I was just getting ready to leave office last evening when two of my friends offered to give me a lift...via Sprinkles. (Sprinkles is this new cup cake shop which is expected to open in Palo Alto soon.) Initially, I declined their offer saying I am on a diet..but well..my will power is so strong that I gave in after a few minutes...
We set out from office and drove towards the much anticipated Sprinkles...we took the right exit but didn't know whether to go East/West..and eventually got lost...We did trace our way back to the freeway though, and in a few minutes we were at Stanford Shopping Center..looking out for Sprinkles.
We went around the place..but there was no Sprinkles to be seen...At last we stopped to look at the map (which didn't help either). This was when my friend saw a security guy cycling by and asked him..and he said 'Sprinkles, oh that's under construction. It's opening only in September!!! Maybe you guys confused it with the Michael Kors store that just opened today!!!'
What did he think we were..some nitwits who didn't know Michael Kors from Cup Cakes???
Anyway, we made our way back home, dejected...munching on carrots(not a nice substitute for a decadent, moist, cup cake!)
I made it one more day without breaking my DIET, which is a small consolation though!
thats a sweet account of things..... liked it very much.... coz guess anyone will feel dejected with what happened...... nice..... wish i could write like that :P love.
