Coco, you are the first person I've "met" who appreciates the joyful taste sensation that is black licorice ice cream! I have found a kindred spirit, indeed!
Great list! I also have fond memories of the music of Enigma from my 20's!
Jazz, black licorice ice cream lovers are a rarity indeed! I expected any response to that one to be 'eeewww'! Too cool. No pun intended ~ heehee ;)
i'm going to finally have to write one of these inspired by all 3 of you! (jazz,shiv,coco)but it won't be black licorice anything! hehe
some one knows what flavor ice cream besides double fudge i will be writing about! sssh!
Hey Coco!! I think this would be a good project for me to do while i'm bored here in the "green jammies." So count me in and stay tuned. I just don't know when the internet will work next! :)
Great list :)
Funny how reading other peoples lists gets you going "Oh yeah! I forgot about that!"
I'm tempted to do another list, maybe do 10 things each week.
~Shiv
Stephany, aw come on, you can tell me! What flavour??
Jena, yes I think that would be a good project for you too! Forces you to focus on good things for a spell. Hang in there sweety, I'm sure thinking of you lots.
Shiv, yeah I know, I do that too! It's impossible to come up with everything. 10 more things a week sounds like a good idea. I felt really good after doing the list, I guess due to visualizing all those scrumptious things. Good therapy I say!
No 8, lol. No wonder you and I are kindred spirits!
precious, yes indeed, I thought of that too... hee. I can tell you have one ;)
