ice ice baby.

i haven't craved a lot of weird things during this pregnancy, but there are two things i am really stuck on lately.  crushed iced and jolly rancher watermelon icees from target!  both are great, but the icee is my special treat that i've probably had 10 of in the last month.  i chew ice from sun up to sun down...so that's not really a treat as much as it is a necessity. 

but the icee:  yummmmm!  it is the perfect blend of sour and sweet.  and as a general rule, i never purchase anything to eat or drink that is large in size because i think overindulgence is what's wrong with most of america (and that's a tale for another day)...HOWEVER, the jolly rancher watermelon icee is an absolute exception.  i get the BIG DADDY size and i fill it all the way to the top and i thoroughly enjoy the extra long straw they have to give you from behind the counter because the ones with the napkins and other utensils just aren't long enough.  it's awesome.  i find myself coming up with really weird reasons to go to target and then i find myself somehow at the icee counter.... as ben would say, "huhh, interesting."

i got one today. :)  and yesterday.  :)  okay, AND the day before that... but it was a small and very disappointing.  i won't make that mistake again.  in jolly rancher watermelon icee world, go big or go home is my motto.
