The first picture is today's highlight. I took a quick spin to Target and Trader Joe's on my Schwinn Le Tour II. I didn't realize how close the trip was because I literally got there in less than 10 minutes! So I did my grocery shopping and all and bought myself boxes of granola bars, peanut butter, celery, etc! I even picked up a small jar of nutella-my love..... hazelnut flavored.. When hazelnuts are involved in something or anything, instead of the cha-ching ba-bling dollar signs you see in Mr. Krab's eyes on Spongebob, you can see happy rainbow hearts in my eyes.
The thing about grocery shopping in the city of Long Beach is that if you want the stores to provide you with grocery paper bags, you have to pay for them. So since it's all about promoting going green here, everyone brings their own reusable bags. I carried my rainbow umbrella tote bag today; so I used that. But then I somehow (unknowingly or unexpectedly) grabbed a bag of mixed nuts here and a box of grain crackers there, and ended up cradling an armful of tempting-delicious-snacks-that-I-just-wanted-to-rip-open-and-eat-right-then-and-there in my no longer open arms.
Soon I just had to pay for a paper bag because I left my new favorite Long Beach tote bag at home. Ah, the excitement of food... So you know, on the bike ride back, my bag rips, and because I don't have a cruiser and a bike basket like every other SoCal person here does, I ended up balancing the ripped paper bag (still with boxes of food inside) in between the distance of my wrists and the handle bars and leaned forward to support the hold all the way back. Maybe someone heard my prayers because I was hoping that I wouldn't have to brake or stop, and what do you know, it was just my luck today. I got my food and.. I got my food back in the my dorm room safely.
Omg I love the tote!!! O___O :D yum, peanut butter.
