Mmmmm Ice Cream
Finally finally finally we are reaping the real benefit of the Great Girl Scout Cookie Debacle of 2004. This weekend I made a batch of chocolate fudge ice cream with crushed thin mints mixed in. And it is goooood. Really really good.

But now we are also bearing the burden of the Great Girl Scout Cookie Debacle of 2004 - we have yummy ice cream in the house. Which is really really bad. It's something we avoid like the plague. Especially because the ice-cream beckons constantly. "I'm here! I'm good! Eat me!" Constantly. And it's impossible to just forget about it. In fact, here I am at work, thinking about the fact that I have this ice-cream in my freezer. See? It has a very loud voice.

As a result of the addition of the ice cream to the freezer, I am constantly stuck choosing between listening to the voice of the ice cream and that of the scale (see my earlier posting about the scale obsession). Obviously I can't eat the ice cream and then get on the scale - that would clearly not go well. And I can't get on the scale and then eat the ice cream because I would just feel compelled to re-weigh. So I am stuck.

But I am proud of myself. This unresolved conflict has resulted in me (1) not eating any ice cream and (2) not weighing myself - for nearly 2 whole days. Unheard of. I even managed to resist eating even a bite of the ice cream when Mark had a whole bowl. I guess my best bet is for Mark to finish the evil ice cream and thereby remove the temptation. I'm sure he'll have no objection to that plan.
