Brownies instead of bananas .... I can deal with that.
Lots of whipped cream eh?
Sprinkles? M&Ms? Gummi Bears?

I'm not sure why the chinese buffets that offer ice cream have gummi bears as a topping. My friend Steve once got several gummi bears there, Bit of their heads and put the heads on tooth picks and stuck them in the ice cream..... you know.... as a warning to all other gummi bears.

I don't understand the appeal of gummi bears with ice cream, either, but when I worked at an ice cream parlour, all the kids wanted gummi bears, nerds or sour patch kids.

Citizen: Double mint chocolate brownies sound divine. As long as there's ice cream on top. And whipped cream and maybe some DARK chocoate syrup. YUM! And, to finish our IM conversation: AND YOU WILL, TOO!!!

*knocks Citizen upside the head with her Magic Frying Pan 'o Sleep*

Yes, I know I said that it doesn't work that way, that it only works when you chase the person with it, but really, he needed that.

I'd wax poetic about hope and all those sorts of things, but I'm tired, and he won't listen anyway, so maybe tomorrow.

He never listens, But I understand that. Experience is a harsh mistress. But I'm finding hope on more occassions. Even though my head still tries to turn minor setbacks into an apocolypse. Silly head.

I don't normally post this kind of stuff, and I don't like getting email jokes, but this one really made me laugh, and since I've nothing better to do, I thought I'd share it. I'm sure it's not true, but OH, it's funny:

WHAT HAPPENS TO BORED HUSBANDS IN WAL-MART

Ever wonder what happens when you get separated from your Husband in Wal-Mart? The following letter was sent to a long time patron of a local Wal-Mart store. After receiving this letter, she vowed that she would NEVER take her husband shopping with her again!!!

January 12, 2006

Re: Mr. Bill Fenton: Multiple Complaints

Dear Mrs. Fenton,
Over the past six months, your husband, Mr. Bill Fenton has been causing quite a Commotion in our store. We cannot tolerate this type of behavior and have considered banning the entire family from shopping in any of our stores We have documented all incidents on our video surveillance equipment. Three of our clerk s are attending counseling from the trouble your husband Has caused. All complaints against Mr. Fenton have been compiled and are listed below.

15 Things Mr. Bill Fenton has done while his spouse is shopping:

1. June 15: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people's carts when they weren't looking.
2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in House wares to go off at 5-minute intervals.
3. July 7: Made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the restrooms.
4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official tone, "Code 3 in house wares!" ..... and watched what happened.
5. August 4: Went to the Service Desk and asked to put a bag of M&M's on layaway.
6. September 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.
7. September 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told other shoppers he'd invite them in if they'll bring pillows from the bedding department.
8. September 23: When a clerk asks if they can help him, he begins to cry and asks "Why can't you people just leave me alone?"
9. October 4: Looked right into the security camera; used it as a mirror, and picked his nose.
10. November 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, asked the clerk if he knows where the antidepressants are.
11. December 3: Darted around the store suspiciously loudly humming the "Mission Impossible" theme.
12. December 6: In the auto department, practiced his "Madonna look" using different size funnels.
13. December 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browse through, yelled "PICK ME! PICK ME!"
14. December 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he assumes the fetal position and screams "NO! NO! It's those voices again!!!!"
(And, last, but not least!)
15. December 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door and waited awhile; then, yelled, very loudly, "There is no toilet paper in here!"

We have a "ballroom" here in town that has dance lessons. Horribly expensive dance lessons. They also do monthly dances where they teach basic steps at the beginning and then have a dance at the end. I went to one with a friend and it was very fun, but the husband and wife team that own the dance studio went around and danced and schmoozed with everyone. So, I couldn't avoid dancing with the husband. He is SO FUNNY. I think he wants to look like a Latin Lover, but he's too white. We danced the Hussle (which, really, I hate) and he looked so very effiminate dancing it that it kept making me giggle, which did NOT amuse him at all. Needless to say, he did not ask me again.

The wife, however, looks very 1920's glamourous. She's fun.

Serenity, have you ever seen a choclate mint plant? Its type of mint bush that smells of mint chocolate when you run you hand over the leaves, very very very special little plant.

No, you can't smoke it, i've already been asked that.

But i did talk to someone in the garden centre who had used it in recipies and stuff and even attempted ice cream flavoured with it.

But yes, this was the best smelling plant in the world

Also, there was an article in the paper recently about this nursery that grows plants that smell like chocolate. most of them are dark colours, browns and deep reds and smell like chocolate or candy. Heaven!
