thebratqueenHeat wave? No thanks, already have one.
Got lots done today. Visited the local farmers' market (TBQ, a week ago "We have a farmers' market?" TBQ's sis-in-law: "Yeah, downtown." TBQ: "We have a downtown?"). It wasn't very big - the market by my big bro apparently is packed and even has people selling "right out of my cow and into this bottle" milk and such. But it was fresh, locally grown fruits and veggies and that's always cool.
Gotta remember to buy the honey next time. Local honey, always of the good.
Didn't get much because I had a ton of errands. Tomatoes, basil and garlic were pretty much the order of the day. Bread from the bakery and some olive oil combined to make a lovely bruchetta dinner. I will definitely be making that again.
Also got some noodles from some Amish girls. The label on the bag said PA so I'm wondering if they had to haul themselves all the way up here to sell. That's gotta suck. But I admire their dedication.
Boy am I going to be annoyed if they were just wearing costumes and are actually local.
Went bra shopping at a local place that specalizes in "No, my eyes are up here" bra sizes. I had them measure me and do a fitting but this basically turned into the woman doing tape around my chest once, then bringing in various bra sizes and styles to see which ones fit. Um - thanks? I mean it worked and all but I'm not seeing how I really needed the hand there. "Go to store, find things I like, try them on in a slightly larger cup size than I'm wearing to avoid the bifocal boob problem" was something I already had a handle on, but 'kay. Bought three bras which actually fit and still look nice, which is good. They also look like bras which is a nice thing. It's so frustrating to see the styles that basically look like a big ass canvas shirt.
Finally I reorganized the kitchen, which had been unpacked by my Mom (God bless her) but which wassn't totally laid out the way I needed it to be. I think I'm still going to make changes to it as I go but this is at least closer to what I want. I've decided I'll hit the rest of the apt room by room to make similar changes.
