On grocery shopping and snowstorms 
We just got back from a run to TJ's to pick up some vegan junk food. It would be really good to be eating homecooked food right now, but I spent a chunk of the weekend hanging with my college best friend and her boyfriend, and so soup was not made. But we did get a bunch of different things, some fruit, some brown rice, and some whole grain bread at the store, and we should be okay for the week at least.
There is something just delightful about buying food that's good for you. It's so damn virtuous. Of course, it would be more virtuous if I had a pot of bean soup on the stove right now, but one battle at a time.
I ordered two new pedometers for myself and my sweetie -- those arrived today. Tomorrow, our giant copy of Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything Vegetarian: Simple Meatless Recipes for Great Food (2000 recipes!) and Dr. Neal Barnard's Program for Reversing Diabetes: The Scientifically Proven System for Reversing Diabetes Without Drugs. Our ducks are getting ready to line up.
Yesterday I went out with K & R to the Oregon Coast. It was a typical winter day, ie, grey, rainy, icky. We got all soaked through, and then drove to Seaside and did it again. By the time we hit the road to come back to town, the rain had turned to snow, and the mountains passes became icky, and then, near Elsie, all traffic ground to a complete and total stop. And stayed at a stop for well over an hour.
The snow was gorgeous, outlining the tiny limbs on the giant trees, but boy it was making a mess of the roads.
We made it back to town without incident, but not without noticing that all of the vehicles that had spun out and spun off the road were 4 by 4s.
