It's your LUCKY day! You've just won another post about NOTHING from yours truly!! You can go celebrate as soon as you've read it and left a random comment. Have some Cold Stone for me, okay. Just don't tell me about it, because I might cry, since there are NO ice cream places in this godforsaken place I live in.
I didn't realize that I have a slumping problem... until I went to Silver Sneakers training. This is a fitness program for "older adults" (that's what they tell us to call them. I prefer grandma and grandpa!) Anyway, I'm doing the practical test, which we were all freaking out about doing (TEST!? In front of EVERYONE?!) and I got great scores except on one thing... my posture! I was perplexed. Me? Posture problems? I was kind of like, whatever... until it made me start paying attention. Holy cow, do I ever slump! I'm working on it as I speak. Or type. Whatever.
I'm wondering what this blog really is. It seems to be mostly about me me me, but it's called Smith Family Ice Cream Scoop. Am I cheating the rest of my family? The truth is, they're just boring. Believe me, I have to live with them. Should I rename it Mindy Smith Ice Cream Scoop? The subtitle could be "Because the rest of the family is boring". What do you think?
Why does everyone hate to do the plank? I made my class do the plank between every set of exercises last Thursday and they gave me dirty looks the whole time. We'll see if anyone comes back next week.
How come the only people who call me want to eliminate my credit card debt or sell me satellite tv? That's how you really know you don't have any friends. That and when the only thing that comes in the mail is junk mail addressed to someone else.

Hey I slump too... I went and got cold stone last week, the pumpkin creation, I am sorry you don't have one near because it was a piece of heaven i swear...at least you are good about posting, I always look forward to seeing what you've posted, I'd write more about myself, but I am boring...I don't really know what the plank is, I mean I see it , but how long are you supposed to do it for?...I totally understand about the phone calls and mail, I really need to just start calling you, I mean I know we can't hang out, but at least we could call and complain to eachother, laugh at our kids, talk about all the romantic things our husbands do for us, our current method of cleaning house, our workouts...what we are making for dinner...you know everything. Oh I hope and pray that someday we all live close again, close enough that we can see eachother as much as we want to. I LOVE YOU!
I told you not to tell me about Cold Stone! Now I'm crying. Thanks a lot! ;)
I made them hold the plank each time until I saw some start to drop... we probably did it a total of 5 minutes throughout the class. Try holding it for one minute... see if you hate me too.
I love you too! Call me anytime, and we'll talk about slumping, or even cold stone. Someday we'll be next door neighbors. It's my dream.
Cheeseburgers. Never any clean underwear. Wish I had a maid. Or a cook. If they keep driving so slow, I'll never get there on time.
Hopefully this message in your inbox will lighten your day! You're AWESOME Mindy! The greatest thing that I've observed about you is that you have a genuine smile that brings a glow to your countenance. I really admire that. Sorry you're having such a "blah" day... hopefully a delicious ice cream place will be coming your way soon!
I would totally give you dirty looks for making me do the plank for that long throughout the class....mostly because the only shape I'm in is round...as opposed to you, ms. so in shape it's disgusting!! ;) I still love you anyway! It's fine that the blog is mostly about yourself...isn't that why we do this, so we can complain and spout random thoughts without getting the "what are you talking about?" look from you kids or husband?! Plus, they get their face time, when they are interesting or cute or behaving. If you wanna frown, it's okay...just think that your working out your facial muscles! ;)
Here is a great recipe for some delicious oreo ice cream that might make a good substitute for an ice cream place. By a container of Dreyers Vanilla Bean icecream. An 8 oz tub of cool whip and a package of double stuff oreos. Crush oreos, let icecream melt a little and mix it all up in a kitchenaid (or whatever you have). Then put into a 9 X 13 cake pan and freeze. Then you just serve like pieces of cake. It is so darn good and tastes 100% better than the store bought oreo ice cream. Anyways, I love your posts, so keep up the random comments. And I actually LOVE planks I will try to do them a minute at a time tonight! Do you teach work out classes? Sorry about the long comment...
Oh I forgot one thing. I use some of the oreos and put them in a blender and then sprinkle them on the top of the cake. It just adds a little extra yumminess!
Sorry to hear you are in a "slumpy mood" I feel the same way some days. That is why it is totally OK to write about yourself and bad days...so we can each support each other in life. I live in a town with no good ice cream either. Then when we do get to Logan I cannot justify spending the money our account does not have in it for GOOD ice cream. Hope tomorrow is a BETTER DAY!
I totally slump! I've never thought you slumped... at least you have flat abs and straight teeth! I had Reed's Dairy pink peppermint/choco chip ice cream last night after FHE. Come up and visit and I'll buy you one. As well as the choco egg nog. You are terrific. My husband is obsessed with buying guys right now before presidential inauguration. (So NOT in the budget right now!)--that was my random thought:) love ya.
Ice cream gives me a tummy ache now, so I don't want to hear you complain. I still eat it anyway and just deal with the pain.
I am hearin' ya! I've wondered about writing on my blog too...just sorting through a bunch of stuff. But I am glad you wrote your random post. It made me smile!
And if I could, I would send you a coldstone. Seriously. :) If only there weren't 2,000 miles between us.
oh, dear! you totally have friends, they just live sosooooo far away!!!! next time your around these parts let us know and I will buy you cold stone!!!!
Did you ever think that it's not your kids you are boring but it's you that is boring. Brandon told me yesterday (Yeah, he calls me all the time!) they leave you home when ever they want to do something fun (which also happens all of the time!) You are very self centered. You need to look outside of yourself...then maybe next time they will invite you.
Fot those of you that don't know me, and want to quickly judge my comment, this is a joke.
For my bit of randomness, I really think baby Hippos are ugly. I saw one online yesterday under a headline that sain "Cute Baby Hippo is Born," and all I could think was "Ghewwwww!"

Man, I can always count on Jake to tell it to me straight! ;) Watch for a post just for you, Jakearoo.
At least I know that if I ever go visit my friends, they'll buy me ice cream! How lucky can a girl be? Thanks for the recipe, Amy! I'll have to try it. And yes, I teach workout classes... yay for you liking the plank! You're awesome... you run and plank... a girl after my own heart! ;)
I'm sitting up right now after I read your post I'm a slumper too and its a huge pet peve of mine when I see someone else. I just love reading all about you on the smithfamily ice cream scoop. That is why I named my Tari's time becasue I figured it's my time to vent and talk about me. Ha ha
Mindy, I am so jealous of your gym---wood floor not some crappy carpet that is like 25 years old. Lucky you----:)
