The Best Donuts EVER!!

Okay some of you may consider this a late post, this happened on Sunday, but I absolutely have to share. My family went on our annual apple picking trip to Oriole Springs in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin. It is more like on the Illinois/Wisconsin border. Anyway, their apples are amazing and it is so fun to pick them and then eat them. Unfortunately this year because of my braces I was unable to devour the usual amount of six or more apples. Instead, two were consumed, using my dad's penknife that I was secretly hiding at the same time so no one would kick us out. Thankfully nothing happened. It was torture to see so many delicious apples being eaten by everone but me and have to cut mine up into the tiniest bite-size pieces imaginable. We also picked our own pumpkin. This is the first year we have done this but it was only three dollars for a HUGE pumpkin. Most of the ones in the patch were covered with disgusting beetle-like bugs.
Of course after we payed 67 dollars for our three big bags and one small bag of apples(big= 18 bucks each, small= 10 bucks) we drove to Harvest Time. Apple cider, hot dogs, cheese, etc is available for purchase. You can buy apple from the orchard, meat, and all sorts of stuff. A collection of Nigerian goats, turkeys, ducks, and lambs are congregated behind the main buildings. Some of the goats were available for sale. There were hay bales for climbing, a swing set for the tiny tykes, and some unsightly porta-potties. While my brother, my dad and I went to see the animals my mom stood in line for the donuts. A very LONG line. You take a paper, fill it out, stand in line to hand in the paper, pay, then wait until they make the donuts and give them to you. You can see them make the donuts from the store. Seven fifty for a dozen. Those warm donuts are absolute tongue bliss! Even two days later it is impossible to believe that a better tasting donut exists. Delisiously crafted.... mmm.....

A Spark of Inspiration

All of those daybooks I've seen on various blogs as well as a recent post on A Peek Into My Life inspired me. I've decided to make a daybook of sorts of my own. Once I actually come up with it I'll make a post.

Today

The nineteenth day of seventh grade. Perhaps that means something significant. Perhaps not. Perhaps it is a day of stomach aches. Perhaps a day of anguish over forgetting homework, then forgetting that you forgot the homework that you never forgot(aka not really forgetting it). Perhaps a day of wishing for a dog or wanting to eat your BFF's mom's delicious onion rings and mashed potatoes. Or perhaps two of the above. You have a minute to guess which 2 of the above "perhap's" are really true and did happen and which did not. Joking... although I wouldn't mind you guessing.
Today was a day of finding out that my two Cs had risen up to an A and a B. A day of wanting (SPOILER ALERT!) onion rings and mashed potatoes. And a day of stomach aches. Plus a day of emotion and wanting to sleep forever. A day of remebering Saturday's shopping trip(I got 2 amazingly cute fancy dress tops and other stuff). A day of staring and talking and laughing and a million other things. A day of coming up with a FANTASTIC comparison between dogs and the Red Death, and cats and Prince Prospero. From Edgar Allan Poe's "The Masque of the Red Death." A perfect idea for an article.

He jumped off the orange bike and threw it aside in a rush. Huffing with all his earthly might he crashed past Audrey and plowed through the group of people that had congregated before the scene of the accident. An accident that he helped to create. The blood, the screams, the horrid destruction was vivid before his eyes. The bloodred body of the girl who may never move again. The orange bike stained with crimson that was the major evidence of his guilt. His eyes refused to let the horrendous flashback stop playing over and over again. The screeching of the tires and the piercing shriek of terror. The worlds of so many people being destroyed, all so quickly, so suddenly, so unexpectedly and abruptly. Without a second's thought. Lives being lost. Lives being taken away so casually and quickly, as though they were only a borrowed pencil. A pencil taken away from a young school girl, never to be returned. Stolen. Stolen lives, stolen thoughts, stolen actions. All gone forever from those who needed them most. Gone, never to return.

Sorry about that. Inspiration struck so I just wrote. Not the article I was talking about, by the way.
Thanks for reading.
