Doughnuts or Donuts?

Chocolate Doughnut

Today is June 1st and it is National Doughnuts/Donuts Day! 

This is what greeted me at the office, when I went in, this morning:

Not one, but, two, boxes of doughnuts!

There were, perhaps six or seven people in the office, today and there were two doughnuts left, when I left the office in the evening!  I admit to eating the chocolate one I pictured at the top!

By the way, I prefer to spell it as "doughnuts"; but, I guess "donuts" is the more modern spelling?

Lunch was a little more nutritious:

Lunch

Lettuce salad (two types of lettuce, strawberries, a little bacon crumbled, dressing), tuna salad, crackers, and a container of diced mango in light syrup.  Since a "serving" of crackers was five crackers according to the box, that's what I ate, with the tuna salad.  A fresh mango would have been better, I know, but I didn't have time to cut up one, this morning, as I "slept in" till 7:30 a.m. (after going to sleep at 3:00 a.m.) and made the salads in the morning.

I had a very productive day at the office as I accomplished a lot more than I thought I would be able to.

On the way home, I stopped at one of the shopping malls to buy a bridal shower gift.  When I asked my cousin V for a gift suggestion for her future daughter-in-law, cousin V suggested getting something from the wedding gift registry.  I thought that was the best solution, since I don't know the bride that well to get her a more intimate gift.  Since the bridal shower is scheduled for tomorrow evening, I needed to get a gift as soon as possible!  I looked through the gift registry and decided on the set of 16 glasses and a glass mixing bowl that had been requested.  I had hoped to buy them and take to the shower, in person, but, the items had to be ordered, I was told, and will be shipped directly to the address on file.  But the store gave me a little card to notify the bride-to-be that a gift had been purchased.  I will include that in the card I plan to make!

By the time I made my purchase and drove home, however, it was almost 7:00 p.m. and too late to go to the meditation session!  I would have had to rush without having any tea and I would still have been at least 15 minutes late.  It would have been OK, but the meditation would have started and I might disturb the others.  I decided I will skip today's session.  Instead, I had a cup of tea and relaxed.  A short time later, my aunt C called and I had a nice chat with her. 

Dinner was leftover Spanish rice with some ground beef mixed into it - it was a serving suggestion on the packet of the Spanish rice mix, but they added cheese and called it "nacho rice"; I skipped the cheese, since I am not that much of a fan of cheese:

Rice and Ground Beef

I probably should have added vegetables to it, but I didn't!

Daughter, in the meantime, went to acrobatics classes, today!  After the class, she stayed for an open gym type session where she learned to do several partnered positions, where you balance on the feet (and, sometimes, hands) of a partner who is lying down: "the bird", to "the throne" from which she "cannon balled" into a "candlestick" and "star" and one other position she couldn't remember the name of.  She didn't have any pictures of herself doing these positions, but she sent me pictures illustrating these positions that she found online so I could see what she was describing.  She said she had a lot of fun and would have liked to have stayed later, but made herself leave at 9:00 p.m. because she knew I'd get worried if she stayed out later!  Later, we video chatted.

Today, I am grateful for:
- Free doughnuts at the office!
- A sunny day
- A productive day at the office
- Being able to get the bridal shower gift
- Daughter having fun at her acrobatics class

How was your day?  Did you celebrate National Doughnuts Day?  How do you prefer to spell doughnuts/donuts?
