I Won!

i won, I won, I Won, I WON!

THGGM and I did our errands by the 'divide and conquer' method today.

He went to Michael's Craft Store - which saved us A LOT of time, as I could spend an hour and leave having forgotten what I went in for - and I went to Barnes and Noble. I could live there if it wasn't for the odd music they sometimes play (one particular female vocalist sounds like a cat in heat but with more shrill moaning).

As we left The Mall we drove past the strip mall with Cold Stone Creamery.

THGGM said "Hey! Let's go there! (he is on a diet and hasn't had anything sweet since March 1st. i, you may recall, am diabetic.)

"Okay!", said I, already imagining myself ordering the Coffee Lover's Only.

He said, "We can't".

I pouted. Of course, he had no way of knowing I was pouting, as he is driving and not looking at me. Also, my face is in a continual pout these days.

So I had to verbalize. I think I said something about him not being a man of his word. Anything to get me to the Coffee Lover's ice cream.

Now, obviously, I know that neither of us can have ice cream. It's obvious because if we COULD we would not want any. We are both immature that way.

We are both immature in so very many ways that I haven't enough band width (is that still applicable? IS there still band width?) to note them all here. But, I digress.

Anyway...

On our early morning adventures in the car THGGM was listening to "The Carpenter's". THGGM thinks that Karen Carpenter has the best voice, ever. Do not argue with him over this, like if you think that Celine Dionne, Carrie Underwood or Madonna have better voices. I like Karen just fine, but am still having trouble with getting songs stuck in my head, which presently has "I Can Dream, Can't I?" holding hands and dancing with The Wiggles version of "Old Dan Tucker".

For me, he turned off The Carpenter's CD.

So, a song came on the radio,

THGGM looked at me and said, "If you can name who is singing this, we will go to Cold Stone."

There are only a few artists who's voices I recognize and presently I cannot think of any of them, except Frankie Valli. When THGGM and I were dating, we once went to a Frankie Valli concert at Calvin College. Maybe that is why I remember him. Or, maybe it's just because he has an odd-sounding voice.

So, I blurted out,

"Justin Timberlake!"

And, I was correct.

I could not name you even ONE Justin Timberlake song. Not one.

Just a lucky guess.

We went tonight.

I had the Coffee Lover's Only.

Tonight, I will not even bother to check my blood sugar.

The ice cream, Coffee Lover's Only, was GOOD.

Thank you, THGGM, for spending a bit of your blood plasma money on ice cream.

And, thank you, Justin Timberlake, whoever you are.

(i won!)
