Are You Kidding Me? No Cinnamon Rolls?!

So I drove ALL the way to my favorite hometown diner earlier today to get some things for tomorrow’s 30-foot snow shut-in—a French vanilla cappuccino, 2 slices of that fabulous bread pudding, and a huge cinnamon roll as per usual that I can warm up tomorrow in the microwave to eat while drinking freezing ice-cold milk in my PJ’s while watching TV under a blanket on the couch.

The scenario played out so well in my head during the drive out there. Sooooo, where are all the freaking 6″ x 5″ x 2″ cinnamon rolls that belong on the top shelf here?!!! It was only 6:00pm and the snow flurries had only just begun.

Well, the possibility of a 30-foot snow shut-in apparently terrified the crew enough to stop production of the cinnamon rolls just in case they had to evacuate and head home before the snowstorm. Chickens!

What?! You can’t just stay open without the cinnamon rolls. It’s like McDonald’s staying open without hamburgers. Just shut the whole place down, if that’s the case. Because why stay open at all? I mean, people make ‘pit stops’ 10 miles out of their way just for the cinnamon rolls for crying out loud! Hello!

Naturally, I had a discussion with the manager about my ‘pit-stop’ drive and the main reason I came out there and my utter disbelief. At least they gave me my cappuccino free for my troubles. I still want a cinnamon roll.

So, if you have nothing else to do today, let’s see if we can’t figure out how to get me one of these cinnamon rolls before the storm kicks in!

Take-Away Life Lesson: Never get too happy before it’s time. You’ll only disappoint yourself. Ugh!
