching.
    • When I’m sick, ice has proven time and time again to be the only thing I can stomach. Ice. It does a puking body good.
  • Icees - Specifically red or blue. (hey, who’s 4-years old? what flavor do you want? i want red.)
    • I remember first getting Icees with my mom at our local Big K. She knew the woman behind the counter, so they were always free for me.
    • When I was pregnant with Gav, red Icees from the gas station on the corner below our apartment were THE ONLY thing I could keep down during the first trimester. Any acts of brilliancy he may exhibit…all thanks to red Icees.
  • Ice cream - Yeh, this ‘I’ list is nothing but chilly junk, eh? My addiction to ice cream is becoming a problem as I get older. It seems to be finding permanent homes about my body. My favorite flavors are pistachio almond, butter pecan, and cherry vanilla. A good old fashioned vanilla is pretty tasty, too. Oink Oink.
  • iTunes, iPod…all musical things little ‘i’ - I have an older model 40 GB iPod which people see and gasp, “Ohmygod! That thing’s huge!” If I were a guy, I’d be flattered. But, really, I don’t see the need to make the dang things any smaller. What’s next? Maybe a patch I slap on my buttock…infuses tunes directly to my auditory center from my butt all day? Yeh, that’s what I need. I love my music (hello ‘M’ day) and love having my tunes with me at all times. My trusty little iPod does its job quite well. And, being a Mac Momma (hello again ‘M’ day), iTunes is my music storage center.

I’ll be back. (tomorrow…with Jo Jo J)

    Who makes pistachio almond ice cream?!? Give already!!!!

    You don’t see that combo in these parts & I’m salivating thinking about it…

    Butter pecan,yummy.We have a place here in cleveland that makes icecream and addes hoey,I really love their honey pecan icecream,But that is only one of their flavors that send me to a special spot.

    Yum, honey pecan sounds delicious, Mike. :-)

    Pistachio almond…I usually get Blue Bell. Any ice cream Blue Bell is the cat’s meow. I typically like Blue Bell (no, i don’t work for them…how many more times can i slap their name up here) better than all the fancy schmancy ice creams. (although who is that makes ‘chunky monkey’? they have a few flavors that send me salivating)

    Great. Now I want ice cream and it’s close to midnight. Oink.

    Now… it is warm outside and I will be stalking Blue Bell!!! Where o where do you reside, my victim?

    Okay, I am so friggin glad it’s Friday and am feeling stir crazy in my office. When will this workday end??? (it’s only 9 a.m.)

    Oh well. I was getting them confused with Blue Bunny, which I have seen in the ice cream section in these parts; I just went to their website, http://www.bluebell.com, and the farthest north they supply is North Carolina. Yet another reason for you to stay in Alabama…

    They do ship all over the country, however. Instant gratification is not mine.

    I <3 Music too!! Oh we are sould sisters indeed.

    Ice Cream ranks up there too!!

    Glad the Ice thing helps when you’re puking. It minimizes the strip shows then.

    Ok…SOUL sisters. Good Grief!!
