Well, I’m sorry to say the other morning I lost it and starting ranting to no one in particular about how I don’t like that many cereals and how I buy this cereal just for myself because everyone else likes all the different cereals and I don’t and how I put the cereal way up in the cupboard so everyone should know it was mine and how could they eat half a box of cereal in one sitting.

The all wise and knowing Scott finally said, “Alisa, they’re going to eat your cereal because they like it too.   Maybe you should buy two boxes next time.”  Oh my gosh!  Why didn’t I think of that?  Here I’ve been trying to hide the cereal from them when I could have just gotten them their own box.  I mean who doesn’t like Lucky Charms, right?  The only problem I see is when they finish their box in 2 days and come searching for mine.  Man, I need to find a better hiding place.

Do you have something you buy only for yourself and guard with your life?  Why do they always find our hiding spots?

Fridays for Seminary (early morning church) were donut days and that meant Stan’s.  No substitutes would do.  Stan’s has obviously been a family favorite for years.

Now I know at least one person who’s been to Stan’s and lives out of the area.  Found anything to compare?
