Least Favorite Standards
I have two insecurities that I have held within me for years, but today I am inspired to share them with the world. They are my least favorite standards. It seems that any time I'm faced with them, the "norm" is so unsatisfying, but to feed my desires leads to judgmental glares in my direction. NO MORE!
Number 1: I want to eat two donuts in the morning. Not those dinky "I brought these to make people love me" glazed donuts, but chocolate iced, sprinkled donuts. I'm not a breakfast eater, but if I vary my routine enough to go to a donut shop and get breakfast, then I will commit, darn it! One donut always leaves me wanting more. Maybe because the hole always makes me feel like there should be more to it. Whatever the reason, I refuse to order a single donut ever again just because the "average" donut eater only buys one. I will be full and happy. Mr. Average with crave donuts all day.
Number 2: My family goes to this restaurant -- or rather, drive thru -- called Pepe Tacos. It's this little shack in Bryan and its been there forever. My dad worked there when he was fifteen and it's kind of our "best kept secret" because their tacos are DELICIOUS. Growing up, my dad would always get two tacos and a burrito and my mom would get two tacos. Taking my mom's cue, I would get two tacos. Great. For an eight year old. But lemme tell you, Rory Gilmore herself recommends that you get three tacos because "two just never seems enough" and the day I heard that glorious line come out of her mouth, I finally felt like I wasn't a freak for always being hungry after I ate my second taco. This is basically the same as the donut thing, but it needed to be its own separate concern because for YEARS before that episode came out, I always wanted to ask for that third taco, but every girl I ever went to Pepe's with ordered two. And it became the standard.
Never again, I tell you! I am a two donut, three taco kind of girl.
