I started one of the things on my bucket list while we were there. #46 is to leave a toy army man in places that I have never been. So I left an army man at the golf course in Sutherlin. We were there for a golf competition that MacKenzie was in. The week was a lot of fun. I got to meet a lot of the Stockhoff clan, go to my first Costco, see how pretty Oregon is, bought a naughty doughnut for my favoritest cousin, made a new "red-haired friend", read and reread the book Where Willy Went, played cards, and somewhere in there I still managed to spend way more than I should have at a Ross store.
Tel requested a baby orca from the ocean, but since I didn't make it to the ocean this trip it was kind of a difficult task. So I searched high and low and finally found that the dollar store had window clings of orcas. Am I a cheap aunt? Probably. But that didn't stop me, I got him one and then on the way home Sara told me he found one at a yard sale.
Since Jade requested a doughnut from VooDoo Doughnuts I made a trip there right before I got to the airport. This place is crazy. They have tons of different doughnuts to choose from. And plenty of innuendos scattered through out the shop. I will be returning for Jade's birthday present, but we have a few months before that is here so....
Now I am sitting here writing on my blog when I should be doing homework. Staring at a pink box with a doughnut called the cock and balls inside sitting on my desk. That stupid thing had to be my carry-on on the flight home. It started quite a few conversations and I was just nervous the whole time going through security that they were going to make me open the box. Or that I wasn't going to be able to take it on the plane. It made it past security and then we got on the plane and the box was too big to fit between the seat in front of me and the one I was in. So I had to wait until everyone had boarded and then put the box in the aisle and slide it under the seat in front of me. Getting off the plane it started another conversation between me and two of the flight attendants. We get our checked bags and head outside and sit on a bench to wait for our car to get there and another guy starts a conversation with me about Voodoo doughnuts. He asks what kinds I got.... Hmmm... Utah.. Salt Lake, do I just flat out say a normal dozen and the cock and balls? Because let me tell you, that is not a phrase I use often and it's taking my little prudish mindset a bit of work to say it. So I just said a mixed dozen... let's leave out the fact that I have a huge penis shaped pastry that I am carrying around, thank you. So that guy leaves, I smell the doughnuts and decide I want another one while I am waiting and so I start eating one and three girls come up and start asking what ones I got. I think they would have found it funny and not judged at all but still I don't know why I couldn't bring myself to say it again. I think I may have been tramatized from ordering it.
We go into this place and first of all, the lady in front of us in line, I am sorry I had to pause the story to tell you about her, she had the hairiest armpits I have ever seen on anyone. Man or woman. I seriously could have braided it, possibly even French braided it. So nasty! Okay back to the story, so we wait in line for a while and there are two registers. They both had really tatooed girls at them and I was like, perfect this will be a piece of cake. Well right before I get up to a register they open another one and this one has a guy at it. Okay, fine that line is longer anyways. Well I look back at the line that I am in and the tattooed freaky girl is gone and there is an attractive man standing there. Well Gary (Nat and K's dad) tells me to go ahead and order. So I ask the guy if I can get a mixed dozen which is normally ones they pick and just have one specific doughnut in there. He says sure, what one. And according to Gary, I ordered it loud and proud. "I want the dozen with the Cock and Balls doughnut please." I am positive I blushed, he just smiled. I kind of wanted to die. So he tells me that that particular doughnut can't be in the dozens, it has to be sold individually. Okay so we get a dozen, a bacon maple bar and a cock and balls. I leave, Kenzie is carrying the separate box they had to give us for this thing, and we go outside. Her brother and sister in law are waiting and they want to see it too. So they open the box and we are all looking at it and one of their kids is getting close to playing in the road. Don't let things in pink boxes distract you from your children please. I was so worried that a kid was going to get run over and it would be all my fault because I got that doughnut. Well after that we went straight to the airport to come home. I had a really fun weekend and can't wait for us to go back again! That was mostly about a doughnut but I am posting because of the army man mostly... after all, that is the part that was on my bucket list. I will get the first pictures up as soon as I can figure out how. This isn't one that I get to check off as long as I continue to travel to new places.
