Over the weekend I made the best blackberry cobbler I have ever made. As soon as I pulled the bubbling goodness out of the oven, I went to the freezer, grabbed the remaining vanilla ice cream, and proceed to eat ALL of it while the cobbler was cooling.
So by the time the cobbler had cooled, we were out of ice cream.
Right around that time, The Girl asked me if I wanted to go running {note: I do not run, I rulk {run/walk, mostly walk}. So I said sure, let’s head over to Target and get some ice cream. She gave me a weird look, shruged her shoulders and off we went.
After about a mile, I could see The Girl way ahead of me. But just then, my neighbor Francisco drove around the corner and slowed down to talk to me. Before he could finish his sentence, I had hopped in his vehicle and asked if he would drive me AHEAD of The Girl and drop me off a few neighborhoods up {pretty sneaky eh?}.
I ducked as we passed her, and we were cracking up. It was awesome.
I knew I had about 1-2 minutes before she would spot me, so I waited until the last second to start running. I had my headphones on so I didn’t hear her approach, but when she did, she whizzed by at top speed. I tried to catch her, but failed. I could tell she was puzzled, but pleased with herself as she turned to look back and give me a smirk.
Target $3.25
Long story short, we made it back home with the ice cream just in time.
Kelly’s Ice Cream Shop $4.50
Also, earlier in the week, The Girl made me go on another Rulk. It was like 95 degrees out, so we bought cotton candy ice cream after we finished.
Albertsons $.50 {tax}

You crack me up! That wouldn’t work with my teenage daughter- if I ran with her (haha IF) she would insist that we be attached at the hip so I couldn’t pull your trick! By the way, did you get the new Hershey Simple Pleasures coupon yesterday? You can get free/cheap chocolate at Target and Rite Aid….
