I "heart" Anthropologie
When I do travel to Metropolitan areas I look forward to shop at stores that I can only visit through the internet here in Lafayette, LA. When I did work in the hotel industry I often wondered why guests would flock to the mall. Now I understand. While I was in Chicago I shopped at the 9th largest mall in the US. Anthropologie is my absolute favorite store. I always get this warm-fuzzy feeling just being in the store. If I ever decide to make a career change to retail, I would definately work there. Today I received their Stitch catalog and just looking through it made me feel cozy! They feature a few sweaters from Twinkle Big City Knits by Wenlan Chia. I purchased this book and now I'm really excited to knit a sweater.

...and the crazy-busy season begins...
I'm leaving today for Atlanta, GA for an educational seminar. Too bad it's not peach season, I would've loved enjoying this.

"Buy me some Peanuts and Cracker Jack..."
Speaking of peanuts, look at what I spotted the other day... Reese's Elvis Cups!
I'm a big fan of Elvis and was excited when I saw this! This “limited edition” candy is being made in honor of the 30th Anniversary of The King’s passing, which is August 16th. I need to get my hands on the King Size version get it…”The King”! The packaging for this features Hawaiian Elvis, sporting sideburns and a purple lei at the 1973 concert taped at the Convention Center in Honolulu, Hawaii. This was the first program to ever be beamed around the world by satellite. Oh and they are also including an instant win contest for a trip for two to Graceland…in that case I need to buy a truck load of Elvis Cups!

Crazy for Blueberries...
My knitting friend A and I celebrated our birthdays this past Saturday with our other knitting pals and had a Blueberry Martini which I may mention was quite tasty.
Nothing like biting into a blueberry muffin made with fresh blueberries. I love the sweet-tart flavor. Looks like I'll be baking a lot of Blueberry Mochi unless I use them all up for Blueberry Martini's!

- Corn
- Crowder Peas
- Cucumbers
- Green Beans
- Green/Red/Yellow Bell Peppers (Orange are ready to be picked!)
- Purple Hull Peas
- Tomatoes (Cherry/Creole/Grape/Hybrid 444/Roma)
Since we've been getting a lot of rain (29.78 inches since January 1, 2007) some of our Veggies have "boo-boo's" on them but are still tasty.
According to the San Francisco-based WeatherBill Inc., a study published in May of rainy cities had Lafayette, Louisiana ranked at fifth, with 62 inches as the average annual rainfall and having 55 average annual rainy days.
