Floating Cream

When we were little kids this was always the happiest time of the year. We were out of school, and had the snow to tide us over until the new set of toys came. Now it seems to be one of the most depressing times of the year. The sun isn't out so much, the cold makes us want to stay inside, we have to buy everyone presents, and those of us still in school have to deal with finals which also come with little sleep.

The solution to this problem is Root Beer floats. My co-worker and I were discussing this yesterday when he said he wanted to go to Meijer and get some ice-cream to add to the Root Beer I have at work. Some people eat ice-cream when their depressed. Seeing someone eating Rocky Road right from the carton is right up there with drinking alone. And people can drink Root Beer while experiencing any sort of emotions. But Root Beer floats and depression are not compatible. You cannot remain gloomy while drinking a Root Beer float. Just the idea that in the near future you may be having a Root Beer float can cheer you up a bit. So I think that we should adopt a 3:00 Root Beer float time. Let Europe have their hot leaf water.

For more happy news Sarge has had her first baby, Liam. I think that calls for a Root Beer float. That should be today's task for you. In celebration of Liam, go make yourself a Root Beer float tonight. You can also post your Root Beer float ingredients. For example, last night I was feeling rebellous and made one with Jone's Root Beer and Hawaiian Sundae ice-cream. It's coconut ice-cream with pineapple and cashews. The result was a triumph.
