Last Week's Shopping Trip

I entered this contest on Facebook...please vote for me! If you're on Facebook, you can vote. Top three vote-getters win an Ironman entry, and I would LOVE to win. It's all about who is motivating me. For this contest, I said my dad. He did his first Ironman in his 50s. And it wasn't just any Ironman--it was the Ironman World Championships in Kona! I want the chance to follow in his footsteps :-)

Here's the link: Ironman Contest. With 10 more votes I'll be in the top 10. With 30 I'll be in the top 5. I'd have to say my pic is one of my faves, too!



Please vote! Now for the shopping trip...



I am way behind on blogging. And shopping. And blogging about my shopping (my last blog about a grocery store trip was November 22, and that's possibly the last time I was in the grocery store besides to get the staples like milk, oats, and eggs). So here's one of my recent trips (Sunday, January 26, or the day I should have been riding my bike and wasn't).
