Dear Ice cream,

Thank you for always allowing me to cry into you as I watch the "Notebook" and curse Nicholas Sparks. Thank you for being there for every break up even when I knew it was coming. Thank you for never talking back to me when I talked about how stupid I was for falling in love with the wrong guy yet again. Thank you for never judging me no matter how much of you I eat.

Thank you for having so many flavors and brands. Mint chocolate chip will always be my favorite, but cookie dough comes in close second.

Thank you for always being everywhere I go. Whether it’s in Ledgewood at Cliff’s,

Hoffmans in Point Pleasant,

Kohr’s on the boardwalk,

Or even a Dairy Queen.

You are always accessible, always surprising me with new flavors and you have never failed me.

The question of a cup or a cone always makes me stop and ponder. A cup is easy to bring anywhere and store in the freezer for later. A sugar cone or waffle cone? Do you want the cone dipped in chocolate with rainbow or chocolate sprinkles? Remember, when you get a cone, you have to eat the whole thing, there is no saving it for later.

Whether it’s on my way home from class or after work after a long day, every grocery store always has the ice cream stocked.

So all in all ice cream, thank you for always being there for me.

Sincerely,

Girls Everywhere
