in detail

i spent my entire sunny saturday working at rebecca's. the day went quickly but i kept dropping bottles of vitamins. perhaps it was because i drank strong fair trade coffee. then dan came in to pour himself some strong fair trade coffee and promptly dropped it.

i left work in the 6:30 darkness and drove home in football traffic. it took me 20 minutes to drive a distance that usually takes me two minutes.

i brought home a bunch of free stuff which included a pomegranate, a neti pot, a box of gluton free apricot biscuits, a beeswax candle shaped like an angel, a tin of whole wheat/soy flour pancake mix, some aromatic fizzy bath eggs, several packets of tomato and bell pepper organic seeds, and a cookbook. i held off on the ground flax meal but i'm not sure why because the stuff is good for you.

customer of the day award goes to a hippy woman who came in with her two kids. she'd weighed each of their bags of halloween candy at home, and had them pick out health food variety sweets and snacks from rebecca's, amounting to the same weight. she was going to throw the prior bags of mainstream candy in the trash, where they belong, she said, and replace the old stuff with the new health food variety stash. she spent $60 on healthier sugar! now that's commitment.

i came home to spicy lentil soup cooked by dan. he even made homemade croutons. it was delicious. he also cleaned and sorted the pumpkin seeds and started baking them. they had been sitting in the refrigerator amongst pumpkin guts all week long. after dinner dan, tashi and i played a lord of the rings board game that dan has had since childhood. it's super cut-throat. dan was gandalf and tashi and i teamed up as legolas. dan won.

now i'm drinking a troegenator doublebock. i get a 30% discount on wine and beer! soon dan and i are going to watch dr. strangelove because i've never seen it and he thinks i should.
