This photo has been used before in this blog, but it was just so fitting for the subject, that I could not resist using it again. So, please forgive me using it twice during this project.
Today was a crazy day that started out with me forgetting my trusty sidekick: my cell phone. A day without this apparatus sent shivers down my spine. A friend laughed at me and told me, "Time to go old school." See, I was trying to ditch a very much needed dance class to go home to get the darn thing. I was rationalizing that my kids could be sick and then I would not know it. Very sound reasoning I thought. Thankfully I listened to Paula and a bit of Zen returned to my life.
Today, was more than retro day, it was a milestone for me! For the first time since 1996 I was phoneless in the US. I have been overseas for extended periods of time since then cell-less, but this was here in the good ole US! The day was rather relaxing despite all of the errands I had to run. I was also watchless - my watch right now is my cell phone. It was cathartic to not be tied to a phone. I was unreachable and for the six hours I was off-line and off-phone it was great! I highly recommend going old school for a day. :)
After all my errands and two school pick ups, my twins had an ice cream party with their Daisy Girl Scout troop with their father. It was Me and My Guy day. My son was devastated that he could not be their guy, so I took him to a local ice cream place called Jay Gee's. I have never been there and was pleasantly surprised to find very fun flavors.
I am not a big ice cream fan, so exotic flavors are what entice me to try the cold stuff. I am a big fan of red bean ice cream, sweet corn ice cream, rock melon ice cream. So today I had to try Guinness! Beer and ice cream. A great concept, but I am still not convinced that it is the best combination. I followed that taste up with something called Easter Basket. Now this was up my alley. Pink ice cream with Cadbury eggs, Peeps (marshmallow bunnies coated in sugar) and miniature marshmallows. I have to say, it brought me to my childhood happy place.
So, my wish for you is to find a crazy ice cream flavor and see if it helps you to get to the happy place. Here is a great song by Rascal Flatts to help!
