Ice Cream Truck!!!!!!!!!!!!



As you can imagine nothing gets my Roomie and I more motivated than those musical notes broadcast by a moving vehicle loaded with treats (well, except for Seal Pup Emergencies but those are covered under another blog :-)

I mean, we can get a 'drumstick' without having to put on our shoes? Heck, or even put on a bra? we are SO in!

And what is it about getting your sweets from a run down truck that looks vaguely like one on the evening news that makes it taste so much better?

Now a days they just sell the same stuff you can get in the grocery store.

But remember when the only place you could get a creme orange soda Popsicle was on the ice cream truck?

I remember as a kid we would hear the music, run inside, beg, borrow or steal the money then hop on our bikes and race down the street and get in line jostling for position in case they ran out of the root beer float ice cream sandwiches.

It meant summer was here.

Now, of course, I just throw the money off the balcony and the guy chucks a Drumstick up at me after we have about two minutes of language barrier issues, but hey!

That doesn't mean I don't relish the experience just as much #maybemore :-)

So if you happen to come over to my house and hear those dulcet tones, GET OUT OF THE WAY. My roomie and I will barrel you over #andnotevenfeelbadaboutit #duh

Until next week!

Alright with summer here, I know, just know you want a sizzling serial killer thriller to read on the beach (please, just not mine, you know how anti-social I am :-)

So here is the link to "Plain Jane" (described as disturbing and macabre by NYT Best Seller @JamesRollins) http://bit.ly/b60jVe and a 50% off coupon if you decide to purchase #um #duh: RH88E

If you do read "Plain Jane" (even the 50 pages for free) please let me know how mentally disturbed, I mean much you enjoyed it :-)

  1. Ice cream trucks are something you reminisce about in a nostalgic flashback or cringe about in a nightmare dream sequence with that music, that music! Wish we had a good 50-50 bar right now! Enjoy the drumstick!

  2. I recently heard of a guy that got arrested for 'pretending' to be an ice cream truck driver, but was actually a drug dealer! Ever since, I've been a little more hesitant to let my daughter chase after our neighborhood ice cream truck. How dare someone try and ruin the awesome-ness of dessert on wheels!!

  3. The sweet music from an ice cream truck makes my heart beat a little quicker with the thought of holding one of these awesome desserts. Drumsticks are my fav by far. I must have a Skinny Cow now.

  5. No ice cream trucks come by the farm, but I did have Cowboy load up on all the goodies and get dry ice so they would all make it to the country without melting. Now I have my own stock everyday!!
