I am shocked and appalled and horrified (and okay not really surprised at all because I know I am weird and obscure) to see that I'm the only person on the Eastern part of the US that uses the word "scround."<BR/><BR/>As for the spoons, I planned to Savor the Moment. To Pace Myself ice cream-wise. The Universe is more likely to help me gain an extra ten pounds than to give me an Enjoy Ice Cream Now card. I was hoping to distribute those ten pounds over a several week period.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10883854503294092142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173487087895437639.post-54653212771458485012008-07-21T12:50:00.000-04:002008-07-21T12:50:00.000-04:00Well, first..."scround"?!?!?!
