Weird Circumstances

By sandradee0124

Yesterday afternoon I bought a WII fit. Didn't use it yet.

 

Anyways, on the way home I was hungry for ice cream for the first time in a long time. Kitty corner from the Best Buy strip mall is a McDonalds and an El Pollo Loco (which has a Tastee Freeze). I drive through El Pollo and order a fat free small vanilla cone. Not bad. I'm told they don't have any ice cream.

 

Sign? Probably. But do I listen? No. I have to drive around a block to get to McDonalds. During the drive a lap band commercial comes on. I quickly change the channel. I go through the drive through and get a chocolate dipped cone no less. $1.04 well spent!

 

I'm driving away and its hot out and my window is down. The vanilla ice cream melts fast and I have ice cream running down my face, my shirt. I got about 1/3 of that thing down before I had to pull over and throw it away. And then I have to walk into my townhouse, full of chocolate and ice cream all over me, carrying a WII fit!! The irony...........

 

 

What is up with that??? I don't even want to imagine..............

:rolleyes2:

    Oh my gosh.... How funny are you. Well at least you got to taste and get the craving over and done with and next time you will think twice since it was such an experience for you. Sometimes all we need is a little taste of what we think we want and that satisfies the craving.

    You did the right thing - had a taste, made a mess and got rid of it - now go plug in your Wii and work it off! lol

    At least you got to taste it..not bragging but I held out until I lost 100lbs and my treat was to get my first ice cream. Believe me ice cream would be my downfall if I would have ate it any sooner!!! I was soooo excited!! I do believe I am one of the few bandsters who CAN NOT eat ice cream!! yes, read it again..can not eat ice cream!! I think god is trying to protect me. I took two bites and slimed for a 1/2 hour!!! I told my doctor..he of course said "Michele, I don't want you to be eating ice cream!" (he is kind of strict) and he must of told his partner because when I saw him in the hallway he joked with me.."So, I heard you can't eat ice cream? That is really odd. Most people can?" I can eat yogurt, hot chocolate made with milk and all other dairy products..just not ice cream!!!! So I am glad it melted..just joking!!! Glad the Wii worked out! Have a good evening!
