Sweet Indulgence . . . .

[Cricket]

Since I really don't need to eat anymore, my indulgence is to go to the spa and get a mani/pedi.  Thanks to my daughters they got me hooked.
My fingernails are horrible, thin and break always.  Never had nice nails all my life, now that I am 63 I had acrylics put on and I really love them, my nails don't grow fast so I can go 3-4 weeks for fills and it cuts down on the expense.  I think this is my only indulgence in life.

It is soo hot. Where do I find some frozen dark chocolate?

[Patze]

Sure do Joe, anything chocolate, extra points for the dark variety (raspberry dark chocolate is my fav).  Now I often freeze my chocolate bars in the summer for the extra coolness, and won't even ask about chocolate rice "ice cream"!

I'll just take some "regular" milk chocolate - I don't care for the dark chocolate, unless it's a Mounds bar.   

Mmmmmm, last night my sweet indulgence was a rootbeer float.  Yum!

Started my day off at 8 a.m. outside watering my Garden of Joy and then helped hubby adjust sprinkler heads on other areas.

He worked diligently soaking the veggie garden with his beside-the-row method. By 10 I had to come in as it was already 85 and is high ozone alert day.  Sure could tell it in my breathing... and, common dizziness that serves, I believe, as signal to 'let off the gas pedal' and go inside!!!!!  

Thank goodness, I'm just over the hill, not under it pushing daisies!  

With the intestines and colon area now sounding like growling dogs fighting, I believe I'll stay indoors until the cool of the late evening...  

AND, now to get back to post topic: to calm the fight in the intestional tract, I'll have a cup of hot ginger tea spiked w/peppermint leaves from the Garden of Joy!

IF, the hot is too hot for bod, I'll just take a NAP (usually a rest period on bed) and, drink it over ice when I get up!

How's that sound for a way of celebrating the 4th?

I have a long list......home made blue bell ice cream with Hershey's , made in the shade blue bell ice cream, chocolate milk with my Hershey's . Midnight milky way, Oreos, fresh hot bake chocolate chip cookies with ice cream, I love the yogurt bar thing. Chilling on the hammock of my front deck, watching clouds.  Sitting beside my husband on our double recliner at the end of a long day with our dog Elroy in our laps. An all day motorcycle ride in our Ozark hills with my husband. (when my body is up to it), holding my grand kids in my arms. Skype and face time with my grand kids. all these are sweet things of life.
thanks Bucky and I like mounds also.

Oh my newjoy, that sounds so good!

Oh Bucky, can you tell that I'm so jealous!!!  Root beer float, down the memory road!

Peach Milkshake at Chick-fil-a.  Too bad they have a short "season."

ahh, root beer float, Patze 

We live right down the street from a root beer stand that makes the best floats ever.  It's an old-fashioned drive-in restaurant that serves hamburgers, chili dogs and such.

It's been in business for 40 years, only for the summer months.  They even still have "car-hops" who come take your order from the car and serve you.  On summer evenings the place is so crowded you sometimes can't find a parking spot. And they have old-fashioned hours, too.  It closes by 10 p.m.   
(well, almost everything closes by 10 p.m. Something I had to accustom myself to when moving from Ohio)  There's no run to Walgreen's at midnight.  My husband and I laugh and say "If you need something here after 9 p.m. then apparently you don't really need it"

[Patze]

Wow Mel, an old fashioned drive-in, I sure remember those (so wish that there was one where I live).   And towns that roll up the sidewalks by 10:00PM, I didn't realize how much I miss that...

Meld - do you have a fast-food place called Sonic there?  There, everyone has their own menu and speaker you pull up to, and a carhop brings it out to your car and places the tray on your window.  Just like the old A & W's did.   

My sweet indulgence for today . . . . . sweeeeeeeeeeet tea from Mickey D's on my way home from work - tastes good when the temperature is in the 90's . . . ugh!

For the non-food indulgence, a nice soak in a hot tub, or a good massage (although I don't think I could get more than my back and shoulders done now because of the way my joints hurt).

For the food variety, of course it's chocolate.  But the type I like is called a "Mint Meltaway".  It's a hunk of chocolate covering a smooth mint-chocolate centre, and it is SOOOOOOO good.  It's made by a local chocolate maker (not too local, which is probably a good thing).

Amber, is this made by Fannie Mae?  If it is . . those ARE soooooo good!

It IS kind of nice and quaint that most everything closes early. Makes up for any lack of conveinence. 
We have a Sonic here, but the other one is a family-owned little place and I just tend to like it better. (maybe because it's cute) 

I also agree that a soak in a hot tub is a wonderful treat, too. Probably not tomorrow, since we have a heat advisory. I told my husband today I felt like I have some kind of cabin fever since I haven't been out much. Too hot!
