Fresh!

Fresh...my new favorite thing! I like things to smell fresh, as I revealed my craziness in my last post, and yesterday I discovered just how much I love the Fresh Market! Until yesterday I had never been, but now I have the feeling I will be frequenting that wonderful place as long as time and my budget will allow! First of all, when I walked in I was amazed at how pretty it was! No bland decorations, it was all to rich and fancy! Then there were the gorgeous flowers. I came so very close to buying a pot of orange daisies, but I figured I'd spare their beauty, seeing as every plant that I am put in charge of seems to die rather quickly, and I just couldn't be responsible for ruining such beautiful flowers! Next came the produce...it was all so fresh and beautifully displayed! Because I am currently addicted to strawberries, I snatched up 2 containers of fresh Carolina strawberries, and one of them didn't make it through today. Next it was off to the meat section. Never in my life have I seen such good looking meat! I got a treat for my wonderful hubby for date night, and he grilled it to perfection...we may have to make some extra room in the budget to get our meat from there from now on because it was exceptional! I got some more knick knacks on the way out, successfully avoided the alluring candy section, and went on to the checkout line. It was so much fun! I don't know if it's the mom coming out in me or what, but it was an afternoon of domestic bliss! I hope my mom enjoyed it too, because I'll be dragging her along whenever I go...it wouldn't have been nearly as much fun without her! I don't think she will mind too much. She's very much into the organic thing now...I call it her hippie diet...and I think after seeing how it has helped her and as much fun as I had yesterday, I might start introducing some more hippie foods into our diet. I can't say I'll ever be fully committed to it, but adding a few things here and there couldn't hurt.

I now realize that I just posted an entire, and very sincere, blog about a grocery store. Life as I knew it is over...and I'm totally ok with that :)
