Going to the parents' house today for some pool time and maybe some crabs too!  Woo-hoo!  It's supposed to be nice and sunny today for it.

The whole weekend has been very fun filled.  Friday Scott and I had a nice beef stew for dinner and then went to see Wanted.  Pretty good, very neat effects.  Plot was a little one dimensional, but it had it's good moments to make it a very pleasing film.  There was a one nice twist that I did not see coming, and I'm not talking about the ones toward the end.

Saturday we went back to the movies to see Wall-E!  That robot is so cute and he is so "Johnny", Number 5 from Short Circuit.  I had no idea that it was going to have a giant political message in it either.  The whole under plot is about how we are trashing our planet and ruining our lives.  The point was made not by bashing it over the heads since this movie was made for young minds.  I love how in space (where everyone has to move because our earth looked like a landfill) people don't walk they use hover beds, and all foods are eaten in liquid form out of big gulp cups.  Needless to say every human was fat, even the babies.   I love you Pixar.

The movie was followed by a quick round of Putt-Putt golf.  We had dropped Scott's car off for it's mileage check-up that morning so we were killing more time.  The dealership never called us back though, so I don't know if we can get the car today before heading to Carroll County, or if I have to take Scott up Monday morning.  It was really odd they didn't call, because they had to have finished.  I'm a little disappointed in them actually.

I wanted to be good today and bike to the library.  It's very close to us so it appeared do-able.  I did learn some lessons for next time though:

1. Go closer to closing time.  I went at 10 am when they open and the sun almost killed me.
2. Bring a hand towel.  In the summer you will sweat no matter when you go.
3. Go find a back pack.  I thought I had one but alas no.  Using a tote bag proved difficult.
4. There is a hill, a very big hill.  You can't do anything about it so stop whining when you see it.
5. Avoid walkers, especially those with kids, because no matter how much warning you provide that you are coming up on their left and please move over to your right they won't manage to hear you until you almost crush them.

I seem to be having trouble finding a decent natural grocery store near our area.  Granted most chains or local stores have gotten better at carrying natural, organic and Eco friendly products.  It also helps that the Farmer's Market season is still on.  But nothing up this way has as much variety as say a Trader Joe's or Whole Foods.  There you can get your food, toiletries, cleaning goods, paper products and much more.

I don't mind having to go to several places to get my products if I have to.  Or making the occasional trip to the other places to get everything in one stop.  It is important enough to me that I will if I must.  It would just be nice to have one place near by where I could pick up everything at once and not spend so much time driving to get it all.

Hopefully something will catch on to the area.  I could dream that they install a Whole Foods in Bel Air can't I?

Oh allergies, why must you plague me?  It started last night with a dry scratchy throat.  This morning I have a case of the swollen glands and what looks like a small fever blister trying to form on my lip.  I plan to fortify myself with some Vitamin C and Echinacea.  Let us hope that those and some liquids will do it for me.  We have the stove delivery and pest control today.  I guess today of all days is a good day to be trapped in the house.
