Day 175: Payoff



I had to take a picture of this doughnut because it has a history.  I started something called the Mary-thon, which is an incentive to exercise and change my lifestyle.  I promised myself at the half-way point, I could reward myself with a doughnut-- a chocolate frosted cake doughnut with sprinkles on top. 

Well, I successfully reached my half-way point and I was ready for my doughnut.  Since moving out here, I hadn't seen a great bakery that makes delicious doughnuts.  Well, I went to google and it led me to a Dunkin' Donuts.  I went there early one morning before work, stood in line, only to realize that they did not have the chocolate frosted cake doughnut with sprinkles on top that I wanted-- that I needed.  But, since I already committed to standing in line, I bought some glazed doughnuts for some of my co-workers, left for work (arrived late from waiting in line), and ate my treat.  It was not Krispy Kreme... it was not even WalMart quality... it was a waste of calories. 

My craving was not satisfied.  The next day, I was BOUND and determined to get that doughnut.  I woke up this morning, ran a couple miles, and went to a doctor's appointment all with a doughnut on my mind.  I found another doughnut shop and I was ready for my payoff.  I drove to the shop and get to the doors... only to realize that they were locked.  There was a sign saying that it was already closed (I was 30 minutes late), but there was another one open but it was on the other side of town.  I called Jonny, told him my sob story and he said he would pick it up on his way home from school.  So, he called the shop to ensure they had my chocolate frosted cake doughnut with sprinkles on top.  They had one left.  He told them to put it in the back until he could get there.  

Well... long story... here is my doughnut.  And it was TASTY delicious.
