Today after church, I stopped by Big Lots. I found lots of great food (organic no less!) and this AMAZING calendar! I know I’m in the minority, still using a paper calendar…but I am! I love writing down my appointments and weddings. I write my potentials in pencil and then write them in pen after they’re booked, it’s such a great feeling.
Today I took a trip up to K&B Bridals to pick up some bookmarks I had left at the Engagement Party to use at the Towson Sheraton Bridal show.
It had been raining, but I didn’t realize just how much. As I made my way through the beautiful rural roads of Baltimore County…I started to realize this rain was worse than I thought. A small road, near Boordy Vineyards was starting to become a river. It was really scary actually.
As I came up Harford Road…I noticed break lights and a 18 wheeler on the side of the road…ut oh. Drove through a smaller puddle and then realized the break lights weren’t for this puddle…they were for another new river….across Harford Road! So, a turn-a-round we go! I think it took me a good hour plus to get to the store…when it normally takes me 40-45. Ah well. I ran in, got my bookmarks, gave my hugs and hellos and left. I had it in my mind to make these amazing muffins…but I wanted to make them with organic ingredients….of which…I had none. Maybe just the milk! So, I’d have to buy pretty much EVERY ingredient! I was going to check out the new Wegmans in Abingdon and even started driving there…and then realized, wait…I have to buy EVERY ingredient! That’s going to cost a bit and we don’t really do a lot of baking. So, I turned around (again)…and thought, wait…I’m in Bel Air….Flav…no, no, I couldn’t…Flavor….no, save money….well…if I can get into the other lane (I play lots of games like this) before the turn….well….I did….
Bret was at work, so I thought, ah, I’ll be nice and wait til he gets home to eat one….
Ha! I have no will power with Flavor Cupcakery
Well…it is a nice shout out to our Day 1! I love our rock placecards! I keep mine on the desk….I have no idea where Bret’s is…
Today we visited Mom’s Organic Market for the first time. You may remember we like organic foods. We typically will shop at Trader Joe’s or Wegman’s. Trader Joe’s has just a little bit better pricing, but the selection isn’t as amazing as Wegman’s. Well, about 80-90% of Mom’s is organic. I think I spent about 80-90% of my time there with my mouth hanging open at just how much organic food there was. Produce, meats, lunch meat, canned food, frozen food. It was seriously overwhelming. They even carried our groceries to the car! Even though there were two of us and only one bag, a jug of juice and a gallon of milk. We were blown away!!!
We will more than likely do most of our shopping here now. We got a few things (we had to put a price limit because it was SO tempting to get EVERYTHING!) including a few treats for me! This “energy drink” Brain Toniq, has no caffeine and a whole bunch of healthy stuff. Maybe not the best of ideas to drink it at 9:00 p.m…..but at least I’ll see how it works!
Also, who can resist Elmo and the Cookie Monster!
