Wow, I’ve been pretty addicted to popsicles lately.  Between the pure fruit bars and the creamsicle style ones, my fridge is pretty packed with sticks of frozen goodness.  I go through at least two or three a night (and this has been going on for nearly a month)!  I also have some ice cream and frozen yogurt, but it’s really the popsicles that draw me in.  Perhaps because they are pre-proportioned and fruity, so they’re a lighter alternative to a couple of scoops of ice cream, which would fill me right up.

I’m not sure how it started, but one day I decided to go get groceries and when I went through the frozen aisle, I couldn’t resist a couple of boxes of popsicles.  From then on I’ve been pigging out on them day in and day out, with no sign of stopping!  At least this weekend I got watermelon ones, which are very light and refreshing.  They remind me of the frozen watermelon juice my mom would make (aka watermelon ice cubes).  Still, refreshing as they are, I certainly didn’t shy away from stocking up on the creamsicles as well.

Now I’ve got popsicle sticks all over the place, and I even started using one for scooping out my body butter.  Those things can be pretty practical!  Too bad I don’t need dozens of them though.  Maybe I should look into making my own so I don’t waste all that plastic, cardboard, and wood.  That would be fun!
