(Vignettes IX: I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream For Slim Fast Bars And Fat-Free Veggie Dip...)

Yesterday, Beth and I decided to go on a diet.  After sitting on our asses most of the winter and chowing down on every cheeseburger and donut within sight, we figured it was about time to go on a Pot Watch.  I'm at a record weight and she's......well......I'd better be diplomatic and just say that she hides it well.

So, after pumping each other up with vows to eat nothing but broccoli, bag-o-salad, and peaches for the next two weeks, we set out for the mighty Food Lion last night.  On the way, we passed one of those big yellow Schwan's ice cream trucks.  Strangely, a little side door on the truck wasn't secured and it was slowly opening and closing as the truck barreled down the street.

Beth and I looked knowingly at each other.  Sure enough, about 100 yards down the road we came upon a dozen boxes scattered across the street.  Fudgesicles, Nutty Buddys, and ice cream sandwiches lay sadly on the asphalt.

It had to have been some kind of sign.
