weekend summary:
- ate yummy chinese food

- sat not five feet from fred herzog
- ate not-from-a-package ramen
- visited jen at work (twice!)
it was a good weekend, just not enough time to get stuff accomplished, which always bugs me. it's the work/home/life balance i struggle with these days. i want to have time to relax, but i can't relax when my house is a mess or i haven't done the laundry. and how can i play zelda, watch a dvd with christopher and go hang out with friends at the same time? oh, and sleep. can't forget the sleeping.
the next few weeks are chock-full of social obligations. i've had to decline almost as many as i've agreed to! it's going to be a very spendy february, it seems.
if i can get an extra key from my building manager, i'm going to sign up for spud.ca. i think that having groceries delivered will be a huge load off my mind and time. they have a 'harvest box' of produce which, for $40 every other week, looks like it will have far more food in it that i could manage to eat. they also sell meat, bread and dairy products. conceivably, if it all works out, i could only ever have to shop for beer and junk food (which i'm trying to avoid by having more healthful, organic food delivered). i'll keep you posted on how it all turns out.
Hey, you could go to ezgrocer.ca as well? Just about everyone I know uses them (happily, including me) and I can get you $10 off your first order as well.
Let me know! Glad to hear you had a great weekend. I know what you mean about time -- My answer is getting a maid in... She's only $15 an hour, and extremely thorough. Affords me the time I need to get other work done and time to myself, too.
oh ps: ezgrocer.ca delivers booze, too!!
I've used spud off and on the last few years. Its definitely convenient, and does encourage me to eat more fruits and veggies, but it is VERY expensive and you can get fruits and veg, even organic ones, for cheaper at the grocery store.
It costs a lot for what you get. Just my 2 cents! I cancelled because it just didn't make sense anymore.
I just re-started with spud... it's taaasty! And I find the produce etc. to be much nicer quality than when I had them in Burnaby a couple years ago.
And if you do decide to go with spud, I have a code that gets you $25 off your first two or three orders.
