Just one of those days

Do you ever have a day where no matter what you do to make yourself feel better or to cheer yourself up you still end up in sweats all day, with your hair in a mess and a glass of wine for dinner? If you don't, I sure do, and today, unfortunately was one of them. I worked the last two nights and while the nights were good they left me exhausted and in major need of deep sleep. So, I slept today until about 4 (with some interruptions from my phone and the tornado, oh yes, there was a tornado in southern California today with the storm). I had a wine night date with my friend Molly who reciently moved to Alaska (check out her awesome blog here) but lacked the wine needed to I decided to do something that always cheers me up...go to Whole Foods!

For those of you who don't know about Whole Foods, you're missing out! Its like a farmers market and organic grocery store all rolled into one, with amazing hand made foods for takeout and delicious desserts that will make even the biggest O.C. dieter crave one. I always start out by getting a fruit smoothie to enjoy while I puruse the market and today was no different. And although I was still in a poor mood, I started at the vegetables for 5 minutes fighting back tears of unknown orgin, it was a good trip in all.

They have some of the most amazing fresh flowers, and at great prices.



And I could go nuts with their desserts and gellato (I passed today, a decision I'm currently regreting)



I did buy cheese fondue and bread and apples and enjoyed it with my wine for dinner while on the phone (for 2 hours) with Miss Molly. Isn't it great to have friends you can do that with? We miss our wine nights we used to have so now they are via phone, but still awesome!



Doesn't that just look delicious? And way cheeper than The Melting Pot! The fondue I bought came in that ceramic bowl and it was microwaveable!! A fantastic way to treat yourself when you're just having one of those days.

Here's to a better one tomorrow! Thanks for the love and encouragement Molly!!!

  1. 1. I can't believe I didn't know that Whole Foods has gelato!

    2. Tornado in SoCal? Insane!

    3. I know exactly what you mean about crappy days. Yay for good friends to talk to you for hours on the phone, though! Here's to hoping tomorrow is better!
