Never Ever Dull
With every conversation, I always seem to end with "Never a dull moment"....our lives are rich, complex, and beautiful stories. Join me in laughing about everyday things and appreciating life-bumpy roads and all.
Not too terribly long ago, I entertained the kids by taking them to Krispy Kreme in our pj's. (I know-such a wild and crazy life, huh?!) We would select our favs and watch them carefully be placed in a box. We grabbed a bunch of napkins and headed toward a booth. From there, we'd devour each doughnut, savoring every bite. One day, I started up a random conversation with my crew and it went like this: Doughnuts reflect our personalities. See, I chose a chocolate covered doughnut with rainbow sprinkles. That pretty much sums me up: I love extra sweetness (globs of chocolate) and enjoy creativity (the colorful sprinkles). The kids studied their doughnuts and realized that they had chosen doughnuts that truly did display their personalities. The football for the kid with aspirations to make it big in the NFL, chocolate iced with creme filling for the one who seemingly is quiet but really is always overflowing with sweetness, holiday shaped doughnut covered in colorful holiday icing and sprinkles for the kid who will never grow up and has endless spunk, etc. As it so often happens with my gang, it got competitive after that. As people came into KK, we began predicting what they would pick. Oh, that person is a blueberry (who gets those doughnuts at Krispy Kreme? That's borderline healthy!) Those would be for the ladies arriving in their Lulu Lemon workout clothes. Then you could always figure out those who wanted plain. Simple, not over the top kind-of-folk. Crullers were easy to pick out. If you don't know what that is, you need to visit Krispy Kreme and try out this experiment. The tough call was between a raspberry-filled and a custard....hard decision and could go either way. You really should give this experiment a try. It just goes to show you that you are what you eat.
