My parents came up today and we all went grocery shopping together. I had to run some errands the Millersburg way, so we headed to the Millersburg Wal-Mart (my favorite). But first, I had to stop and drop off something for a friend of ours. You'll get to meet Stan soon. Hopefully Saturday you'll get to hear about him...
We ate lunch at East of Chicago and took advantage of their "Any Pizza, $9.99" deal. For $9.99 plus drinks and tax came out to less than $5.00 per person--and we were stuffed. Then, off to Wally World. It took awhile, but we finally got through. Then we were off to Berlin, about 15 minutes East of Millersburg. Remember, heart of the worlds largest Amish community... My veterinarian (the one I used to work for) is there. I needed to stop and get a printout of which of my animals are due for what shots. Dr. Wise (I call her Dr. Amity) is coming next Thursday to vaccinate the dogs and cats and to look at our horse to see if he needs his teeth floated. In case you just asked, "Teeth...what?" I'll save that for next week. "Herd Health Check" day, as I call it, is always fun. This time there will be an extra degree of difficulty because I found out that Dr. Amity is pregnant and her due date is getting close!
After the vet's, we went to Nature's Food Market in Berlin. They are a natural health store. I'm really trying to embrace healthy living--not necessarily go all natural or all organic, but at least make an effort to be that way when I can and when I can afford to. I picked up some shampoo ("Whenever" shampoo by Kiss My Face), lotion ("Radiance Body Lotion with Royal Jelly" by Burt's Bees) and nasal spray by NutriBiotic. I wanted to be able to pronounce and know what the ingredients were in these products--or at least know most of them. I'm just shocked at some of the ingredients in things. What are some of those things anyway? I did pay more for the products, but if I'm using something that is better for me and better for the world, can you put a value on piece of mind?
After Berlin, we headed back to Wooster. Mom and I needed to go to Aldi. Then, Mom needed to go to JoAnn Fabrics. After there, we split up--Mom and Dad dropped me off at Buehler's, our local supermarket, and they went to Lowe's. We met up again and headed to the equity making a detour at my bank to make a deposit. We got to the equity at five minutes till close, got dog food and kitty litter and finally headed back to my house. Whew!!!
I'll list the websites for the products I purchased today at the health store under "Interesting Links". Check out the new entries under "Where I've Been" and "People to Know".
