donuts and target and ottomans

this weekend was the weekend Scott and i were originally going to get married before we decided that waiting to get married would be a lot less fun than being married (we were right about that one). naturally though, we had to celebrate our almost-wedding weekend in style so we went shopping.

this shopping trip has been a long time coming, though. the ratio of Scott fun days to Allie fun days was a little askew, since i'm in school right now. i've been letting all my fun days build up though, which isn't a bad idea because then you get one GIANT fun day where Scott gets to tread at my heels and hold mounds of clothes and watch me try on shoes and not even complain about it! it's a win-win for both of us ;).

while in salt lake Scott got this very strong need for a donut. this was particularly exciting for me. it's pretty common for me to find little quirks of Scott's rubbing off on me. like the other day he was showing me some hunting video on youtube (riveting stuff my friends) and i was able to name the brand of camouflage they were wearing. this is not anything i would choose to know, but it's just part of the gig i've come to find out, which i can accept. so when we are driving around salt lake and Scott DEMANDS (not an exaggeration, he was demanding it) that we find ourselves a donut shop, being the sweets connoisseur that i am, i'm not about to fight him on this. as it turns out, though, most bakeries are closed at 5 pm on a saturday, so we settled for some dunkin donuts. this was our first experience at the dunkin, and we're still wondering what all the hype is about. although, i can't say i expect much from a 5 pm donut. so props to you dunkin, for even having donuts in the early evening.

Scott did really well actually. with the whole shopping thing. he made it all the way to about 7 pm before he was "over this day". i've been told shopping with me requires some stamina. i managed to milk a small bit of energy out of him for target. where dreams go to party. plus we had a bazillion gift cards to use up from the wedding and if that doesn't give you a second wind then heck if i know what will. so we had a heyday in target saturday night.

i know we're both real adults now because our favorite purchase that night was a storage ottoman and we are THRILLED. driving home we raved about the ottoman, and we couldn't wait to tell all our friends about the ottoman! that you can STORE things in! and it was on SALE! the ottoman sits at the end of our bed and every day thus far it has been a small source of joy for us. yesterday, i told Scott, i sat on the ottoman to put my boots on! and it was a treat. this does not compare to sitting on your bed to put shoes on. nay. when you sit on your bed to put shoes on you sink in and fall back but this ottoman. this ottoman is sturdy and stable and it will never falter. we love the ottoman.

and because i'm too lazy to end this post in an organized manner. look! picture. despite the looks on our faces we were actually pleased. this was our first bite, and we had yet to critique the dunkin. we were just glad to have found it.
