Money

I am a bad girl. And my credit card companies really like me. Last night I bought a book about preserving, which I am happily going to give a test drive (test-cook?) tomorrow after I buy more yummy fruit at the farmer's market. Then today I bought 1/2 lb of dried rose hips to make wine out of (not too cheap) and at the herb store I found hair pins I just had to have... and at the cash register I found a fertility rock that wanted to help get me pregnant... Then I walked by this really fantastic store on the plaza that has some amazing jewelry.... found myself going in... found myself falling in love with an insane pair of earings... I am trying with little success to convince myself not to go back and buy them tomorrow. Sometimes I feel like I'm tuning into such a girl. I hope Brandon doesn't read this.

Janine- As far as apple juice goes, don't do it. I tried it, and got sick of it, and wasted a bunch of money. You can find those bottles for free. I get tons of them at the recycling center in Arcata. If you can find any sort of place that recycles glass, they'll be happy to unload on you (or to sell the bottles for something like 5 cents each) or go around on recycling day and peek into people's boxes.
