Maria's Sunday 4/27/08

Since my husband was away gambling and partying with
strippers, I too took the opportunity for a weekend of
quiet introspection and peaceful meditation.

I woke each day and did yoga for an hour.

Then I wrote positive affirmations in my journal and felt
gay.

I went for a spirit hike through the woods on Saturday.

On Sunday I went to Whole Foods to get gluten free
ingredients for a pear spice birthday cake, and some
all natural hair products for my fro.



I spent TWO challenging hours at Whole Foods. I have
never bought all natural hair products, so this was an
exercise in patience. I found lavender oil, vegetable
glycerin, and silicone free gel, and I plan to put it
all in my hair. I can't wait to look all soul glow.



Then I got hungry and ate some watermelon, a salad,
and about a full pizza's worth of free pizza samples.

Then I bought cake ingredients and went home. At
home, I watched Raging Bull, since I love an
independent film about a hilarious stand up comic.

Then I baked a cake. Then Justin came home and told me
all about the bloated strippers. Then I went to bed.

A wonderfully peaceful day.

The moral of the story is, when your husband is out of
town gambling with strippers, take some time for quiet
introspection, personal grooming, and pear cake
baking. And watch Raging Bull, since it'll make you
cry in fear.

Bethany's Sunday 4/27/08

We went to Stella for brunch with a friend
who hates grocery shopping as much as we do,
but we still needed to grocery shop.
So after brunch,
to pre-reward ourselves for a job we will have done well later,
we went to Wrentham Outlets.
My husband said my budget was half of my tax rebate,
Thank you for something Bush!
(cuz with the rest he said I'd be responsible
and save it or pay something. yeesh.)
I got 2 pairs of blue jeans,
since I have 3 pairs of black ones already.
One are very skinny, one very wide leg
like the trendy stars are wearing.
The outlet stores closed
and we had to admit it was time to grocery shop.

We went to stupid Stop and Shop
We decided we had 1/2 hour to get everything we needed,
or else...
well, we never figured that part out.
The store was ravaged,
as if the zombies finally came
so everyone bought everything,
in case they stayed for a long time
and no one could shop for a while.
But we did it.
We did it, yay! 28 minutes to be exact.
So to celebrate we went right back to Stella
for a victory cocktail,
and stayed for pizza, sausage and short ribs.
And mango martinis for dessert.

The moral of the story is,
if you hate grocery shopping,
you should have brunch with us on a Sunday.
You might not make it to the Xmas Tree Shop,
but you might get jeans,
and you mos def will get cocktails.

the end.
