new ObSEssION

It's been around for ages, but it's new to me...RUMMY!  I was re-introduced by my boyfriend and I want to play every free minute I have!  I don't need to play for money, and I still get my butt kicked, but I'm working on my strategies...and I can smell a little V-I-C-T-O-R-Y in my future.

Sentry on Hwy 31? I'd rather starve

So, last night 1.6.07, I stop at Sentry to pick up a pizza and salad for dinner and a couple extra necessities (an apple a day...).  I walk into the produce section, and honestly I was horrified...it was the most bare, desolate, depressing produce I had every seen.  Gosh, I already started to miss the former Jewel Osco.  I tried to look past this as I went go pick out salad...and HORRIBLE selection...then I thought, I'll go plain with the salad and just add a bunch of veggies to it...ok, I look at the veggies and I put back my 2 apples and removed myself from this store...with a secret vow NEVER TO RETURN!

Uggh, thank God for the wonderful Pick 'n Save on Hwy 50 where I customized my very own salad with all the fixin's for only $1.80 and picked up a wonderful Greek pizza!  And, of course, my fav stop at this Pick is the bulk bins!!!! Woo-hoo!  It's wrong, I know, but I always take a little snacky poo of the best looking mix - YUM.  And I also buy, so don't give me that look!

I just look at where I started my dinner search - at the sorry Sentry and where I ended up..at the Pick n' Save of perfection.  Props to the Pick!

Eat. Pray. Love

Written by: Elizabeth Gilbert

Inspiring, intelligent, and real.  Loved it, loved it.  About a writer in her 30's that goes through a grueling divorce, and gets an amazing opportunity to travel, for 1 yr, to India, Indonesia and Italy.  This book tells of her travels, experience, and amazing life changes.

It makes you appreciate love, healthy relationships, and definitely gives you the itch to travel!  I'd honestly buy any book by this author.
