spontaneous donut date


Tuesday, January 17, 2012

When you add the word "spontaneous" to anything it automatically adds a bit of fun flare to whatever you're about to say next. It implies that you are confident, a risk-taker, and most importantly a big ball of fun. So yesterday when we were out and about doing errands we just happened to be in the same shopping center as this grocery store that makes the most AMAZING colossal donuts for only 57 cents, yo! Here's how the spontaneous date ensued:

Me: Soo... I think a sprinkled donut sounds mighty tasty right about now.
Jared: You ready to hop out?
Me: You kidding? I'm always ready! [action: quickly unharnessed my seatbelt, rolled out of the moving car, tucked between oncoming traffic, jumped over the curb and bolted full speed for the bakery! Or maybe I just unbuckled my seat belt, casually walked across the street and stood infront of the automatic door that read "EXIT" and wondered frustratedly why the door wasn't opening until a man kindly pointed out to me that I could be admitted in through the "ENTER" door.]

However it went down, I courageously went into that grocery store, took what was rightfully ours and presented Jared with his chocolate frosted sprinkle adorned donut. {Notice Evelyn giving us the one evil eye, glaring at us in envy}
 And the girl who cried "I don't have a donut! You just gave me hand santizier to play with!"
I hope we have more impromptu dessert dates coming up shortly :)

  14. We always go for spontaneous donut runs...well, as much as we can. There isn't a good donut shop in town so we have to get them from the gas station. Doesn't matter...my daughter loves them all the same.

  17. Oh I love doughnuts! It was my favourite pudding as a child! I remember that I even stuck little post it notes on my mom's steering wheel, begging her to bring me a doughnut when she got back from work. She must have had such a laugh at my spelling though, because I had no idea how to spell it!

  23. Once in a while you just need a donut.

    Why don't the exit doors still open when you are outside of them? I find that annoying.

    Little ev's evil eye is pretty priceless :) I would be giving you the eye too if I was donutless in the backseat.

  24. okay, this is pretty fantastic. i'm craving one now. i think it has officially been well over 2 years since i've had a donut. say what?!!! my son has an egg allergy so no donuts allowed in our house. it's a crying shame.

  25. Whenever my husband mentions he has some cash in his wallet, I know it's my cue to run to our local hole-in-the-wall doughnut shop. It's like a secret code. haha
    This post made me think of Matilda & the quote, "Much too good for children". :)

  34. Something random. Reading your blog is a little odd for me each time, cause you use the same font as I do. I don't know why, but it always catches me off guard. :)

    And my GOSH I need to quit reading food posts. I havent eaten in hours. I want donuts.
