I seem to be full of lots of good intentions lately. Like ditching my old blog and starting this one so I can say whatever I want without needing to censor. And then I didn't post anything for a few weeks and here I am.
This summer I had all intentions to spend my Saturdays at the farmers market, buying local as much as possible. I figured 'hey, I'm finished with school now, I have time again, I can do this!" I cancelled my home delivery of semi local produce that I had been receiving for almost two years because the variety was sub-par and as I said - 'semi local'. They could never tell me exactly where it was coming from and I'm pretty sure that bananas don't grow in Michigan. But here I am, in the middle of July and I've been to the farmers market once. Granted I picked up a second job that has me working every other weekend so my actual Saturday availability was cut in half, but apparently on those days that I do have open I'm either not in town, or sleeping off the night before. Don't judge me, I work 50+ hours a week at one job and an additional 16 hours on the weekends every other week, girl needs to let loose every once in awhile.
I could say 'here's to making a change, I vow that THIS weekend I WILL make it to the farmers market!' But I don't really see that happening.
So I think its best to just not make any intentions. Good or bad. Although bad intentions can sometimes result in fun activities.
I can totally understand this - working so hard makes it so hard to shop the way you want to shop. But I hope you do get to go!
