the donut

today i had a maple bar for breakfast. a maple bar and chocolate milk and a poppyseed muffin. if you know me, you may be surprised to hear that i have been trying to eat healthy. (i actually assume that anyone who reads this does know me, but i was gonna say "for those of you who don't know me, i have been trying to eat healthy," and then i realized those words made it sound like those who know me would obviously know i'm eating healthy, which is unlikely considering i can't kick some habits. namely desserts. and french fries.)

anyway, i've been thinking about a chocolate raised donut all week and resisting the urge to buy one all week. you know that old shopping strategy though, the one that says "if you leave the store and you're still thinking about the sweater a week later, you should go back and get it?"

i bought the donut.

i asked for a chocolate raised and as her gloved hand went to the glass, i shouted "No! Maple Bar!"

before i bought the donut, i was thinking about which of the many achievements of the week i should make it a reward for. and as achievements of the week were slim, i decided to buy it for myself for just being me. how do you like that?

the donut was so worth it. i only wish i could have made it last forever. i'm mid-muffin, and it's pretty darn good too.

go buy yourself a donut. you deserve it.
