I have never had cold stone ice cream. Sigh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I always get too much at Cold Stone -- too much ice cream, too sweet, etc. I did OK last time, focusing on fruit more.

Jesse, if you're lucky, I'll let you either go to the pool (doubtful) or see a movie too.

Whoo! I don't think I'll have time tomorrow for all that, due to the laziness, but I think Saturday is a pool day, and there will likely be a movie Sat or Sun.

Ah libkitty, it's good because it's hand blended with yummy things. The reason I like it is because the mix-ins aren't soggy.

No Cold Stone here, and I seem to always be not in the mood for ice cream when there's one around.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Cold Stone has this flavor of ice cream - "cake batter," I think? that's freakishly good. Also, it has a gum-like texture - if you stretch it and release it, it pulls back.

Oh man, I heard about that the other day.

(Actually, I heard about people getting salmonella from it. And I still am dying to go try it out.)

What is even happening?

I don't know if they have Coldstone around here.

A few years ago, all my Bronzer friends were talking about these ice cream dots. I disremember if they were called dots, or what. But they were like little beads of ice cream. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I kept waiting, but as far as I could tell, they never did make it up this way.

All of the ice cream is like that, or just the freakishly good cake batter kind (which really does sound good)?

A friend's husband runs one of those in... somewhere in Maryland. I've yet to make it there, though. Which is sad, because I bet he'd give me free ice cream. You know, once.

They used to sell ice cream dots at a mall in Anchorage. I don't know if they still do or not. They were yummy. You could mix different flavors to make your own custom flavors. The key was that they were super cold so they wouldn't merge together. After a while in your cup they would, but then it was ok.

Yeah, a friend of mine works at the Evanston store, but I've yet to make it up there.

I've only seen them at amusement parks or state fair. They're kind of neat.
