Local Hot Spot

Tonight I felt the need to get some alone time. I beeline for my happy place. A place where music is free flowing, music so good that I imagine strobe lights and fog machines . I want to throw down my piece of cardboard and try out my best break dancing moves or the moonwalk and honestly if I really did that, I don't think anyone would care. No one ever says anything when I sing aloud in the aisles.
When I arrive at Sac. Natural Foods Co-op (yes that's what I said..the co-op) I get a decaf coffee and peruse the aisles and take my sweet ass time touching, smelling, reading, testing anything I please. No child is asking me endless "why" questions, or wanting a boob or wanting money or a treat or wanting to go home, want, want, want! OMG... I WANT to stab my ears out! Ok...sorry tangent.
It's so peaceful there, I don't if it's the pachouli oil, or all the samples of the soaps, oils, lotions I smell /use while I am there but I am absolutely obsessed with that place. They have everything you can ever want...gourmet, vegan, raw, bulk, Asian, Mexican, Indian and all in between. My great buys tonight are are all from the bulk section, that's where I spend the majority of my time.

Canellini beans (to make this delicious white bean guacamole dip I had today at a friends house)
Rolled Oats ( to make my raw cookies requested by my hubby to take into work)
Organic sugar
Organic Cocoa Powder - needs no excuse!
Organic Curry powder
Caraway Seeds ( I love Caraway seeds, I will find some use for them!)

And I heard a voice in my head " Mommy, bunnies cereal. I want bunnies cereal please, may I." Annies Cinnebunnies, picked up a box of those too. She's going to be so excited.

I come home, unload my treasures. Smell the Curry and the Caraway. Taste the Cocoa Powder. Show my husband...who amuses me by "appreciating" them too. Pack them away neatly. Grab my copy of The Co-Op Reporter and a piece of the couch.

I AM CENTERED.
