Last Thursday I found out from my friend, Jeni, that Cold Stone Creamery was having the “World’s Largest Ice Cream Social.” All the stores around the nation were giving away “free” ice cream (they really wanted you to donate money to a charity, starting at $2). Well, since I have time (being a stay-at-home-almost-mom), I decided to head out to Cold Stone to satisfy my ice cream craving. It was about 5 o’clock, so I figured Jason wouldn’t even be home by the time I got back from my “errand.” I walked in the garage, opened it, and started to get in my car when I heard a familiar voice yell, “HEY! Where are you going?” Jason had gotten home early and was getting out of the truck in the driveway. I sheepishly grinned and started laughing out loud. I told him that Jeni had told me about this free ice cream and that I was headed out to cash in on it. He asked me if Jeni was meeting me. ”Noooo…” I started laughing even harder. ”I’m going by myself.” More laughter. Basically, I was CAUGHT. The great thing is that I’m pregnant, and you can do anything you want when you’re pregnant. That’s the universal rule! I only have 2 more months of this, and I plan to take full advantage. So even though I was a little embarrassed, I still jumped in the car and headed for the free ice cream. :)
Don’t be ashamed, my friend. It’s dairy and your body needs/will need dairy for the coming years
Case,
Noah Jack needs it! Yum! I’m proud of you for your independence!
Thats pretty funny!
Hey it’s free! I would have probably gone twice!!
I loved this story! It reminded me of our local Baskin Robbins 19 1/2 years ago. They had a chalkboard by the door with a darling chalk drawing of a pregnant lady on it and a note that said Tuesdays: Pregnancy special 2 for the price of 1. Well, all of my pregnant friends had been taking advantage of this for months and I finally decided I would too. So I went in and much to my surprise the chalkboard was erased clean. I proceeded to get up the nerve to ask for the pregnancy special and the young man behind the counter said, “Uh, we just discontinued that.” Well, being the 9 month pregnant emotionally charged woman I was, I started crying. Talk about embarrassing! Anyway, he says, “Okay, you can have it!” The next time I came in the sign was back up. Moral of this story…Never mess with a pregnant woman when it comes to her icecream!
Love you cutie! Amy
