“Go away! I never want to see you again!” “Who are you talking to?” George questioned Sherry. Sherry glanced his way, then pointed to her laptop. “I’m arguing with Facebook. Someone is telling me that all I need to do to lose weight is drink lemon juice and vinegar. Then someone else tells me no, drink warm water before bed.” “Why don’t you just eat less and exercise more?” “Well, now, that would be too easy, don’t you think? Or perhaps I need to start one of those magic drugs that cost a fortune and make your pants drop off. I swear…” Sherry closed the computer, let out a large sigh. “I’m going out.” “It’s freezing out there. What’s so important that you have to go outside now?” Sherry grabbed her coat and boots, hat and mittens. “Ice cream. I need ice cream.” “That makes no sense. You just said you wanted to lose weight.” George stifled a laugh. “I’m walking. I’ll burn off a calorie. What do you want?” “Rum raisin regret.” “Very funny. What about ‘Stuck in a Rut’”? W/C 202 Note: That is actually a flavor, French Vanilla ice cream, caramel swirl and mini-rolos, from Wilcoxson’s Ice Cream of Livingston, MT |
