We have an amazing store close by called Gateway Meat
Market. It (obviously) sells a lot of meat at EXTREMELY good prices and locally
grown, but they also have a fair amount of produce and other goodies. You can’t
get everything you need there, but you can get a lot of fresh food way cheaper
than Sobeys or Superstore! Their prices are unbeatable and they do “flash sales”
in which something is extremely cheap for a day or two until they run out of
supply. I almost always take advantage of the sales to stock up on some
veggies, and this week, the sale was BANANAS 17cents/lb…which, as you know, is
amazing. Bananas here are usually 79-89 cents/lb. I bought a bunch and I’m
going to wait for them to ripen and then peel and freeze them for smoothies
(amazing way to use up bananas!)
Here’s the 24 bananas I got yesterday for $1.50 (major WIN! –
PS: My husband rolls his eyes every time I come home with items like this, haha –
he loves sales but thinks this is too many bananas ;))

I get to see my sweet sister tonight as she is in Halifax
for residency interviews. Molly loooooves her auntie so much and we have been
lucky to see her a few times lately (we usually only see her 1-2 times a year
since she lives in Ontario). The next time I see her after tonight, we will have
a new baby and she will be a doctor!! Hard to believe!!

As I’ve mentioned before, I am keeping a 5-year journal
similar to this one on Amazon but following prompts from this site and writing it myself. Today’s
prompt is “What are you looking for from life?”, which is a bit of a loaded
question (haha), but it has really gotten me thinking about where I’m headed in
the future career-wise (that’s a whole other post) and what things are
important to me. I think reflecting on questions like this every once in awhile
a good way to keep on track goal-wise is and a good way to remind myself that “the
world is my oyster”. J
So far, I love the simplicity of the journal prompts – only a sentence or two
each day but it will be great to look back on!

I’m starting to get really excited for the Olympics! I can’t
wait to see, in particular, how the men’s hockey team does (I am a huge Sidney
Crosby fan but I think all of the players were good choices!) and I also love
the figure skating/ice dance component. It'll be hard to watch it all because of the time difference, but hopefully we can catch a lot of the highlights and some events live on TV. Brian and I met right after the Vancouver Olympics in 2010, so when we were first talking, we were both really into the Olympics as a current event/ice-breaking topic...so I told him I'm so happy we've made it to the next Olympics! Here's to many more! ;)

I love U2 and we had the opportunity to see them live a few years ago in Moncton when I was super-pregnant with Molly (her first concert and it was a good one!!). They are releasing a new song for download during the Superbowl next weekend, but I can't stop listening to this other new one from the Mandela movie soundtrack. So let's #backthatazzup this Friday with the queen of yoga pants :)
