Eat My Ice Cream Dust
By the time the official first day of summer rolled around, I had already completed my goal to "try three new ice cream shops" in my 'hood.Now THAT'S an accomplishment.
If there's one thing I've learned about goals, it's this: Create ones that are measurable. And by "are measurable," I mean, "involve a tape measure and my waist."
Measurable, indeed.
In the mix of the three shops I visited, I tried not just ice cream, but frozen yogurt, frozen custard, and gelato. (Overachiever alert!) You won't catch me turning a single one of those down, but I gotta say this: I like a frozen milk product that makes my fat cells CHEER.
Sorry, frozen yogurt. No pom-poms are comin' out for you.Speaking of not donning a tiny cheerleading skirt, I'm pretty pleased with checking one fun thing off my list of summer plans.
Might need some ice cream to celebrate.
To my local Portland friends: I included the names of the shops in case you need to say, MAKE SOME GOALS for your summer as well.

I'm definitely adding that to my summer 'to do' list as well! Thanks for the idea. :)
Your goals, Stretch, they are lofty. How do you get it all done? :-)
I love achievable goals. I'll add the ice cream to my list, but make mine sugar-less. I've heard good things about honey sweetened ice cream. And now I HAVE to, it's on my list!
Is is like Ivanhoes---if you walk or bike there the calories don't count? By the way, where is Tart?
Deb: Tart is across the street from Nuestra Cocina (*wiggling eyebrows*)--great Mexican place. Address 2128 SE Division St. They serve both tart yogurt (Hubs' preference) and frozen custard (my preference, by far).
Antique Mommy: I am determined. Nothing stops me from reaching my goals. I also make sure to create highly enjoyable goals to accomplish. :)
