I didn't actually think that I would have a spare moment to sit down and write an entry today. Andrew and I have been all over town and back again, or so it seems. We desperately needed to do some grocery shopping which meant taking separate trips to Fresh Fields, to Harris Teeter, and to Shoppers. Usually Harris Teeter suffices for our purposes, but we recently decided that we were going to completely change our diet and we wanted to compare selection. Our diet will now consist of more meat and produce. If I were to list what we're no longer allowed to have it would take me all night probably on into the morning. This all started when I bought a book called the Paleo Diet. Ok, why if I don't need to lose weight, am I going on a self-proclaimed "diet"? Well, because my body is addicted to a bunch of junk that is unnatural, stuff that it does not need in order to survive. Junk includes sugar, salt, starch, as well as unhealthy fats. Andrew and I cooked a healthy meal earlier this evening that was in line with what he's read in the book so far. It was a chicken stir-fry. We had some nice wine with it. I actually feel good and satisfied.
Other trips included two different department stores (that were located next door to one another) in search of a wok that was just right. We came home laden with so much more than that, lol. I happened to find a pair of Girl Wonder jammies (which I positively love to lounge around the apartment in) which I didn't already own, some stainless steel chopsticks, favored olive oil (which has good fats in it), pour spouts, and an apple corer. Oh, and we managed to find a wok :). I would hate to think that was an entirely wasted trip. Yes, I am being facetious.
Then we proceeded on to Target because we could not find an egg poacher in either of the two department stores we had looked in. I don't even want to bother with the details of what all we ended up buying, just know that we in fact found the poacher. We wound up back at Target after dinner in search of a vase (to put my orchids in). Again, I don't want to recap further, it would be much too involved. Ok, so I really like to shop... It's not like with cigarettes - I'm not addicted, I swear!!
Well, I have to go put the stuff away from my last binge... *cough*...I mean, expedition to Target. THEN I have to assist Andrew in cleaning up the mess I helped make from dinner. I also wanted to hop into the shower and watch him play a little Clock Tower afterward. I haven't done any sort of chores all day so I guess we'll be staying in tomorrow, for the most part, anyway. I think we actually will be back at Target again. Andrew is jealous of my new Palm Zire (that I haven't even unpacked yet) and I promised to get him one. Oh, yeah my Palm M100 finally died. Submersion is a bad idea, even if it's not really your fault. Rain is not always such a good thing, I suppose. I'm going to go get to it. I planned to sleep somewhere on the agenda...
