Minor victory of the day: Oz got out, had an encounter with the neighbor's dog, and I managed to get him back in the house without him flipping out like a mammal.

Also, I may have found someone to mow the lawn. You think that if you advertised a service, you'd call people back when they called you. NSM with lawn mowers.

Where do fruit smoothies fit in? If I make a smoothie with fruit that means I'm getting the good stuff, too? Or does smoothification ruin it?

I think you get all the fiber, even after the smoothification. At least I want to think that, as I love me some smoothies!

am home. I eventually went to the mall and did some shopping. 2 skirts, 1 pair pants, 3 cardigans - $75. good times.

Perkins, I take back my Clarks rec - at least not this season, the most color they have is red. In the past they have had greens and blues and oranges.

mac has worked through his stuff. he did homework and uncle g cleaned up his stuff for me (he also got told he was a "horrible man", it's somehow nice to not be the only one who gets that). I may make a cake later, Hummingbird if I can find all the ingredients.

recent parents of babies, favorite online sites for onesies?

Guy just came to talk about mowing my lawn. He was HAWT. I hope I wasn't noticably ogling. On the minus side, he was wearing Ed Hardy. On the plus side, he showed up (unlike some others who wouldn't even phone me back), gave me a reasonable price and seems nice enough.

This is the most exciting baseball series I've seen all season! Sorry, javachik.

OMG, y'all-- local farmer's market opened today. There are going to be more vendors as the season progresses, but so far, I'm more than pleased. Local dairies, lots of produce vendors, and just overall fabulous atmosphere. Plus bonus-- it's in the parking lot of the bookstore, so we get bookstore visit as well.

Two purchases of note, a raspberry vinegar that is delicious and a white chocolate key lime sauce that is just too decadent. Oh, and some gorgeous potatoes.

I think I need to make a lemon blueberry bundt cake to serve the sauce over. Perhaps I should make dinner for friends so I can make a lemon blueberry bundt cake.

Yeah, as I sit here wincing, I think of you and Amy and I grit my teeth!!! ;)

If the smoothie is made from whole fruit, you should get virtually all the value.

Re my post from earlier - snce I'm not a big fruit eater, pulpy juices appeal when I have that taste for something fruity. I know they're not remotely nutritionally the same. I did think that, sodium concerns aside, and they do have a low-sod version, V-8 was more nutritionally sound. (Though if I'm wanting veg, it doesn't cure the craving at all. So I guess it's actually completely opposite, disregarding everything I said before.)

Who was it who was looking for the McCormick spice jars with the green lids? We got rid of most of that stuff when my dad sold the house, but I found one straggler this morning and snagged it.
