Random Notes from a Sandwich Weekend
1. I HATE MY COMCAST connection. Sigh. Sometimes it’s fine but sometimes it SUCKS. Do any of you local readers have alternate internet service you would recommend? This is making me nuts.
2. I love the farmer’s market with all my heart but man it can be expensive. I guess I’m feeling really broke right now as grocery store prices are freaking me out too. Mind you I don’t begrudge the vendors the money----they deserve it and more but I did cringe when I paid $7 for the bag of green beans. All that being said I was pleased with my somewhat restrained haul of beautiful green beans, sweet little baby zucchini, tomatoes, peppered goat cheese and some pork steaks. Oh…and of course chocolate chip cookies for Leo (no nuts mind you) and an ice cream sandwich for Owen.
3. Owen pretty much enjoyed the farmer’s market, particularly when we bought him that ice cream sandwich. Leo, on the other hand, said we walked so much that his legs hurt. Yup, the same guys that races around the neighborhood just couldn’t take walking up and down a couple of aisles. We suggested that as soon as we got home we have him put his feet up and rest, perhaps use a heating pad and drink some liquids to replenish fluids. He just growled at us. It’s really fun to pick on Leo.
4. Farmer’s market highlight: I got to meet LBOTP and elusive peanut(let me just say the peanut is adorable)!
5. I’m thinking of painting my dining room orange. I’ve had a green in there that I’ve never been happy with and I’m thinking orange would work with what is in there as well as the deep gold of my living room. We’ll see….Ernie’s not totally on board yet….
6. I feel SO much better now that my friend Kathleen told me the reason she had snakes in her car was because when she put her lawnmower in there IT had snakes in it. Then she told me that she could smell when they were there and she’d see one down by her feet and then it would slither up behind the dash. EEEEEEEK. It never occurred to me that she continued to DRIVE HER CAR WITH SNAKES IN IT. This is someone I consider a very close friend. I may have to consider.
7. An unnamed cat (I’m thinking it’s Bob) has begun dragging dirty clothes from the pile next to the washer in the basement and up the stairs and into the kitchen. This is the same cat that grabs Lego wheels and takes them downstairs. Huh.
