Ice Cream Sundays - Peanut Butter Jam Session

 
 
I'm not sure what I was expecting, because this flavor is clearly called Peanut Butter Jam Session, but I was really surprised when it tasted like Peanut Butter and Jelly for some reason.
 
I guess I thought it was going to taste like Peanut Butter and Rock and Roll.  Not sure what that would be like, but I was intrigued.
 
That being said, it was really tasty, but I prefer my Peanut Butter and Jelly in the authentic form - on white bread so it can stick to the roof of your mouth and give you a fun, temporary lisp.
 
This one just made me confused.  Fun to try, but won't go in regular rotation.

Ghetto Jewels and Edible Gold

When I was in Houston last weekend my sister took me to this most ghetto-fabulous "jewelry store".  I think it was called Accessory Warehouse.  It was like the Taj Mahal of cheap jewelry.  And it was amazing.  I got 5 pieces of J.Crew looking jewelry for $35 TOTAL!
 
They also had important necklace messages like this:
 
 
I think there was another one with something like "I'll Cut a Bitch" on it.  But I didn't spring for that one either. 
 
Even though the place smelled like a combination of cigarettes and child labor, we decided that even if the jewelry disintegrated before we even got to our cars it was still a better deal than jewelry from C. Wonder of J. Crew.
 
 
Speaking of that trip, did you know that Delta still serves snacks on the plane?!?!  I was blown away when I was offered my choice of complimentary pretzels, peanuts, or cookies.  I also think the disgruntled flight attendant was blown away when my answer was "Yes."  I was hoping to get all 3 but had to settle for just the savory delights.  2 is better than 1 though!  Especially if you are a ravenous prisoner to the air.
 
 
 
I got the Biscoff cookies on my second flight, which reminded me of this Biscoff Cookie Spread, which I immediately bought more of at World Market, which remains the best thing ever.  Get some today!

Ginger Oh Snap

When I asked my doctor a couple of months ago what natural suggestions there are to curb morning sickness, he recommended "anything ginger".  I love Ginger Ale so that was a no brainer.  I've been enjoying that stuff for months.
 
One day after work, however, when I was feeling particularly bad (it's true that it is NOT just in the mornings), I went to the grocery store across the street from my office to try some Ginger Snaps.

My house is about 20 minutes away from my office/the grocery store.  I'm sure you can see where this is going...
 
I told myself I was going to just eat one serving to see if it helped me feel better.  It was right before dinner, after all.
 
Well that will power lasted all of 60 seconds, or 400 yards out of the grocery store parking lot, whichever came faster.
 
I ended up eating almost the whole bag on my way home.  And the part that I didn't eat ended up in my cup holder, my seat, and my crotch, because the entire bag ripped in half not long after my departure.  It was one of the scarier food episodes I've ever had, with myself.
 
Just the tip of the crumbly iceberg.
 
Needless to say, the Ginger Snaps did not make me feel better.  In fact they made me feel much, much worse.  I couldn't eat dinner that night I felt so sick and ashamed and diabetic.  G'Snaps will definitely go on the list of things I will never, ever eat again.  Along with Diet Mountain Dew.  But that's a whole different story.

Long story short, Ginger Snaps will only make you feel better if you eat a few, not an entire bag.  I assume, I've never done anything in moderation.  I'm an all or nothing kind of beast.

Epic Celeb Sighting

On Sunday I saw a Teen Mom in the Atlanta Airport.  And I don't mean just any teen mom.  I mean a real Teen Mom.
 
 
 
Maci Bookout.  With no "e" y'all, because it's extra classy.
 
If I could describe the excitement in one word it would be..."non".
 
No one was staring at her, no one was asking for her autograph, no one even appeared to recognize her except for me, the 29 year old white girl who clearly needs to upgrade her tastes in Television.
 
It turns out if you want that perfectly manageable level of fame in which you get paid for doing nothing but aren't harassed or recognized too much in public, you just need to get knocked up by a raging douche when you are 16 and get on a reality show!
 
 
 
And yes, she was TINY in real life.  Like maybe 90 lbs.  Her hair was also a multitude of colors, but mostly that purple/red combination she's been rocking recently that occurs exactly zero times in nature.

Nice Hood Ornament

Can you tell what it is?
 
That's an onion folks.  An onion on a windshield.
 
 


Post-It's Aren't Expensive

This Post-It note has been at my doctor's office for the entire time I've been going there, almost a year.  So presumably it's been there for years before that as well.  It looks rather aged.
 
 
 
I really, really don't understand.  You are a doctor.  Can you not simply pony up for the new Post-It note and 4 pieces of Scotch tape?
 
I loved the doctor to pieces.  But my God man!  Spring for a new note.  This doesn't just reflect terrible spelling.  It is indicative of some sort of frugality previously unknown in the Aryan race.
 
Times have never been that tough.
