grocery shopping this weekend got a little out of control.
usually i can limit myself to a couple fruits and veggies, but for whatever reason, i got a bit too excited that so much delicious food is in season and bought a TON of stuff. tomatoes, pears, blueberries, apples, carrots, celery, strawberries, blackberries, oh my.
(also, this is what's left after i've already eaten about half of it.
i know.
i'm huge.
but i couldn't help it.
om nom nom.)
^ which reminds me, i finally bought a new blender after leaving mine back in utah with sarah and micae. FRUIT SMOOTHIE TIME.
^ sean didn't want to be left out of the fresh food party so we bought a REAL pineapple and he taught me how cut it up "properly" today. yum.
anyways, since i worked on a holiday, i had today off to finish watching the first season of "24," eat delicious fresh food and go mushroom hunting with mr. expert pineapple slicer. also, i went shopping. if you know me, you know this is a big deal.
even my mom will admit it: i'm a bad shopper.
but somehow...i didn't do too bad.
here's a cute jacket that i always swore i'd never buy:
^ i always thought these half-jackets were so dumb-looking, but now that it's summer and pretty much everything in sight is strapless or sleeveless, it's going to be a necessity. plus i can wear it for work or church or the beach or whatever.
(probably not actually the beach but you know what i mean)
BUT GUESS WHAT I CAN WEAR TO THE BEACH?!
^ these board shorts ( :
some of my friends from work and i have been planning a trip to noah's ark -- america's largest water park. i'm really excited, except for the part where i have to wear a bathing suit. so i wanted something else to wear. so i bought these.
(from the billabong "recycler" line -- made of water bottles?)
also.
board shorts = $10
half-jacket = $15
look at me buy cute things and not spend a ton of cash.
okay.
i know this has been an epic-ly long blog post.
but there's one more thing you NEED to see.
the kardashian cover of katy perry's "E.T."
need i say more?
