I work from home, and when I start to swelter in the noontime heat, I get extremely irritated (did I mention I'm enjoying the wonderful world of menopause?) When it feels like it's just too much, I jump into my car, turn the AC on full blast, and drive down to the Sonic drive-in (Sonics are like the old A&W drive-ins). I order an icy root beer float and almost wiggle in my seat while I wait for the car hop to bring it to my window. To me this is such a delicious treat, and I savor every yummy spoonful. By the time I'm done, between the AC and the float, I'm totally chilled! I head home to take a cool shower with some great smelling bodywash. Afterwards, I slip into something fresh and cool, kick way back in my easy chair, and sip some mint tea poured over crushed ice. Spirit restored! Just some simple pleasures to cope with what summer has to offer...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19022366.post-12406296925958149962008-06-22T15:51:00.000-04:002008-06-22T15:51:00.000-04:00Cherry Garcia or Rocky Road for me, although these...Cherry Garcia or Rocky Road for me, although these days I'm more likely to have a sugar-free Popsicle.<BR/><BR/>Yes, it's good to give pets their meds inside a treat, isn't it?

He deserves a giant vat of ice cream for putting up such a fight.<BR/><BR/>How did you ever get him to keep the hat on?!?<BR/><BR/>My favorite ice cream flavor (and one of my diet's biggest enemies) is Blue Bunny brand's "Bunny Tracks." It's vanilla ice cream with ripples of caramel and that hard-chocolate shell, with chocolate chunks in it.<BR/><BR/>Dear Lord that is good stuff! :)Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08525920264313538479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19022366.post-35887800360252401482008-06-21T07:02:00.000-04:002008-06-21T07:02:00.000-04:00Elvis knows what good! hehemy old favorite is brye...Elvis knows what good! hehe<BR/><BR/>my old favorite is bryers vanilla bean.. after that its coffee ice cream!DesLilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02582481597658080464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19022366.post-529539679204593222008-06-20T23:37:00.000-04:002008-06-20T23:37:00.000-04:00Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia, and Chocolate Fudge...Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia, and Chocolate Fudge Brownie are my favs. I'm glad Elvis enjoyed his ice cream...sweet little guy...<BR/><BR/>ConnieIndigoSunMoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08910833212315165714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19022366.post-4230256918904646602008-06-20T23:02:00.000-04:002008-06-20T23:02:00.000-04:00Oh, sweet Elvis -- I'm so glad he is getting his y...Oh, sweet Elvis -- I'm so glad he is getting his yummy dessert treat to disguise the medicine.<BR/><BR/>My favorite, when I felt I could eat ice cream, is Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia. Today I had something almost as good -- strawberries from my daughter-in-law Kris's garden sweetened with Equal, in 1% milk. It was a nice cooling dessert this evening.Suzanne Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00852489169178668615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19022366.post-82581893282381985382008-06-20T21:35:00.000-04:002008-06-20T21:35:00.000-04:00I've always liked rocky road ice cream.
