Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Great pictures! Liese and DH are as adorable as I expected and Teppy, you look like you've lost weight.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

YAY for ice cream with Liese and Mr. Liese!

You can get cheesecake ice cream with blueberries in it at Cold Stone.

Crap, I'm totally going there this weekend, now. There's one right up the street from me!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Liese and DH are as adorable as I expected

Once you get talking to them, they're even more adorable, in a please-move-here-and-be-my-Scooby-Gang kind of way. You know, Buffistas.

and Teppy, you look like you've lost weight.

It looks that way to me, too, though certain pants and skirts actually are tighter. I think perhaps the weight is making a pilgrimage to parts south, or something.

But thanks!

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Kalshane, was it BlueBell out of texas? That ring MAJOR bells from my youth.

I have no idea. I just remember getting it here in the Chicago area as a kid, but there's apparently none to be found anymore.

Not quite the same, unless they have some kind of blueberry sauce. I distinctly remember the icecream being swirled with blueberry sauce and chunks of cheesecake.

At the moment I've been getting my blueberry icecream-esque fix by getting blueberry shakes from Culver's, which are very good, but not the same.

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

In non-ice cream news, there is a shrimp and sweet red peppers pizza being made for me right now!

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I get to heat up my diet chili dinner, the last of my diet food because (a) I can't afford to continue for the next month or so, and (b) I'm going to try to diet with real food, bought at the grocery store by me and cooked by me for me to eat, and hopefully save money (diet was costing $100 a week) as I lose weight.

All this talk about ice cream is NOT HELPING!!! Now I want Brown Cow frozen custard in Forest Park. Thank G-d I have $.07 to my name until tomorrow morning.

Now, for something non icecream?

Has anyone seen the Jessica Simpson video for "These Boots are Made for Walking?"

POOR WILLIE NELSON.

The New York Times weighs in on the song: here.

Video if you haven't seen. Defines gratuitous.

And, Don Knotts is 81 today.

Now tagless for your comfort.

The lemon at Fran's remains the One True Ice Cream

DAMN! It's nigh impossible to find really good lemon ice cream. I always look and am disappointed by sorbet. My father used to take me to this place when I was a kid and I always ordered it because he did. It was the bestest thing ever and I can never find it when I need a bit of creamy nostalgia.

We just got our electric bill, billing date through 7/19. I am sick, sick, sick at it: $171.00.

We came in at $148 this month. But there are few of us and less square footage. I share your bleh. It went from a freakishly cold, wet spring to an horrendously hot, humid summer. Like it jumped from March to August without blinking.

Oooh, now I want a Lemon Ice from one of the Italian beef places around here. Yumm, Lemon Ice...
