Casa Grande, AZ: I really Wanted To Do A Strawberry Blonde

I really wanted to do a strawberry blond but my wife wouldn't let me. When we went to the Cold Stone Creamery this evening we decided, in order to save money and calories, we would split one of Cold Stone's signature deserts.

My favorite is the Strawberry Blond however Mary Lynn is nuts about the Peanut Butter Cup, and since she had the $$$, her argument was pretty convincing.

That said, the Peanut Butter Cup Perfection is just that -- Perfect. Chocolate ice cream, couple of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, some chocolate syrup and a big dollop of peanut butter, all mashed together until creamy. Yum.

Still pretty warm out tonight after reaching 80 degrees this afternoon. Tomorrow should be another excellent day; the forecast is for 82 degrees. Then the temperatures start to cool down pretty quickly with rain forecast this weekend.

I'm not even sure of what day of the week this is, it's just not that important here, at least for me. I work on projects and chores everyday until 1:20 when I head up to the water volleyball games; we usually play from 2 to 4 or 4:30.

MLA keeps track of what day of the week it is since her activities change day to day. Monday was lapidary and bingo; Wednesday is lapidary, and a dinner play; Thursday is a t-shirt craft workshop, etc. As she says, there is just not enough time in the day to get everything done.

Especially since we both like to stay up late at night reading. I've completed several books in as many days; trying to work through the hardcover books first to eliminate some of the weight before we take off at the end of March.

MLA also went to the activities center and purchased tickets for a number of shows, a casino trip, several dances PLUS, being the sweetheart that she is, she bought tickets for the Colorado Rafting Trip.

Truthfully, I think she was afraid that if she didn't go on this three day trip I would sign us up for one of the 1 or 2 week long Colorado River rafting trips. So, she seems to have taken the lesser of two evils. I'm hoping she enjoys herself on that trip or I'll never hear the end of it. Not that that's a bad thing... Stay tuned.

See Ya!
