Dunkin Donuts!

Our Dunkin Donuts, which took, like years to build, is finally open! It's in a strip mall that also houses the best ice cream and B-dubs, home of some tasty, tasty wings and other stuff that's tasty, too. Oh, yeah, it also houses our gym, but that's like a serial killer obeying the speed limit.

What makes me happy is that it's the first donut shop that's not in Marsh or Kroger. I remember going to the Krispy Kreme store (you know, where they made them FRESH, not like Kroger's week-old versions) when I was a kid in Alabama after church. Talk about tasty. We also had Dunkin Donuts and some other place, which I don't remember the name of. But we move up to Indiana, one of the heaviest cities in the nation, and there's no bakery around. Weird. They fry everything around here, but no good donuts? And, no, bagels don't count.

I'm looking at my schedule for the rest of the summer, and it's gotten me depressed. I really wish our school went to an all-year format. Long breaks just make me dread going back. It's like starting at a new job every year. I know, boo hoo, smallest violin in the world, yada yada. Only from a teacher.

Added note: Alabama isn't exactly the healthiest place in the world, either.

I can't wait for school to start! Then you poor suckers, I mean, teachers have my lovely, I mean, rotten children all day. *winks*

Yes, I would like a year round calendar, too.

You lived in Alabama? I never knew that about you.

We used to walk to Dunkin Donuts when I was a kid. I could sit at the counter and have 2 donuts and some chocolate milk from one of those school lunch type cartons. I suppose it was worth the money for my mom to send my bro and me to DD so she could get us out of her hair and have her morning cigarettes in peace.

There is a donut only shop on SR 32. Only sells donuts. Owned by the same man for more years that I can count. You should try it sometime. I use to eat one every wednesday. good stuff.

Nay, is that the donut shop by Firehouse Pizza in Westfield? If so, it is closed every time I go by. Is he open from, like, 5-6 AM only? I swear, even if I drive by in the mornings he is closed!

Noah said yesterday that he wishes the sidwalk on 146th went all the way down so he could ride his bike to Dunkin Donuts everyday for lunch.

Lunch? didn't anyone ever talk to that kid about good nutrition?
