the ice cream countess

Dear Coldstone Creamery's Coffee Flavored Ice Cream,

Being a Howard I have learned well from Grandpa that you never turn down ice cream. I remember as a child spending the night at grandma and grandpas house and being served a handful of spoons and a gallon of some ice cream treat. We eagerly watched my grandpa as he showed us the ways of devouring every last bit of ice cream until it was gone. Granted there was me, my sister, and at least 2 cousins, plus him to show that frozen milk and sugar who was boss. That ice cream never had a chance... The later development in life of this new lactose thing has not been convenient, however, don't you worry grandpa i have not turned down one bowl of ice cream that has been offered my way. I have held up my end of the bargain and I'm sure you would be proud.

As for Coldstone Creamery's best creation Coffee Flavored Ice Cream. You are the most delectable dessert that I have ever tasted. Yes you may have a bit of a fight with the enzymes in my stomach that do not agree with your dairy background, but as far as my taste buds are concerned you are the bees knees.

Then when you add a brownie mashed up with those little metal blades and mixed on that cold stone into a concoction that is the right ratio of ice cream to brownie and makes my taste buds do the happy dance.

Thank you Coldstone Creamery for allowing me a lactose intolerant person to enjoy such glorious creations as coffee and chocolate. You truly have made this tumbling tummy of a lacto lass work extra hard for the evening.

Yours truly,
Ice Cream Countess Kelli

the name problem

dear friends, family, and coworkers.

my name is spelled with an i, as in ice cream, island, igloo, or iguana.
not an ie or a y or an ee or any of those other arrangements of ways to pronounce an EEEE sound.

I know a lot of the time i pretend that i don't care that you mispell my name, but i care. so please spell it correctly.

k thanks
Love Kelli (with and I)
