Blueberries, TJ's shopping and Pedi Day...


This mornings tweet was for me to pick blueberries, shop at TJs (Trader Joe's) and then get a well deserved pedicure... Well, all of this DID happen plus running other misc errands.

I picked 4 quarts of blueberries in 40 minutes when the humidity got the best of me so I decided that was enough picking. I brought the blueberries home so that they wouldn't bake in the trunk then ventured out again.

While heading to TJ's I remembered that a wine I liked was on sale so took a small detour to buy a case of Tohu's, Sauvignon Blanc at a great price. I followed a wave of people getting their last liquor purchases done before the new MA alcohol sales tax starts on Saturday. While at the liquor store, I noticed that Leinenkugel beer was also at a great price. Knowing that this is one of David's favorites, I called and asked if he wanted me to get some -he asked me to buy as much as I could fit in the car.... so I bought 6 cases of the Classic Amber and was still able to squeeze my single case of wine in the trunk in between my two pair of golf shoes, umbrella and misc golf attire that's typically in my trunk.

Trader Joe's was my next stop and as usual, bought more than planned and stuffed the bags in the back seats and headed home.

Next on my "list" pedicure. It's been quite a while since I've had a pedicure and a longer while since I've had a pedicure locally (last summer I had my pedi in Beacon Hill while visiting the kids). I started looking at reviews online of local spa's, nail salons and wasn't feeling great about going to any of them. I emailed and called a few friends for advice and by the time I was off of the phone it was 4pm and I really didn't want to venture out and possibly deal with rush hour traffic.

It's now 6:30pm and I'm happy to report that I did indeed get a pedicure and discovered a way to make a good pedicure great by pouring myself a nice glass of wine while giving myself a good pedicure... The money saved with my do it yourself pedi paid for 1/2 case of the wine that I got today.

Ahhhhh - another great day - CHEERS!!!
