Coldstone - I love ice cream. I really do. And I really love Coldstone ice cream. However, as you know, I am a bargain shopper and never pay full price for anything other than produce. And Coldstone is pricey. So, Tim and I get it with the BOGO coupons from the paper periodically. It's one our little indulgences in life. Want to know my current favorite flavor? Apple Pie A La Coldstone. Ready for the ingredients? French vanilla ice cream, cinnamon, graham cracker pie crust, apple pie filling, and caramel. Salivating? You should be!
Complaining - Last week it struck me that I complain way too much. I don't know why this fact suddenly became so clear to me, but it's better late than never. So, I decided to make an effort to cut the complaining, to find the positive spin on the situation I want to gripe about. Guess what happened about 24 hours after making that decision. Allergies. My eyes are so puffy and red and itchy. I haven't had a good night's sleep in a few days. Such is life for me in May. Needless to say, I've failed at my attempt to stop complaining. However, I've definitely been much more aware of what comes out of my mouth. There have been many more times that I've chosen to keep my mouth shut or found something positive to say than there have been times that I've complained. I figure a red, puffy eyed, sleep deprived girl has a right to do a little complaining. And I'm thankful that I have eyes. And that they work. Even if they itch.

Allergy season is horrible for everyone - dont feel bad about complaining!! I agree with your love of coldstone - our family was quite bummed when the store in Tualatin closed.
I hope you feel better soon Bethany! The oak trees are dropping that nasty pollen stuff and we are all watery eyed. Usually it doesn't bother me.
We had metal poles on either end of the tomato row and it had mesh fencing on it. We planted tomatoes on either side and tied them to the fence. We could get a LOT of tomatoes in 2 rows with just that one bit of fencing (3 or 4 dozen plants usually). The PVC tomato cages are nice, too. I agree that the metal cone ones did not support the weight of the plant!
I bet Coldstone doesn't have cheese flavor. That's what Ally was given the other day at KFC when we ordered a chocolate popsicle - she got a cheese flavored popsicle instead. She declined.
