Jen -

I've Krispy Kremes. Will these do?

- M

@ Jen - There's a lot of excitement here where I live because there's a rumour we're getting a Tim Horton's right in town!
At the moment it's a 15 minute drive away - but in walking distance would be pretty awesome!
*gets giddy with excitement*

I was out checking out barbeques today.
Managed to leave my little rectangle of plastic in my purse though!
I thought hubby better have some input as he'll be using it to....one hopes.   ;)

Our week of celebrations kick off tonight with the firework display for Jean Baptiste Day tomorrow  - and it's raining! It's good if it is delayed to tomorrow because it was last day of school and my two are asleep on their feet - still insisting they want to see the fireworks though!

Fireworks sound like fun!  I'm envious - have you been to the big competition in Montreal?  I've obviously only heard about it but it sounds really cool.

I thought TH's were like weeds - popping up everywhere?  Maybe it will still get built.

I find krispy kreme donuts to be kinda weird... They're good, but deffinetly not like the donuts I'm used to. (Timmies and countrystyle and such places)  They're... I dunno... kinda less doughy.  More melty I think... heh.  Hard to explain and it's been a while since I had one.  I've never really gotten hooked on them when I had them though.  It's been more of a eat one so I can say I've tried them kinda thing.  And a local highschool sold them for a fundraiser a couple times so I'd buy one to support them and get the added bonus of sugar. hehe

Flupi, have you ever had a Krispy Kreme that was just cooked? I love to go to their store and get them right off the line. They are this melt-in-your-mouthful of sugary-goodness that cannot be touched by anything else.

In my opinion, once they have cooled, they are no better (or worse) than any other donut.

Today is the first day of summer holidays around here. My son is gaming and I slept in til ten. Heh.

I'm thinking of getting a PDA. I've been told it could be a big help to me, for remembering things. I just wonder if they're as useful as they seem.

I moved beyond post-its to the realm of numerous tiny rainbow pads. I have little notepads all over the place, colour coded for certain things. But I'm forever losing the darn things.

See, I don't know anyone that actually *has* a PDA, so I can't ask questions. Meh.

I don't leave notes for myself at home but I do at work.  And I agree on the pleasure of crumpling them up.  Or scribbling over them if there's multiple ones on the same piece of paper. heh

And I'm pretty sure the very first krispy kreme I had was just made or close to it.  Still wasn't too blown away.  Like I said, it's not like the donuts I'm used to.  To me donuts are sweet but also doughy.  Like sweet bready stuff, but Krispy kreme ones aren't doughy.  They're still good, just different than the donuts I already love. :)

Rainy this morning, but got out in the garden and was weeding the herb garden, pinching back the basil that is threatening to bolt. Too late for the dill, flowered when I was away a work one day!

Now my hands smell like rosemary (the last herb I was weeding around).

The thyme is taking off like a weed. Planted two kinds: wooly and sliver-edged. When the girls were little, they thought growing "time" in the garden was hysterical. Wonder why they don't find it funny anymore? *sigh* I wish they were little again.

Wish y'all would send some of your rain my way, Calesta. It has been in the mid 90's F every day for the past six weeks and bad drought conditions. We're buring up down here. My electric bill will probably resemble the national debt next billing cycle. Wasn't great this time, $199.
*sigh*

How are all you fine peeps?

Hope all are well, now I'm off to shower and go play cards with my son, his SO and his SO's mother.

Toodles!

*grin*
I know exactly what you mean...I absolutely love TH doughnuts, but I can quite happliy walk past krispy kreme, without any urge to go in. And nobody does a jammy doughnut like Tim Hortons!!!!! *L*

Funny, when it rains on Mondays, I hear the Carpenters ... "rainy days and mondays always get me down."

School's been out here for a month. Daughter's settled nicely into that "its summer vacation and I don't want to do anything" routine.

But *heh* she's got Les Miserables on her summer reading list for AP English. Better get cracking.
