passed it up

ice cream crossed my mind when i was at my parents' place earlier.  there is a still unopened gallon in the ref beside the bed i use when i sleep over at their place.  i brushed it aside, at the back of my mind thinking it will just remain there anyway.  then i drove home.  suddenly i'm craving ice cream!  ugh!  there's nothing at my place except two cans of spicy tuna and a block of cheddar cheese.  no ice cream.  i should have had some when it was still within reach...
