Tuesday night mom and I got to eat for free at Ruth's Chris Steak House. I don't even want to know how much it would have cost. Thank goodness for baby formula reps with money to burn!

Mamma Mia!
Almost a year ago mom got tickets to see the stage production of Mamma Mia and last night finally came. It was a lot better then I thought it would be. When we were in London back in 2002 I wanted to see it, but we ran out of time (The Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserable, and the Lion King were our nightly show priorities). Then the movie version came out and the previews alone left a bad taste in my mouth, but to my relief the stage production was very entertaining...slightly scandalous...but entertaining.
Weekend Beach Report
It's been a while since I have had anything decent to report from a weekend beach trip, but the time has come and if I have to suffer so do you.
1. At least four men were spotted in speedos, all old. One liberally cleaning himself in the outdoor showers... nice.
2. Three very over weight women were spotted in string bikinis. Fortunately they had shorts on, but one of the girl's tops was about 5 sizes to small. Hello! This is a family show!
3. On a good note, mom and I were swimming when a turtle surfaced not more than 15 feet away from us. We could tell from the size of it's head that it was a big one. So cool!

You wanna be a what?!
Today for work I took a group of people for a tour of a Whole Foods Market. I loved everything about the place; the locally grown produce, Hawaiian caught seafood, the homemade Gelato, and of course all the “granolas.”
Back when I lived in Boise I decided one day that I wanted to be a granola. I got a grip when I realized that such a lifestyle would cost a pretty penny. And a penny I did not have, let alone a pretty one. But I could not help it. All these feelings of save the earth, save the polar bears, save a tree lead to me spending over $9 on two small homemade bars of soap. What? Sure, I like being green…but I would rather save the green, my green. Now if you’ll excuse me I’d like to finish my organic vanilla nonfat yogurt and locally grown strawberries.
P.S. I still have ambitions to become a bonafide “granola” but of the low budget variety. Stay tuned!
