ahhhh....doughnuts.......

Ahhhh……donuts……I feel like Homer Simpson when I say it. Then to spell it…..is it DONUT or DOUGHNUT….we’ll go on the assumption that both are acceptable. :)

So, why the blog about donuts?


Well, today, Steve announced he wanted a bear claw and wondered how long it would take round trip to get from our east Memphis studio to Gibson’s Donuts. (It was 15 minutes in case you are curious!) He returned with not 1, not 2, but 3 boxes of donuts. One was specially marked for me. I expected it would be a cake donut as he knows that is my favorite. Inside that box, not 1, not 2, but EIGHT cake donuts. (As pictured above!) One of every variety they offer!

So, early on at 6:45am the willpower was on. I selected the cinnamon sugar cake donut as my lone choice. And being so smug that I had my willpower on, I stated teasing Steve that he had almost 2 entire bear claws…. around 45 grams of fat the best we can figure. Well, as fate has it, every time I tease anyone it comes back on me. My willpower faded close to 9:00am, I had the blueberry cake donut and now Steve and I are coming down off our sugar high. We are getting tired and grumpy right about now, but for those glorious moments as we indulged in our tasty treats, we were happy…and would still be if we believed in moderation!!!! Oh, well lesson learned. We will do better next time.

A New Blog

You know it’s been a long time since you blogged when you get an email that says “Hey love your radio show, but how about an updated blog!?” Yeah, I am sorry for the delay. Why the huge chasm in blog time?


First, I finally joined Facebook which has taken me to a new level of "use of computer time" in my life. I am now somewhat addicted to it, thus, my hesitation to ever “get on” Facebook in the first place. But now that I am on, I will henceforth refer to Facebook as fb. :) Second, my computer at home crashed, down with a sickness. I usually do all my blogging in the afternoon at home. I no longer have that luxury (for now anyway) as I am blogging today at work.


So, what to blog about?

Steve (Conley my morning show co-host) is sitting across from me right now. He is friending even more on Facebook …..oh yeah….fb. :) Last week he hit 2000 friends, now he already has 2130 (give or take) he is just so popular. After being on one month now, I have just over 600. I find the whole concept a bit fascinating. It is fun to catch up with people, but at the same time, do I really care that “Zena” just had a great sandwich? I’ll fb later.


I could blog about the fact that the musical MEMPHIS won the Tony Award for best musical this week. And how much Green Day rocked the award show. And how I saw the Orpheum’s Pat Halloran there on national TV sitting in like the third row!


Or I could blog about the Memphis heat.


Or I could blog about how I enjoy watching Friday Night Lights on NBC or how I like watching reruns of Gilmore Girls. (Gilmore Girls I have just discovered and I really like it so far! Sure, I am a few years behind on this one, but the shows are all new to me. : )


I could blog about my boys….they are growing up so fast…..they are 7 and 10 years old. WOW. Where did the time go and why does my 10 year old act like he’s a teenager.


Or instead of blogging (or Facebooking) I could just do laundry, clean out a closet or actually attempt to purge some kid items out of my house that we haven’t used in years. Ugh! I guess I have inadvertently just typed what I need to go do.



Have a happy day online. I am off to do laundry. Then I’ll come back and blog about how much I detest folding clothes. :)
