Whole Foods

I like Whole Foods. The food is tasty, the produce is fresh, the staff is friendly, and the store is impeccably clean.

Unfortunately, everything is incredibly expensive, which is why I rarely shop at Whole Foods. Eating at the deli there is as expensive as eating at Chili's.

Today, I got sick and couldn't keep food down. After taking a long nap, I decided some clear chicken soup would do me good. So I headed out to Whole Foods because it's the closest store I know of that sells chicken soup. And heck, I'm sick. I can splurge an extra dollar for a bowl of piping hot soup. At the store, I was distracted by the watermelon section. I have been craving for watermelons for a while now, so it was only logical that I would pick up a watermelon as comfort food.

At the checkout, the watermelon rang up to 22 dollars! "Who pays $22 for a watermelon," I exclaimed. The cashier replied respectfully, "Ma'am, the watermelon is $1.50 a pound and this watermelon is about 15 pounds."

I told him to put the watermelon back.

Studly

I was not here for this dinner conversation, but the conversation was described to me later:

W: Charity says Yul from Survivor is studly.
L: Does Charity know what "studly" means?
W: I think by "studly" Charity means he is good at puzzles.

Mark and Charity

The domain markandcharity.com is registered to a couple, Mark and Charity, in Kansas! What are the odds of that?!

They have been married for 13 years and they have 5 kids. Charity's blog has cute quotes from her kids. I feel like I've found my long lost twin. Mark laments about not being able to get the domain name.

They are Catholics and they practice Natural Family Planning. I don't think we'll be doing that. Just seems risky. ;)
