I love breakfast food, just not in the morning. This household tends to eat brunch. I love brunch. It covers two meals with one, but teenage kids tend to be hungry in the mornings (all the time) and I honestly hadn’t planned a thing for breakfast. Oops.

I got Donny up and we decided donuts were in order. Only problem was, since we moved, we didn’t know where the closest donut shop was. I suggested going to Jimmy’s Donut where we used to go before we moved. Donny wanted to find something closer.

Disclaimer: Jimmy’s is roughly 2.5 miles away, but when you live in a smallish town, anything over a mile seems FAR.

Problem solved. Less than a mile away we found this.

I judge every donut shop by their eclairs. If they can’t make a good eclair, it’s a no for me. Eclairs are my all time, I should just chew them up and plaster then on my hips, pastry.

I spied some in the very back of case. Whew, we didn’t have to go anywhere else.

Another problem I have is wanting to choose a little bit of everything. Donny is MUCH better at ordering so I just stepped back and let him do it so we wouldn’t have a 50 dollar donut tab. Not kidding, it’s happened before when I went by myself.

Let the feast begin.

For the record, us hungry adults had already taken ours out when I took this.

But the best part was…

My oh so delicious, completely passed the eclair test, breakfast. Didn’t you know that weekend breakfast calories absolutely do not count.

While the kids were just hanging out and Donny and I were watching Harlen Cobin’s mini series Safe. (He’s one of my very favorite authors and if you like a good, twisty, who done it, you should definitely watch it on Netflix) I had an idea I wanted to try and that meant a trip to Hobby Lobby.

I’m hoping it’s going to work. I’m going to work on it today and if it does I’ll share it. It includes this.

900 feet of jute rope!

It doesn’t include this, but when you find your favorite candle that you thought was discontinued, and it’s 50% off, you add it to the cart. We had a 40% off coupon so it’s kind of like the candle was free. (My frugal rationalization kicking in)

It smells clean and fresh and is not over powering to where it gives you a headache.

We ended the evening picking up Taco Bell (I know it’s not real Mexican food, but it’s my guilty pleasure and I’ve loved it since childhood) chilling on the couch and finished watching Safe.

I normally skip the intro, but the theme song was SO good, I listened to it every single episode, then I even looked it up on YouTube.

You really should listen to it. You can thank me later.
