Wegmans Happy Dance & Random Tid Bits

• I was at Wegmans last night. I LOVE Wegmans.
It is truly the best grocery store ever. Yes, a love affair with Wegmans a grocery store.
If one comes to your city - do not pass go - RUN there. I have always loved the store but since having to be gluten free it just makes my world so much easier. The company Udi's is the best thing ever. I could kiss these bakers. Their artisan style bread is so awesome. You can have a sandwich without having to toast the bread it's that damn good! The bagels are out of this world good!!! Their pizza shells, their cinnamon rolls. But most of all Wegmans carries all things that I can buy to make my own baked goods like different flours and pasta's and organic gluten free food galore.  Basically it just gives me choices and options which I have not had in a very long time. I did a happy dance down these 2 aisles! Seriously I found myself smiling and thinking people must think I am nuts. This fabulous store even carries gluten free Betty Crocker food items like Bisquick, GF Progresso soups along with cake and brownie mixes. Now I don't need those last few items in my life or for that matter I don’t need the bread or bagels either but it's nice to know they have them. So when everyone else is having Pumpkin pies and other pumpkin sweets that I can't have this Thanksgiving I will make my own goodies. I have a feeling these will be so good others will want some too even though they don't have to. Can you “feel” me smiling as I type this?


• I love TV but there aren't as many shows lately that are must see TV.
I really like The Big C. Terrific show and great acting. Laura Linney and Oliver Platt do effortless looking work. It's poignant, sad, funny and like life a bit messy. If you can get season 1 I would recommend it highly. But the season just ended this week and I'm sad.
I am also in the middle of In Treatment and as usual can't get enough of it.
I used to watch morning TV while running around the kitchen in the morning getting ready for our day. But GMA hired Elizabeth Hasselbeck. She is from Survivor and a twit. Diane Sawyer left. George Stephanopolous isn't tall enough to ride the roller coaster and I find it distracting when he stands next to Robin. He comes up to her nipples for heaven's sake. He's cute as a button and smart as a whip but I just find it distracting to watch them and they always put them side by side. I suggest they sit down but apparently that is not what they do on morning TV anymore. (on Today they not only stand but stand outside - why?) The new GMA program is less news and information these days and more Lindsay Lohen so I no longer watch GMA either.

• In June 2009 I got a 4 month old puppy. What I learned from this is that I have a gene that is mutated. I am a freak. I talk to my dog. Someone actually met Rick last night while he was walking Izzy. She said, “Oh I see your wife walking your dog during the day. She talks to him all the time.” And she chuckles. Oh good Lord now they think I am certifiable. So today when walking I was very conscious of talking to Izzy. Gee, I do it a lot more than I thought. I didn’t say anything after I realized I was talking. But just before we got to our home (about 45 minutes into this quiet walk) Izzy stopped and turned around and walked toward me and just sat, looking up at me. I think she thought I might not be on the other end of that leash because it was so quiet. That was funny to me.

• My husband sees dead people. Well we both have. He and I lived in a haunted house together once. Did I tell you those stories? Hmmmm……should I?
But today he was restoring a big old farm sink for a family who were renovating this old farm house that was built over 100 years ago. The woman told me they were restoring to it’s original splendor right on down to the oil lights in the kitchen. I asked, “you are doing indoor plumbing though aren’t you?” She laughed and said they were indeed having indoor plumbing. I realized listening to her be so excited over her 1800’s stain glass that I am a 21st century gal. I would prefer my recessed lights in the kitchen over oil lamps. Anyway, Rick got to her home today and he felt someone behind him. When he turned around he saw a woman at the bottom of the staircase and then poof she was gone. It only rattled him for a minute as it would to someone, but he’s been there before so as he walked into the kitchen he asked the woman, “Do you have ghosts?”

Oh my God did you see something?

Yes, I did.

Don’t tell me let me ask you…male or female?

Female.

Where?

At the foot of the staircase

How old?

Probably 60’s.

Can you describe her or her clothes?

Rick described her clothes and what he saw.

OH MY GOD. That is exactly what my husband has seen. Shit! Why can’t I see her?

So when Rick had to go back out to his truck some time later he called to tell me this. I am not surprised it’s just been awhile. Wild isn’t it?

Wish he’d see me picking up a big ole lottery ticket winnings!
Oh wait but that would make him psychic....whole other thing isn't it?  Damn!
