Cravings


People are always asking me what cravings I have had these past few months. And I always reply with the truth. Not many. Sure, I have a hankoring for something that sounds good at the time, but I have yet to experience the true "craving". That is, until yesterday.

It actually started the night before. After Gabe and I test drove really nice Chrysler Pacifica, we stopped for gas and I was left waiting in the car staring across the street at a Krispy Kreme. I thought to myself "ooooh, that sounds pretty good"...but I suppressed the thought and we drove home for a more nutritious dinner.

But I couldn't get those donuts out of my head. All night I thought about them. Dreamed about them. I could even taste them and feel them melting in my mouth. I have a Krispy Kreme donut maybe once a year. Honestly, I don't really care for them. They are too sugary in my opinion. I would rather have a sprinkled cake donut. So what is going on?!?!?

The next morning, I asked Gabe to look up Krispy Kreme on the Internet and tell me where there is one on the way to work. Turns out, there isn't one that is on my normal route to work. Bummer.

So in the car I go, trying once again to suppress this now obvious full blown craving. Nope, I gotta have them! I know where there is one a little out of the way, but not far off the route. I am gonna go!

Radio traffic says there is a big wreck on the highway. Looks like I can't go that way today. POOP!!! Guess I will take the back way. Radio traffic then says there is a big wreck on the back way too!!! What to do??? I am already late for work. This is just a bad morning. Again, I talk myself out of Krispy Kreme. I don't need them. They are not good for me and baby bean anyway.

Fast forward to the traffic jam I am sitting in. Stop and go. Uh oh, my pea size bladder is full. I have about 20 minutes left on the drive. I am not going to make it to work. I gotta go! I can't hold it too much longer! Agony! Guess what? The turn off to Krispy Kreme is coming up! I am goin'!!! I mean, I gotta empty my bladder anyway, I might as well do it at Krispy Kreme right? YES!!!!!!

Decided to get a dozen and share at work. I had to fight really hard to not tear the box open and eat 1/2 of them in the car.

Finally make it to work. Ate two of them faster than you can say Krispy Kreme. It was Heaven! Everything I dreamed it would be!!! Ate another about an hour later. Yummmy!!!
Major tummy ache. No more Krispy Kreme for me. Craving over.

You really crack me up. If I would have thought to go one way and had a traffic jam and thought to go another way and hit another traffic jam, I would have taken it as a sign from God that I should NOT have a Krispy Kreme. I am glad your craving was satisfied.
