We never made it anywhere for breakfast yesterday, but both The Boyfriend and I were impressed with the farmer’s market downtown. Here’s what we bought:

  1. Sugar snap peas (I LOVE these and surprisingly, so does JM)
  2. Raspberries
  3. One slice of raspberry cheesecake that we were too stuffed to eat last night
  4. Broccoli
  5. Cauliflower
  6. Two quarts of blueberries

Honestly, we could have gotten more, but given that it was our first time there and we really just kind of wanted to check out the quality first, I think we did pretty well. And so far, the quality passes muster quite nicely. And CHEAP! We had to make a run into Kroger later in the day and what a difference in price for the same amount of produce. We will definitely be making this a regular stop.

Then we headed into the Libbey Glass Outlet where we bought new glasses. And then The Boyfriend found this Bloody Mary set that he had to have, which was fine with me because I discovered I kind of like them. Still haven’t tried that out yet, though. We thought maybe we’d need them this morning because we had every intention of hanging out on the porch drinking mojitos last night. We did, but after two of them, I was done. Meaning I was falling asleep.

I had made a pact with myself that I wasn’t going to drink alcohol again until Labor Day. I am so irritable, though. The Boyfriend wanted us to stay at his parents’ house last night, since they’re out of town and he’s feeding the animals. And I sort of flew into a rage because there is so much that needs to be done around my house and being away from it doesn’t get anything done. But staying there was stressing me out as well, so after yelling at both him and JM that “things have to change because I can’t live like this anymore,” I agreed to go over for one night.

The thing is, my mom, who has been staying at my uncle’s house, wants to come back and during the couple of weeks that she was out there, her room has gotten trashed again. So, while I’m relaxing over here (still at his parents’ house), I should be at home fixing up her room again. And that doesn’t exactly help with the relaxation effort.

I think I’ll stop worrying about it until after lunch. That seems like a decent plan.
