By the time I got to the farmer's market this morning, well it was noonish. And raining. So there weren't many vendors, but a good amount of customers milling around. Had it not been raining, I would have bought some pansies to plant. And marigolds.

As it was, I got green peppers for 50 cents each and a red pepper for 75 cents. A loaf of whole grain bread was a bit much at 4 dollars, but it has a sweet flavor and lovely dense texture. It's a round loaf, sliced up so that the middle slices are long. I can cut them in half to make sandwiches.

I felt good buying things there, and it helps to get out to places like that. When it's really crowded, I get kind of panicky. So it's good practice. It's like claustrophobia but outside, with too many people. I plan to go back as often as I can. The asparagus was much too big, didn't look very tender. I just have to make a point to get my bum out of bed in the morning.

The rain makes me want to lie on the couch and watch TV. I had "The Big Night" from Netflix. aaah, the food, the wine, the music. It's truly an underrated gem with Tony Shaloub and Stanley Tucci. Before Monk, that is.

Ah, now it's back on the very straight and narrow. To finally beat this weight thing once and for all, to show it who is the boss!! I know I can do it, but for some reason there is a bit of me that seems not to want to. I think it's scared.
