After my morning meeting I hit up the Farmer’s Market right around the corner. I cannot resist those green plums and bought (and ate!) three of them right away. 
I also picked up the biggest head of romaine I’ve ever seen!!! 
Yes, I’m trying something different with my hair. And yes, I would like you to send me a bottle of frizz tamer because this ish is outta control. Don’t get too close I think my hair is starting to take prisoners. 
I used the romaine for lunch. Maybe I shoulda washed it, maybe bugs are good protein. One of those. 
I also stocked up on other veggie essentials. I’m pretty excited about that big zucchini! I’m starting to get “over” raw veggies in favor of cooked ones now that Fall is slowly arriving. 
Speaking of suggestive shaped veggies… have you seen this commercial?
Ben came home for lunch and always packs a PB&J for an afternoon snack. Oddly, a red-headed mouse took a bite out of it! He was sad. 
That mouse moose packed up and headed to her mom’s with a big cup of iced coffee. 
I’m watching my little brother, Matt, this weekend because my mom and dad are headed to Vegas. Lucky. 
She bribed me with Halloween socks and a Yogurtland gift card. I can be bought (let me know if you need my address).
Thank you so much for all the support and vote for my Shape Magazine nomination. The voting continues through Oct. 28th here. So, anytime I’m not particularly getting on your nerves I’d appreciate a nod 
This really answered my drawback, thank you!
I love your hair!!! So pretty!! I love those socks your Mom got for you! Do you know where she got them? I’m kinda obsess with Vampire Dairies right now…………….:)
I actually like your hair like that! It doesn’t look frizzy, but funky (good funky)! Makes me miss my long hair….time to grow it out!
I really like the hair!
Hahaha that commercial! I just voted for you, hope you win!! 😀
I actually really like your hair! Playing around with different styles can be fun.
Okay, that was quite a disturbing commercial. What’s more disturbing is that I had to watch it twice before I realized what was going on because I was only half paying attention to it the first time. Oh dear 😉
Ha! I can’t believe you watched it twice 🙂
I love your hair like that… so cute! Also, I voted for you 🙂
I am also not a super great produce washer. There was a story on NPR recently (I think it was actually on Wait, Wait Don’t Tell Me) to the effect of: people in the future may be eating bugs as a sustainable protein. So, really, you’re just on the cutting edge of that new protein source. Cheers!
Have a great race & enjoy your Yogurtland.
As an avid NPR lover, I am very excited!!!
Loving your hair as well! I love farmer’s markets. Have you ever thought about signing up for a CSA (farm shares) I think it’s best for families because of all the food but it’s such a great idea.
I did CSA last year and it didn’t work too well, but I’m considering it again.
Loving the hair! And what a great idea putting the veggies on the tiers, much prettier than my “throw it all in a big ass bowl” method!
Love the hair!
The color of your hair is so pretty!
I’m also jealous of your market finds. I’m getting ready for the Fall markets to open now..but we’re still in that odd time between Summer weather and Fall so no luck yet!
Your hair looks so good like that!!!!!
Oh yeah, you should definitely wash the lettuce. I always have to with the organic red/green leaf I get in my produce box otherwise it’s quite…crunchy. Not so much bugs, but lots of dirt.
And enjoy that yogurtland gift card! Pre-fuel for the marathon, right?!
Your hair looks good! You know i take bites of my hubby’s food too to check for poison ;P lol…
Btw, your mom looks great. She looks like she lost a bit of weight. Is she still on WW? Matts like yeah….party time!
Target has some cute halloween soft fuzzy socks. I got some orange, white and yellow candy corn socks last week from Target for like $5.
My mom will be very happy for that compliment. She’s not on ww anymore, but is trying to be healthy 🙂
I recently discovered your blog and I am loving it! I’m curious about your journey with intuitive eating. I’ve been trying it and I have a coach (I never thought I’d need a coach to teach me how to eat), but it’s so hard. As a chronic dieter and former weight watcher member, my sense of hunger is so warped. I think I’m ALWAYS hungry and never full unless I’m REALLY REALLY full. Like stuffed. Does it get easier? Please tell me it does. And mean it. 😉
Hi Shannon,
Yes, it gets easier. Stop over-thinking it and focus on other things, let the hunger and food stuff come gently.
Everybody needs a good vibrator! That is all.
Agreed.
You look muy bonita chica!! Love your hair! 🙂
voted for you…”GOOD LUCK!!”
Missed you tonight!
I got there late. 🙁 I figured you party animals would still be there! Next time!! 🙂
“GOOD LUCK TOMORROW MI BONITA AMIGA!!” 🙂
I love your hair like that! It looks really good.
Oh and I just voted for ya!
Thanks Melissa 🙂
I like your hair! I’ve tried the do the whole braids thing but it looks weird on my hair. The top part of my hair will be flat and the bottom will have waves. Not a good look.
I LOVE the hair!! Wavy is so in. Keep doing that! And I didn’t even know you could get Yogurtland giftcards..Um. Can you say stocking stuffer….for myself.
I vote yes on the hair. And the socks. Awesomeness all around. I never did get my Oreos, but I haven’t killed anyone. I was satisfied with a peanut butter cookie the size of my giant Italian head.
I put a lot of Oreos on my fro-yo today! So good.
OMG, that commercial is hilarious! Why don’t they have anything like that in the states? Prudes.
Your hair looks super cute. But the real question is, did Ben like it? 😉
Surprisingly Ben liked it! Normally he doesn’t like my new creations…
Yogurtland gift card?! I’m putting that on my Christmas list! I’m addicted to fro-yo! 🙂
Aw, pretty hair! braids overnight or after a shower? 🙂 love it!
Braids!
