You know you have a serious addiction when...

You spend 20 minutes on the phone with your mother discussing the Blue Bell ice cream sale at Kroger and all the wonderful flavors they have to offer.

You watch a snippet of Oprah that shows how the Dove ice cream bar came about and you and your oldest decide you must have some as soon as possible.

You eat breakfast as quickly as possible and then make a special outing to Kroger with all three kids just to buy ice cream.

You have been known to talk at length with the Blue Bell delivery man as he stocks the cases at Kroger. Where's my Birthday Cake ice cream?

You go to the self-check lane at said grocery store because you are just too embarrassed that the only non-sugar item in your cart is a bottle of baby bath soap.

You come home with Blue Bell Banana Pudding, Blue Bell Triple Chocolate, Blue Bell Hot Fudge Brownie, Blue Bell Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Private Selection (Kroger Brand) Cookies and Cream (my mom says it's the best by far!) and a very pricey box of 4 Dove original ice cream bars. Oh, and a bag of vanilla sandwich cookies (those darn kids just looked so sweet when they asked me for them.) AND the baby soap.

You put the ice cream in the freezer BEFORE getting the kids out of the car! :)) Well, sort of.

Yes, it is serious, but I could think of far worse! Right? Just don't mess with this family and their Blue Bell. By the way if you come from one of those very sad parts of the country where they do not have Blue Bell, I am so very sorry for you. You can't know what you're missing!

Have a happy ice cream weekend!

That isn't fair. I used to come from Blue Bell land, but now I have nothing but Breyer's. YUCK, not even close. If you send it overnight, does it melt??

They don't have Blue Bell everywhere? Yikes, I am never leaving Texas! :) - Michele
