Adventures in grocery shopping and some other stuff for a Wednesday

Today I finally went grocery shopping. I'm pretty sure I had absolutely nothing to eat. No milk, no bread, no eggs, no fruits, no veggies, no meat. Nothing but condiments and crumbled feta cheese (whis is kind of like a condiment?). It was kind of depressing. 

But this morning I finally had the money (thanks Dad!) to go to the grocery store, so I went to one of my favorite places: Trader Joe's. Should I talk about how much a love Trader Joe's? Because it truly is like heaven to me. I really love grocery shopping anyway, but getting to go to Trader Joe's makes it so much better. Something about the way the whole store is laid out, the cute packaging of everything, the friendly staff...oh I just love it. Few things excite me the way a trip to Trader Joe's does. Not to mention is is cheap. I got tons of groceries for only $75! And I'm totally stocked up for a while now.
Look at all that deliciousness!
I also got to work out today! Finally! And it was amazing...all my muscles are all twitchy and I'm pretty sure I'll be mighty sore tomorrow. I did weights and I haven't done those since before finals, but it felt so good. I'm really excited to be getting back into my fitness regime because it just makes me feel really good to start everyday with a good workout, like it makes me better prepared for what's ahead or something. Probably something to do with all those endorphins.

So far, today is shaping up to be a great day. How is your day so far? Now, I'm off to have lunch with Miranda in Sacramento and then to work!

P.S. Spring has finally, really, truly, come to Davis! It's warm, sunny, a little breezy and basically amazing. I am so excited to get outside and just savor this beautiful weather before the crazy heat sets in...
