I was going to reblog Jess’s post last night and say how much I love Blue Bell Ice Cream (Cookies and Cream for life!) But I have to agree with Allie on this one! Even though I grew up eating Blue Bell (my grandparents ALWAYS had a a tub of vanilla in the freezer, and a couple more in the deep freeze in the basement), the first time I had Jeni’s a few months ago in their Chagrin Falls store it was a religious experience. I guess you wouldn’t understand unless you know how much I love ice cream….Anywho- The grocery store in my apartment building carries pints of jeni’s ice cream for $11. Yes, totally an absurdly ridiculous amount to spend on ice cream, but Lord, it’s so good. Jeni’s Dark Chocolate for Life.
I challenge any Blue Bell fan to try Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams….I promise you will be a Jeni’s believer once you do :)

Blue Bell - The World’s Finest Frozen Treat
I’m heading home to Houston tomorrow for a wedding (#2 of this year’s 8), to spend some time with my family, introduce Hannah to the great state of Texas and FINALLY take Andrew on a tour of the famous Blue Bell Creamery!
He’s bugged me to schlep the 70 miles out to Blue Bell’s headquarters in Brenham, TX every time we’ve gone to Houston over the last four years. This time, we’re making it happen. The mecca of ice cream deliciousness awaits…
Sadly, Blue Bell was not available in Columbia, MO. However, 20 miles west of Columbia, at the exit for the Isle of Capri casino, there was a truckstop that had a Blue Bell freezer. Needless to say, after turning 21, I spent many nights losing my ass at the blackjack tables and then drowning my sorrows with a pint of homemade vanilla.
‘30 Rock’ Unleashes ‘Shit Liz Lemon Says’ | THR
Smart smart smart.
Love you Liz Lemon. Always and forever.
Was really hoping to hear Night Cheese.
YES.
If you feel like having a good cry at work today, you should watch this video about one of my sister’s best friends, Nick.
Dear AU,
I appreciate you calling me as an alumni to stay in contact. I understand the need for alumni donations. I fully intend to donate in the future.
However, until my student loans are paid off (and so long as the WONK campaign
continues), you’re shit outta luck
Love,
A satisfied, but suddenly poor, alumna
I had a similar experience with Mizzou about two years ago.
They started by asking to update my personal information, including if I wanted to update my employment status from “unemployed.” They then proceeded to hit me up for a donation.
Hey buddy, remember 30 seconds ago when I told you I was unemployed?
CHRISSS It’s not meant to be used every time you have sex. That’s what birth control is for.
Hahaha, obviously I know this since I’m 28, married, and just now found out how damn expensive it is!
Holy shit the Morning After Pill is expensive. Why does nobody mention this when we’re having absurd debates about teenagers using it as birth control? What the hell kind of teenagers can spend $50 every time they have sex?
On way to anti-choice rally Rand Paul refused TSA pat-down. Because invasive government is wrong when it’s a man’s body.Well put TV’s Frank.

Is this the structure of Chicago? (by Eric Fischer)
i love these kinds of maps!
Would’ve been a lot less work to show a map of the Red Line and the Blue Line (and the Brown Line to a lesser extent).
Elena and I became parents to our little man Truman here over the weekend!
Take This Sabbath Day (1.14)
Toby: I had a strange experience this weekend. One of the PD's on the Cruz case, I guess trying the things you do when you're desperate, he went and spoke to my rabbi.
Bartlet: Jewish law doesn't prohibit -
Toby: I know.
Bartlet: The commandment does not say "Thou shalt not kill." It says "Thou shalt not murder."
Toby: I know. But the fact is that, even two thousand years ago, the rabbis of the Talmud couldn't stomach it. I mean, they weren't about to rewrite the Torah, but they came up with another way. They came up with legal restrictions, which make our criminal justice system look... They made it impossible for the state to punish someone by killing them.
Bartlet: We make it very hard to kill anybody in this country, Toby.
Toby: It should be impossible.
Bartlet: But it's not.
Toby: But it should be.
