Market

We enjoyed the market this morning. And are very proud of ourselves for passing up the delectable treats enticing us to eat them. Pastries, fresh breads, lumpia, candied nuts of every variety. We did get a small bag of fresh kettle corn - slightly sweet, a teeny bit salty but not too oily. And ate only a small bit of that and brought the rest home for the kids. We bought some fresh peaches, organic salad mix, some shelled fresh peas and two bunches of flowers (the best deal - $3 each or 2/$5).

Sadly, the Medifast oatmeal is just gross. It has the same texture as barium paste and tastes about as appealing. All that's missing is the 'mint' flavor. It's disgusting. J. was able to eat his. I passed. I might try mixing it with Quaker instant to see if that helps at all. I eat oatmeal a lot in the mornings anyway - but will definitely pass on the Medifast version. Too pasty. Will talk to our 'consultant' tomorrow to see if I can trade our oatmeal boxes for more shakes or soups, which are yummy.

J. is heading to Modesto with the boys for some shopping. We got H. a stereo for his room and unfortunately, it doesn't have a jack he can plug is iPod into so we need to exchange it for another one. And B. broke a lug nut on his drum set and the only store that might possibly carry replacement parts without having to special order them is in Modesto. And H. needs new football cleats to break in before practice starts in a couple weeks.

I will work on house stuff a bit. And we will hopefully spend the late afternoon in the pool when they get home. It's a lovely 80 degrees!

I am enjoying my first Saturday morning 'at home' in weeks!
