Just One of Those Days

Today has certainly been Monday....including, but not limited to, breaking the less-than-2-week old belt on the vacuum while I'm rushing trying to get the vacuuming done before I go pick up WildChild, and the replacement belts we'd bought were too big. So were the new belts I ran to the store & bought, where some non-English speaking guy cut in front of me to buy a sack of potatoes....after which the lady in line behind me started hinting that she'd like to cut in front of me as well. Hey guess what, I'm in a hurry too that's why I'm in the EXPRESS LANE, you old Bella Vista Biddy.

So WildChild & I decided (once I finally got down there) that a milkshake was in order. Chocolate for me, strawberry for him. And so the world became a much more tolerable place. For a little while anyway.

I swear, if one more thing breaks today I'm going to take a Phillips screwdriver & stab its little heart out.

Mmmm...milkshakes!

They were good. Braum's, made with real ice cream, not 'frozen dairy product'.

That is one thing I miss living up North - no Braum's ice cream. Their strawberry cheesecake icecream is the best (as is their german chocolate)!

I love their chocolate almond. WildChild's favorite is, strangely enough, the mint chocolate chip....mostly I suspect b/c he just likes the color. He & I ate lunch there yesterday and he had a chocolate shake. I taught him how to dip his french fries in it. He was totally impressed. His mom will prolly kill me. ;-)

Don't you have Lindner's up there or was that an Indiana chain? I used to crave their ice cream when I was pregnant.
