Voodoo Donuts

On Tuesday I took the day off of work because I thought I was having an allergic reaction or weird virus and possibly dying, but it turns out it was just really bad acne. Pretty embarrassing. So, I spent the rest of the day with my mom and brother. They were kind enough to come with me to the Social Security Office so that I could officially change my name. So sweet. It was so nice not having to be there alone because there were some, interesting people there. We waited about an hour and then it was done!

Next, we went to Voodoo Donuts! My mom said it's on her summer bucket list and I've been wanting to go there for awhile. I originally saw them on this episode of Leverage where my favorite character is eating the fruit loop donut, so I needed one.

Good things come in pink boxes.
I felt like a little kid sitting in the backseat. My brother called shotgun. That donut was so sweet that it physically hurt to eat it the last few bites, and I have a very big sweet tooth. It was so good! So different! I also had one with M&M's on it this morning. That woke me up!
My mommy and her donut :)

We got Sammy a bacon and maple donut and when I got home I asked him what he would have liked, and he said just a plain one. That is unacceptable. These people make crazy cool donuts, you cannot have a plain one. Luckily he ate the bacon one!
(UPDATE- When I wrote this post, Sammy hadn't actually eaten his donut. He said he was going to, but did not. It was getting soggy, so I ate it for him. It was quite good.)

It makes no sense to me why Voodoo Donuts is here. There's three in Oregon, and then one random one in Colorado. If you ever find yourself here though, I highly suggest you try Voodoo Donuts. SO GOOD! I feel like a true Coloradoan now.

    That's so random! I've been to Voodoo a lot, and I had not idea they had one in Colorado. I thought it was an Oregon thing. In any case, yummy ;) I like the terribly sweet bubblegum one!

    I seriously thought you had gone to Oregon to get donuts on your day off - I was so confused! I didn't know they had one in Colorado! Drooooool!

Racism, stereotypes, and plain ole judging

Being in a class dedicated to the idea of migration has really kept the idea of racism on the brain. In elementary school, the idea of racism was so defined to me, thinking people are better than others based solely on the color of their skin. It wasn't until middle school after reading many books that I realized racism wasn't jut as issue of black versus white, rather it applies to all cultures. In high school I was actually shocked to here racist statements from people I loved. All the sudden this issue became personal somewhat. (My favorite statement was from a little girl who said, it should be illegal for Mexicans to have babies. I guess I can't have kids then.)  But it wasn't until last week when we did an activity in my public health class that I realized that I myself was being racist as well. Now, this is something I am not proud of. I'm very embarrassed actually and that activity was humbling. Why am I writing about this? Because, it's som...

Toxic Masculinity

It seems like forever ago that they released that Gilette ad about toxic masculinity. I watched as people I'd grown up with freaked out about it, saying that it said that men need to be like women, and that it condemned masculinity altogether, along with other things. I crafted post after post to write on my social media, but in the end didn't bother writing anything. I didn't feel like arguing with people. But I had to share my thoughts somewhere, so here they are.  To me, toxic masculinity is exactly what it says-- ideals of masculinity that are toxic. It's telling your son that he needs to suck it up and not cry. That he can get away with more than girls because 'boys will be boys.' The idea that he can't read or watch certain media because it's "for girls." At the same time, girls are asked to watch things that are "for boys" all of the time. It's the idea that men need to repress their feelings. That they can't be sc...

Little Bit o Writing Monday

The beginning of my short story for class.  When Dora's son tugged on her pants leg, the last thing she expected was to see him holding a tooth. A tooth that clearly did not belong to him. She was no dentist, but she was smart enough to know the colossal thing couldn't have come from Mark's mouth. “Mark, where did you find that?” Dora scolded. “In the backyard.” “Show me where,” Dora commanded. Excited, Mark ran out to the backyard, Dora following on his heels. He led her over to the back of the yard, to the particular corner that couldn't be seen from the kitchen window. There, her other two children were gathered around a hole in the ground. Hole was an understatement though, they'd obviously been working on this, pit, for quite sometime. If there had been no tooth, Dora would have sat the kids down and explained how digging holes this deep was dangerous because of all the water, electric, and who knows what else lines were under the ...
