A Tragedy of Mammoth Proportion

So my cell phone rings and my caller identification informs me that it is Will calling. I pick up.

"I have really bad news," he says.

I can hear a panic in his voice. Some anxiety. Some distress.

"Are you sitting down?" he asks.

I am.

"I'm across the street at the market and I have to tell you something that you are not going to like," he informs me.

Not going to like?

"The thing is," he continues, "they are completely out of peppermint ice cream and the stock boy doesn't know if they will be getting anymore in."

Bad news? Bad news? THAT'S PUTTING IT MILDLY!

I sympathize! I was at my mom's house today, browsing the ads in the Sunday paper. Longs had the Dreyer's Peppermint ice cream listed as on sale. When I got to the store, there was NO Peppermint ice cream to be found! Deeply disturbing.

Good luck on a new shipment. I know how that can be.

I got some this weekend because you reminded me about it a few posts ago. Glorious peppermint goodness. . .

That is so completely tragic. Has a State of Emergency been declared? I hope this doesn't totally ruin your entire 2007 Holiday Season. Keep your chin up! You do have your emergency stash of peppermint recipes now! Now that's what I call a premonition.

That is hilarious! I wish my husband liked peppermint ice cream because I always have to finish the entire carton by myself. Which I guess isn't a bad thing, except for my ass.

How funny. Although, I will admit that I could maybe laugh a little more if I didn't remember the looming days before law school finals. Man, I ate a lot of cupcakes!

How sad! Chocolate chip mint is good, but 'tis the season for peppermint.

That is a sad, sad story!
