Stan's Donuts for Black Panther


This morning my husband bribed me into going to the movies with a visit to Stan’s Donuts. As a lover of the chocolate glazed donut, I couldn’t say no. He booked our movie tickets and we were on our way. The line at Stan’s was pretty long but we only waited about 5 minutes. He ordered his usual cherry old fashioned and I ordered one pistachio lemon old fashion, my beloved chocolate glazed, and a coffee. My husband, the rule follower, was nervous about walking in the theater with our big bag of donuts and my coffee. I took one for the team and carried it all in... shamelessly... 

We walked in, Stan’s on display, and the ticket lady looks at me with a puzzled look, probably thinking; “Does this lady really think she’s gonna get in with those?” Meanwhile I was devising a plan to offer her one in exchange for  her turning a blind eye -haha! She was on my side because she scanned our tickets and told us to enjoy the show. Victory! -she was probably a donut lover, herself. 


P.S. I didn’t get past the lemon pistachio before feeling full. I’ll bring the other one home to Maddy. 


P.S.S. Black Panther was,,, meh... 2 hours and 14 minutes is a loooooong time for me to sit in a theater on a lovely Sunday morning!

    I can't believe you walked in with the bag out! I would never have the guts!

      The old me would have been afraid as well! I blame Stan’s and the movie theater for being so close together in distance causing my lapse in judgement.

Intentions

I chose intentions as my "One little Word" this year. I was chatting about work/life with one of my best friends who has been in my life for over 17 years a few months ago and she gave me probably the best advice I needed in that exact moment, which was to set my intention each day before arriving at work. This happened to be around the same time that my colleagues were sharing their "OLW's" and I thought I would try it out as well. I thought about my conversation with my friend and it hit me...intentions... I wasn't sure if it was the right kind of word but it felt right to me. It is a word that could fit in every aspect of my life. I am constantly thinking about my intentions and they have quickly become the fuel of my day to day. Intentions. Setting  the  intention. Treating people with good intentions. Doing everything with the best intention no matter the situation. What's your "OLW"?

“You don’t sound like your name is Ana.”

My husband and I have pretty tricky names. Tricky for others to pronounce and even trickier when people try to spell them. We are really spoiled with delicious takeout options  in the area where we live and will oftentimes order in on the weekends. I’m usually the one to place the orders via the phone because I have dietary restrictions (low carb diet). When placing the orders I always tell the person on the phone my name is Ana just to avoid any confusion and it works like a charm. This morning was different. I was up pretty early feeding my niece and my ever so thoughtful husband asked if I wanted some breakfast takeout. We usually never order out for breakfast but today was different. We were too tired to cook. He dials the number to our favorite breakfast spot that’s about two minutes away from home. He places our order and at the end the person on the other line asks him; “what name should I put this order under?” He replies without thinking; “Ana...” We hear a long pause until a

Gratitude  On this last day of the blogging challenge I woke up feeling grateful. Grateful for the opportunity to participate in this challenge that forces me to find small parts of my day that stick out just enough to write about it. Grateful for waking up on this beautiful island on day two if our spring break vacation. Grateful for all the people I have around me everyday. Grateful for the opportunity I get to sit with the little humans and enhance their already wonderful minds. Grateful for my beautiful little family. And most importantly, grateful for this wonderful life.
