• My Life as an Ice Cream Judge

  

  I finally got the call that I’d been waiting for, the one I’ve been training for since graduate school, when I really perfected my craft of eating ice cream: I was asked to be a judge for the 2nd annual RI Food Fights Best Scoop Shop contest. Just a little background: RI Food Fights is,…

• Top 18 of 2018

  

  Today marks my 8th anniversary on WordPress. It feels like just yesterday I was writing a blog about my 4th anniversary on WordPress, but perhaps that’s because yesterday I was reading the blog in which I mentioned my 4th anniversary. Time sure does fly when reviewing a rapid succession of years’ highlights. Thus, in keeping…

• 23 Ways To Spend $2,317 Other Than Paying Off Damages To A Rental Car That Was Not Entirely My Fault And Could Have Been Avoided Altogether

  Beware of the rant!   If you recall, I got into a bit of a fender bender in Ireland, and because I DIDN’T put the car on my credit card, and DIDN’T waive the absurd rental car insurance, and because I HAPPENED to be driving into an UNMARKED intersection in the middle of NOWHERE when a car came out…

• Ten Confessions

  Ten Confessions   1) I keep hearing pitter-pattering above my head, and I’m hoping it’s squirrels on the roof and not a family of mice inside the ceiling (this is not a “confession” as much as a current event.)   2) I went to Barnes and Noble today with the intention of buying gifts for…

• I Gave Up Ice Cream and Acquired a Child

  I mentioned in my last post that I was giving up ice cream for the month of December. As you may know, I am a bit of an ice cream eater (“a bit” meaning “I eat a large bowl every day.”) In my defense, though, I only eat pseudo-ice cream, and I only do so…

• Adios, Ice Cream (and Bye, Bye Restaurant Guests)

  The first time I ate at the restaurant in which I now work—the only time, actually, prior to employment—was the day of the “Man Hunt” for the Boston bomber.   I remember this clearly because I had been shopping at the Providence Place Mall, having had my credit card declined at the Verizon store (twice,…

• Caffeine + Dessert > (and/or better than) Sleep + Carbs

  I’m seeing if I can beat the clock for this post because I have ELEVEN minutes before my computer restarts for automatic updates, WHICH, by the way, I’m highly curious why this is the third time in two days it’s doing this. Really?? I think it’s just to annoy me. I have two observations to…
