I hate you Dunkin Donuts!!!


Yesterday I had the worst day ever!!!! I left the house at 8am to drive out to the suburbs to visit a training site for the university I work for. At the request of my supervisor, I stopped to get donuts and orange juice to take to the site as a friendly token of thanks for the training they provide to our students. I found a street with open parking...yeah! I went to feed the meter and saw that it would not accept payment until 9am...yeah! I head into the Merchandise Mart where there is a Dunkin' Donuts, no line....yeah! I place my order, pay, grab my donuts and juice out of the cooler and head back out to my car. To my unpleasant surprise, my car is GONE! What! I was only inside for about 10 minutes. Immediately I realize the car was either towed or stolen and I started bawling. I go straight to the meter and read 'No parking until 9am'! What! How could I have misread that? After a trip to the impound and fees totaling $344, I was off to my appointment for which I was 30 minutes late (with donuts in hand). Very bad morning!!! Thanks for your help and support, Chad. Thanks for your sympathies Mom and Trish - they helped tremendously!

  1. HI Megan! So glad to have found your blog! I'm so excited for you guys. Boys really are a blast. There's nothing like seeing father and son bein' best buds. But I guess that can go with father/daughters too.
    Congrats also on finishing school! What an accomplishment. I'm so proud of you! Good luck with everything!

  5. Now that's a bad morning, but if anyone can bounce back from that, it's you! I am laughing right now thinking of Britt and when you two were roomies and she would complain that you were so chipper in the morning! Oh, Megs, you are a rare, happy, gem, and I love ya for it!
