Bonjour Readers!
Both yesterday and today I had that ice-cream craving. The one where that’s all you want or need to be satisfied at the end of the day. I’ve not been having good luck with this journey though lately, as simple a task as it sounds… The whole drive I had my heart set on the place I wanted to go. I could visualize the building, the sign, the menu. I could almost taste the sweet dessert. Finally, when I got nearer, I could see it off in the distance and the drive thru wasn’t busy at all, there was like one car. I wanted to yell JACKPOT or YAHTZEE, BINGO, anything – because this just never happens! As unluck would have it, I drove to the place I desperately wanted my cookie dough treat from only to find out that their drive thru was down. Okay no problem. The cashier asked me to pull into a parking spot and they would take my order there. Ohhhhhkayyyy! So, I circle around the drive thru lane anxiously looking around for an open spot which I found there to be none. No biggie – lets go around the building again since I wasn’t paying attention to parking spots the first time. Again, there were no spots. Apparently, everyone else got the memo before me and left me nothing… ☹ Not knowing how long it’ll be until a spot opened up, I left and headed to my next place of choice. They couldn’t make me the size I wanted because I wanted extra cookie dough and apparently it wouldn’t fit in the cup. Which basically means…you either pay more for something you’re not completely going to be able to eat OR you get the size you want with never enough ingredients…hmm…pick a card, pick a card, any card! At this point my stomach is straight talking to me, my mind is mashed potatoes so I went with the most logical choice. Eat the money. Pay more. Throw out the rest. OYE! I hate me sometimes. Ok that happened…this takes us to today. I go to my third-choice place since one and two let me semi down yesterday even though three is hit or miss. So, we all know – heck even I know – where this is going! I get to three and they are COMPLETELY 100% SHUTDOWN. CLOSED. NOT THERE. GOODBYE. HAVE A NICE DAY. During this time, I’m having an “Ah-ha!” moment at myself because if I don’t, I’ll most likely breakdown and cry. This should not be this hard. I just want ice-cream for Pete’s sake! I leave there attempting to think through what my next move is going to be. OOOO – I know, I know! Let’s go to…no never mind that…they are just going to give you the same song and dance, telling you their ice-cream machine is down like every other day. And right now, we aren’t going to even take that risk. Being rejected a fourth time is it now? I don’t think that’s necessary. We should avoid that at all costs! Notice how I’m not naming names here because hey I don’t want to throw any businesses under the bus but… Ahhhchoooo! Excuse me. Uh-huh…I bet you thought I was going to name drop right there huh? I’d be lying if I said the thought didn’t cross my mind. I ended up going into a restaurant and ordering their Oreo sundaes. I hadn’t had them in years. I wasn’t disappointed. In the end I guess my luck made a turn for the best. In my eyes the lesson here folks…don’t give up on your dream…or something you really want. If you work hard enough for it or drive far enough for it, you’ll get there...eventually. And the end result will be so sweet and worth it! Stay safe out there and as always, incase no ones told you lately, I appreciate ya! 😊 Comments are closed.
