Grandpa and icecream

Feb 09, 2010

So here I am its midnight and yet again I can't sleep. I have just started my journey and started a food journal and found an interesting trend already. I eat more at night. During the day I am a full time on line student and usually lose time because when I work I tend to absorb myself in it. So I don't eat as much. At night my BIGGEST weakness by far is ice cream. It connects to my childhood. My family was always going to Dairy Queen for everything. If I got an A on a test. If we got into a fight and made up we went to Dairy Queen.  It goes as far back as my Grandfather. My mom and I lived with my grandparents until I was 10. And I would sneak downstairs at night and Grandpa would always get a scoop of vanilla ice cream and the old fashion can of Hersey's syrup. And tell me "Don't tell your mother" as he would grin and walk away. My Grandpa was the main male in my life for a very long time. He passed away in 08 and miss him a lot. I got off on a tangent somewhere. But it feels like if I give it up I give a piece (memory) away of my Grandpa.
