doughnuts
Pinkbox
7/8/13
For most girls, getting a lil' somethin' somethin' from a little blue box is the best kind of excitement one can get from a box. It's the best thing that has happened to boxes. Heck, Audrey Hepburn even had breakfast there!
For me...the best kind of box happiness I can get comes from a different color box...
A pink box.
Pinkbox doughnuts. 'Nuff said.
Okay, definitely not enough said.
I heard about this place over Twitta and Insta and I was like "Hmm...Okay, okay, I need to try this."
So I did.
Remember the last post I made about me being nocturnal and how it's almost next to impossible to get me to wake up, especially early? And then there was that one time where I only woke up twice voluntarily?
Yeah, Pinkbox was the reason for one of them. But, it was totally worth it!
So that was the first time I tried Pinkbox.
The second time was when I saw them post about the newly-popular doughnut, the CRONUT.
If you don't follow DNN (Doughnut News Network) (Jk there's isn't a DNN) (But maybe there should be), but if you haven't heard of the Cronut, it's basically a croissant doughnut.
So on Facebook, Pinkbox announced that they were now selling their own kind of Cronuts! So, obviously, I had to go over and try!
But obviously, I didn't wake up early enough and came too late that they sold out of them.
But, of course, I wasn't going to leave empty-handed! What kinda girl would they take me for!?
And, of course, I shared :)!
The Strawberry Shortcake was my favorite!
Here are my reasons why I choose the pink box vs. the blue box:
1. Pinkbox is now serving ice cream doughnut sandwhiches!
2. THEY ARE OPEN 24 HOURS ON THE WEEKENDS
(I literally wished a doughnut shop would be open 24 hours when I was hauling derrière before their closing hour; wishes do come true, kids!)
Annnd, 3, they've come up with a new kind of philosophy:
Plus, I can still channel my inner Holly Golightly and have breakfast at my favorite "box" place.
But, would I ever turn down that little, light blue box if it was given to me?
OF COURSE NOT.
Lastly, my post-ly recommendation: http://seenive.com/v/959006735769767936
Cass is Nocturnal.
6/29/13
If it was okay to talk in the 3rd person, especially first thing in the morning...I would say, "Cass is nocturnal, please get out."
Because everyone loves to wake me up sooo early in the morning that it is really INHUMANE. A human is trying to sleep! The least you could do is leave a doughnut or say "There are doughnuts."
I've only admitted this to a few people because I know it's probably embarrassing, but...
I've only voluntarily and happily woken up early TWICE this summer.
The first time, it was to go get doughnuts.
And the second...
WUZ BECUZ there WUZ doughnuts!
Seriously. I just rose out of bed like a mummy raising back up from the dead.
I had no idea that when I decided to shack up in my own personal bedroom next to the kitchen that it was part of a silent agreement that I be okay with being woken up at all times of the day, whenever I didn't want to be.
Not cool.
It might be my fault 'cause I like to stay up until the weee hours of the mornin', but there's a reason for that...
Cass is nocturnal.
Also, Cass works better at night.
Also, I'm going to stop referring to myself in third person.
Why I work better at night? Because all of a sudden my mind and imagination work their best at approximately 8 PM to 5 AM.
So what do I do?
The past few nights, I didn't sleep until about 4-5 because I was on such an adrenaline rush of having all these ideas come at me, so I spilled it all and wrote and wrote until I was completely wrung dry for the night and realized how late/early it was.
And I've been having breakfast in the afternoon.
Kinda cool. But, the sucky part about sleeping in is having wasted most of your day and I already feel like I don't have enough time in the day to do anything, so it's crayyzeeeness trying to do all these things.
I've actually been waking up around 11, but I just don't get out of bed until about two hours later because I'm stillll trying to wake up.
Nocturnal Lyyfee.
If you haven't really noticed, I usually blog late at night. (Reread this whole thing if you want to know why)
And that is Fun Fact numero uno.
Annnnnd, this picture has had me laughing for a full week already!
First Trip of the Summer
6/15/13
Just spent the last 5 days in Houston with my dad visiting my sister and her family, and it was super eventful and uneventful all at the same time. How does that happen?
Well for starters, you (as in "me") get sick the very first day you get there and spend majority of the trip sleeping, drinking gatorade, and wearing fever bugs. *Fever bugs are little temperature stickers that tell you if you have a fever and are in the design of little, you know, bugs.*
Then, you spend each day going out to eat while trying to show the city to your dad who has never been to Houston before.
Next, you sign up half of your day touring the university's campus until you're pale in the face and negotiating the perks and consequences of just lying down on the floor and dying right there.
Every single room I was in, was shockingly cold and I had no idea what to think of it. It is so incredibly hot and humid in Texas that when you get in touch with some air conditioning, you pretty much thank the Sweet Lord Baby Jesus a thousand times...until the a/c is on full blast for hours and you're not sure how you went from Texas to Alaska in a matter of minutes.
Remember that Raven picture from a few posts earlier?
......*insert here*......
Aside from all of the mishaps, I still had a great time! Taking a little break from the usual is never a bad thing, so I tried to make the most out of my time there. I love being able to see my family when I can and being with my little niece is always my favorite thing.
Here are some of the highlights of my trip:
But, of course, my absolute favorite part was when the airline lost my luggage on the way back home.
Womp, womp, wompity, womppppp.
But, then they found it in Burbank and sent it right back on ova to Sin City!

If you have ever been to Texas Roadhouse...you know how deadly this bread is.
I'm actually very convinced that Donut Heaven might just be Heaven.
