New

Well, friends, it’s happened.

I just couldn’t wait any longer.

Fresh strawberries are officially back in my life.

(And gosh darnit, why can’t I manage to take a picture without the strap of my camera hanging down in the corner??)

I went through a period in my life where I could not live without fresh strawberries.  They ended up in my grocery cart every.single.week. without fail.  Then frugality got a hold of me and I figured I could hold out until they were actually in season so I wouldn’t have to pay some ridiculously high price for them.

Oh and extra ridiculously high because I refuse to buy anything but organic.

I know they’re form California, but hey, at least they’re not from Thailand **cough, bag of shrimp on my counter right now, cough**

I’m not really a stickler for buying organic, but strawberries are the #1 pesticide ridden food, so they’re the exception.

Can’t wait to throw these on top some oats.  Or cereal.  Or a salad.  Or just straight into my mouth.

Strawberries aren’t the only thing I splurged on this week.

Why is is that Target only sells giant spoon rests?

And now we have something to keep all our cooking utensils in.  I believe it rang up as a “utensil crock.”

I don’t care what it’s called as long as we don’t have to keep pulling spoons and spatulas out of a plastic grocery bag.

And finally a new can opener.  The one we had before was cheap and crappy and I had to mentally prepare before using it, or mentally prepare to admit to Joey that I couldn’t do it and could he open this can of black beans please?

Oddly enough, I was the one that suggested Joey purchase the old useless one, because it was cheapest and we didn’t live together so what did I care if he had a functioning can opener.  Little did I know I’d be inheriting it…

Oh and did you notice the new fancy backgrounds?

I’ll spare you from having to look at that stripped towel ever again.

Maybe…

I also managed to end up with some unnecessary clothing purchases in my cart as well.  Hey, a girl has to have new clothes once in a while.

Don’t worry I remembered to get some shirts for work as well.  Will someone tell clothing designers to make some better looking collared shirts?

And here’s something new and different.  I’m actually going to a Rockies game tonight.  It’s been SO long.  Let’s make believe they keep losing because I’m their good luck charm, shall we?

Enough about me, what’s new in your life?
