Didn't get a lot done, but Colleen and I spent the late afternoon investigating Sprouts, which just opened a store in our area. Somewhere between Whole Foods and Trader Joe's in terms of both price and selection. Came home with some nice mahi-mahi fillets for dinner. (With enough leftovers for two breakfasts.)

Quote of the day:

Colleen: Mood designer fabrics.

Me: Why would they make fabrics specially for mood designers? And what does a mood designer do?

Colleen was worried about how much space she had on her netbook for downloading things like quilt patterns. She has a 160GB drive, so I told her not to worry. But I have to worry now -- about backups.

A couple of really good links under the cut. (*waves at $boss*) I especially liked Estimates Say Fewer Jobs, Larger Deficits if Republicans Were in Charge, but Regrets of the Dying provides a lot of food for thought.

Mmmm. Sprouts. They started in Scottsdale; we buy all of our produce there.

I make weekly jaunts to Sprouts just to get fresh vegetables. I have met one guy in the meat dept - William who is ever so sweet, and then there is the guy who works in produce named Oshea (if you know me you know why I was drawn to him) and last week I met the general store manager. You can sign up online for their weekly flyer of what's on sale.

I have referred others there who are gluten free as well.
