in preparation

Tomorrow my mother and her parents (my dear, dear grandparents) are coming to visit the apartment. Now, I'm not sure if my mother realizes that I sleep next to the boy every night... when she find out for sure I hope she just decides to comment on the great sheets (I can dream, right?). Oh, and my grandparents are ubers (as in extreme Christians) so who knows what they will say. Fortunately many cousins have gone before me, living with their significant others, so I don't think this will be a huge deal, but one never knows for sure.

But, while the afternoon has the potential to fail miserably, I am very excited as my grandmother is one of those nice, genuine, kinda grandmas that one reads about in fairy tales. So, in preparation I've cleaned the apartment and this afternoon I went to the grocery store, see below...

Here's what I got grocery shopping today...
two small loaves of French bread (for bread, tomatoes, basil, mozzarella)
tomatoes
mozzarella
Simply Limeade (x2 thanks to a sale)
organic eggs (have I told you the boy makes great eggs?)
half and half (for his coffee)
flour (for pie crust)
rhubarb (for the strawberry/rhubarb pie inside that I made this evening)
Mr. Clean Magic Eraser with Extra Power (tried for the first time today and it actually is MAGIC, worked on my gross kitchen flours that I had previously been cleaning with a bleach/vinegar/water with a copper scrub to no avail)
cat food (for the cats)
Mrs. Meyers Honey Suckle cleaning kit (gotta love Mrs. Meyers)
raspberries (for a raspberry, mozzarella, walnut, sprout and lettuce salad)
sprouts

Oh, and not only was the trip grocery successful, I saved 15 dollars with my card (holla) and I remembered to bring in my reusable bags from the car (double holla)!

So I've done all that I can do... the success of tomorrow? Only time will tell.
