Summer living

Since I moved to this area that is at the "heart" of Atlanta, I haven't really done any browsing. and it's sad that I am choosing to do it now, 10 months into living in the city and my lease is almost up and I am not sure if I can still afford to live in the city, so at the last minute, I am deciding, maybe I should get to know the joints around me, maybe I might stick around a while longer, who knows.

So I went to Roswell road, the Sandy Springs end, for the first time yesterday. Went to Trader Joes, (my first Trader Joes was in Norcross not knowing there's an even closer one to me) I love so many things about that place - wine, orange juice, salad mix, much cheaper than Wal mart, but don't tell them that. Then, I went to Whole Foods for the very first time in my life. I have always seen these celebrity pictures of stars shopping for groceries and it always has to be at a whole foods, and I've wondered, "Okay, isn't there a Wal Mart by where they live." But then, now I know why. It's overpriced, and it's only for the people who LOVE to eat and feel like they are eating healthy. They don't have anything that you can find in the conventional grocery store. But they have some good stuff. I got their chicken salad, and the "naked" rotisserie chicken (which I am yet to try). But from the taste of the salad and the Indian cuisine they had, I just may be back, when I am feeling a little richer in the pockets. I had to keep it simple first time around. But it is a good store. I totally understand the fascination.

So that was my weekend sojourn. I couldn't believe all these great finds were about 5 miles from my current location, and all week, and some weekends, I just sit at home, cuddling the remote and doing nothing. Then, I went to Eclipse de Luna on Friday, good music, bad service. Female bartenders and me just do not mix. Like they don't understand that us strong women can drink alone. But I won't bore you with the details.

Gosh, it's 8 o'clock and it's still bright as day outside. Summer is awesome. Awesome.
