Last Thing You Bought?

Yesterday I went to the co-op and bought:
Apples
Blueberries
Carrots
Grape tomatoes
Three different veggie salads
Grilled seitan
Spicy avocado hummus
Tofurky sliced sandwich “meat”
sliced cheese
Drinking water
Almond milk
Vitamin D
orange juice
yogurt
And some special stuff for a special someone – shhhh I can’t tell you. :D

I had some coupons and I got 10% off my total for pick-your-own-member-appreciation-day, but when the cashier told me the total amount, I still had to ask him, "Is that after the coupons?" He said yes. :(

I avoided buying bananas and summer fruit at the co-op because the last time I did, I didn't like them. I liked them better from Whole Foods, so I'll get them there later this week.
 
Wow...I've never had a bad banana! Lots of other really bad fruit like my beloved watermelon...worst year yet for it. Peaches, pears and plums have not been great, either.

I did get some delicious corn, tomatoes, garlic and cucumbers from a farm stand I stumbled upon today.

The bananas have been going from green to black without ripening. :(

Yes, exactly. :(

Bananas have completely sucked lately. The only decent ones I find are the organic Whole Foods ones. 99¢/lb. :(

Yep, that's why I'm planning to get them there instead of elsewhere.

@Dropkick, not true about the sheep, wool is not painlessly obtained, I'm really sorry to say. :(

I thought they basically just got a haircut (I've never been around sheep except to pet them - relative has a couple that like being petted - good for the skin on your hands, natural lanolin - she has the sheep so her dogs can practice herding them - she enters her dogs in competitions).
 
Bought a acoustic guitar on a whim. Thought it would be fun to learn. Might have been wrong.
Making chords is painful. My fingers don't want to bend that way. The tips of my fingers also hurt from depressing the strings.
However I spent almost $300.00 on it and it's accoutrements* so I'm going to learn.

* case, tuner, spare strings, picks, guitar humidifier (didn't even know about this- I guess it's a needed thing in our climate), shining cloth, instructional video, instructional books, strap


P.S. going back to the land for a few days - type at you later

Good luck with the guitar! :up: People who play a stringed instrument such as a guitar tend to develop calluses on their fingers. The professional musicians usually start early in life and build up those calluses over time. But when you're new to the instrument, it hurts like hell.

I still have the acoustic guitar I got when I was in junior high school. I took a beginner's class and sort of picked out simple kids' tunes such as "This Old Man". I still have the sheet music in the case. Because it's a 3/4-size guitar, not a full sized one (because I'm short and petite and a full sized guitar would be too big for me), I have it in a soft case. I haven't been able to find a hard case for a smaller sized guitar, although I haven't looked for one in quite a while. I once took the guitar with me to a women's music retreat and tried playing the guitar - this was after it sat unplayed for about 25 years, and yes, it hurt my fingers like hell because I hadn't played it. I haven't touched it since, but I also can't bring myself to get rid of it. I need to have it restringed. It's actually on my to-do list, but it's low priority, so it's way down at the bottom of the list.

Please have fun with your guitar. :)

I thought that this would make a nice gift to someone who has a sweet tooth and whose performance in the Indonesian Iron Man competition, was brilliant.

The craft store in my local mall recently turning into an outlet store, meaning nearly all the products for sale were about 40% off their regular sticker price. I bought a few packs of paper for paper quilling, which is my new crafting pursuit.
