this little life of mine

Greetings and welcome to this little life of mine! Generally people use the first day of Holidailies to introduce themselves to other Holidailies participants, but I really don't know what to say about myself that would be at all interesting, so instead I'll just blather on about my day.

Being Saturday, it was grocery shopping day. Typically my mom and I would get up and head off to Bru Coffeehouse for two of the best lattes in town and the best toasted bagel we've ever had, then go to Big Lots and the "Other Little Store" (actually called Grocery Outlet Bargain Market, which is a magically place that saves us TONS of money every trip). Also typically as the the first Saturday of the month, we would first have stopped by the Flea Market in the hopes of finding something fabulous, like paperbacks for .25, before going to Bru. The rain, however, drowned out the Flea Market today so, we decided to just have breakfast at Starbucks, then hit the "Little Store" (our name for the Atascadero Discount Grocery store, the original discount grocery store in town) for some great deals on slightly dented boxed foods like Hamburger Helpers and Rice-a-Ronis, and cheap cleaning products before heading to Vons.

After surviving Vons (and managing to get out under $100. due to meticulously sticking to our shopping list and using coupons), we headed home. I went out to the back yard to get some shots of wet rocks and leaves, but had to run inside because it started raining. Again. I ended up with some good shots, though, including this pretty shiny wet rock and some waterdrops on some white flowers that were supposed to be annuals, but have been coming back again and again for the past five or so years. Enjoy and Happy Holidailies!

Cheers!
