This is why I've been too busy to write lately.
It's snow cones. Snow cones are making me too busy to write.
You see, my kids are running their own snow cone stand this summer. No; wait...I beg your pardon. Not a snow-cone stand, a Hawaiian Shaved Ice stand. There is a difference. About $.50 a cup difference, it looks to me like.
And I am very proud of them. They are exhibiting a true entrepreneurial flair. Their work ethic is heartening. They are learning all sorts of wonderful life skills.
I, however, am cracking up. Snow cones are invading every facet of my life. I am obsessed with ice supplies. I talk to my date about things like Tiger's Blood and SpongeBob Juice. I have numbers like "1-800-ICE-FUNN" and "1-888-BRRRRRR" on speed dial on my cell phone. My fingers are stained neon blue. I reek of sugar. And at nights, I have nightmares about massive armies of ants invading my home town.
Who knew an innocent little summer treat could cause me all this angst?
But, as Silas says, "Hey, we're not just selling a cold beverage. We're selling a Way of Life."
So there you have it.
The Snow Cone Life.
We're livin' it.
Oh, yeah.
5 CLICK HERE, and you can have your say, too!:
I've lived that lifestyle... And now I'm trying to work it off!
Well, your first mistake was not coming to us.
We are proud to offer sugar-free options in Cherry, Cola, AND Pina Colada, thank you very much.
(Sour Punch $.25 extra.)
wish you were closer. we've purchased small stock in the local shaved ice emporium. jared belives it's a long-forgotten food group. just think, when summer's over, you can convert to an expresso stand & keep that revenue coming...
oh, guess i picked "anonymous" in error; this is cousin deb if there's any doubt.
Hi everyone
Just introduce myself: I am a man (says my wife), I am 50 years old (hmm, that looks bad isn't it?) and I am a terrible bad programmer (I say myself).
My hobbies: computer (of course), my 17 years old son and of course my wife. I like to play billiard, I do a very little bit and very simple programming in VB and I try to make a site for my billiard-club in the near future.
Look forward to 'meeting' you all, Dennis from [url=http://www.myonlinepayday.com]Personal Loans[/url] website!
