Discovery
I discovered that I have a thing against soft serve machines that spit chocolate milk all over my shirt.
An Ode to a Blog Half Forgotten
I think my blog is on the verge of an identity crisis. The most consistent reason new readers visit here is for the song lyrics I posted to annoying children's songs more than two years ago. And how can I, in good consciousness, continue to post on a blog titled "Life in the Slow Lane" when I've said I would do what promotes the very antithesis? (work overtime) But if I stop posting about the things of the Slow Lane, who will carry on? Who will confess to a board member stopping to comment on how she owns nail color the exact shade as I am wearing on my toes, but she only bought it because she knew she would never wear it so it could be seen? Who will instruct on the proper way to wash a car (leave it in the rain) or what to say when an eleven year old calls you to share what he is eating for dinner? Indeed, I would be tempted to stop posting altogether if it weren't for the fact that this blog is contributing to the sanity of at least one person in this great ...

1. Would it have made a difference if it was _strawberry_ milk?
2. Would it have been different if it had been splatters from a _scoop_ of chocolate ice cream
3. Have you considered going to Baskin Robbins instead? We went there yesterday and the lady was really nice and offered one of us a job if only he had the use of two hands.
4. This is not a question but a recommendation. Buy a big tub of Haggen-Dasz strawberry and eat it at home. I love this so much that I don't buy it at all but if I did, I would not spill a drop.
1) I think it would make a difference with strawberry milk because I think that stains less than chocolate.
2) Scooped chocolate icecream usually is firm enough that you have some time before it becomes one with your shirt.
3) I would love to go to Baskin Robbins. I was at Hometown Buffet and I realized that everyone there was VERY serious about their food. No one seemed happy to be getting food.
4) I have decided that the closest thing to the perfect dessert is the Toll House brownie mint bars. A brownie topped with mint icecream covered in hard chocolate. It is like the perfect mix of all of my favorites... mint 'n chip icecream, hard chocolate, icecream sandwich, brownie, and chocolate. What more could you want? Okay, I think I could want it to be a little less pricey.
