Dunkin Donuts is supposed to be here as soon as September. They have been promising me Dunkin Donuts since Spring. But they have an address now and we checked, the property is no longer on the market.

Ok, that may seem like stalking but it really isn't.

I mean not in the way the Dunkin Donuts feels threatened by my adoration because DD and I have an understanding. I love their coffee and fantasize about being able to eat the donuts even though we know I can't eat their donuts, unless of course they have those double chocolate Boston Kreme. Which they only had the one time but I got one and it was WONDERFUL. But they still spell Kreme with a K and I was raised by the Grammar Police so technically this is a forbidden love and those so very rarely end well.

And you add to this that I have an on-again/off-again relationship with Donut Hut. I mean we haven't actually set a date or anything. It is just that when DD was way down in Texas, except the one in between the A and B concourses in O'hare, I had the Donut Hut. Even when they didn't have a Bavarian Creme they did spell it right but I made no secret of the fact that my heart really belonged to DD.

OK, when I found out they had Farmer's Brothers coffee maybe I might have said something about pledging my soul to them forever. But everyone says that don't they? Really I didn't open a vein or anything. It wasn't an actual blood oath.

So anyway, I am trying to think of the next story I should blog about. It is a toss up between Portland Oregon and Sunny Isle, Florida. They had DD in Florida I think, I'll have to go back and look at my notes. But definitely I need to come up with something to distract me from the DD. Because I just looked up the nutritional facts on a Boston Kreme - the regular one because the double chocolate isn't real, it is sort of a myth that I tasted and no one else ever did. Regardless, I could so afford a Boston Kreme on any day I went to the gym.
