Ok, it's really late and I'm about ready to head to bed when I see one of the bloggy giveaways is for a lot of ice cream. My one huge weakness (ok, I probably have others, but this one's HUGE). My mother says I get it genetically from my grandfather-to her-to me.
Anyways, I head on over to the site, www.icecreamsource.com, to check out the flavors. They have some really unique ones, and I'd really like to try them all. However, one stood out to me, black licorice ice cream. I know many people think black licorice is disgusting, but I actually like it so I'd really like to try it in ice cream version.
I think I deserve a special sweet treat. I'm a new mom, feeling alone in Southern Texas, and now craving black licorice ice cream (thanks a lot, hehe). Now if I can only win this contest, I mean seriously, it was meant for me!

I'm really enjoying the Bloggy Giveaways Carnival. There are so many items I'd never have come across on my own. I'm currently adding stuff to my wishlist and driving hubby crazy with my 'hey, look at this!'. If you haven't already you should really check it out. Also, as a new mom, I'm finding there are so many cute and unique items out there. I love being out and about and not having the standard cookie cutter stuff.

If I can figure out how to add a button, I'll add the Carnival button here.

My first attempt at blogging

It seems like everyone is doing it. So, as with other things, now that it's been firmly established as the norm, I'll consider jumping on the bandwagon. Well, here it is, my first blog! Now if only there was a way to wrangle all the incoherent thoughts running around in my head and organize them so they're somewhat sensible. Even better, a way to have some semi-interesting thoughts generated in my brain. :)

Anyways, here I am, living in San Antonio staying home with my 3 month old daughter. I don't know anyone in this city and it's a far cry from the seasonal, tree/grass laden environment I left back in Maryland. Even going to school in South Carolina wasn't as foreign as being here. I guess I'll really be an East Coast girl forever.
