Bring it!

Here's my question - how in the WORLD is the snow going to stick when they keep putting ALL THIS SALT on the roads??? I was so disappointed when I left work today and saw salt on pretty much every road between work and home. I even crossed paths with one salt truck this morning. BOO! I mean, all the schools will close, why shouldn't work??? Adults NEED a snow day, too! Not that we will actually get any snow, and even if we did it won't stick! But a Southern girl can dream.

One thing I won't have to worry about is the mad grocery rush. My sweetie drove me 15 miles to a north Nashville 'burb to shop at Publix last weekend. I was in **heaven**. Man, I miss my Publix. I have no desire to live in Goodlettsville but I do have a desire to return to their Publix. We saw a FoodTV show on making fish tacos and we had a strange list of ingredients we needed, on top of our regular list of strange ingredients. I found several of them and the only thing we needed was tempura batter. We checked around the sushi section and asked an employee. He didn't know, but he grabbed another employee - eventually several employees HUDDLED and together they found the tempura batter. Literally the most amazing thing I've ever seen at a grocery store. The checkout person and everyone else in between was SO nice. We were on cloud nine when we left with EVERYTHING on our long list. I love living in East Nashville/downtown but our grocery stores are crap. Neither of the Krogers near us has ANY lamb and their "seafood" is pathetic. If you want catfish nuggets or chitlins you're in luck. And if you literally want your produce dropped on the ground and then stuck in a sack you're in luck there too. We asked them if they had fresh mint a few weeks ago and an associate had to ask Brent what that was. We stocked way up on our groceries and we'll just drive to the northern 'burbs every few weeks to Publix. I was so in love with our experience that I even took the time to leave an email on the corporate site and let them know how happy we were, and tonight the local manager called me and said my letter had been forwarded on to him and he just wanted to thank me for the kudos. I'm always pretty quick to jump on the complaint bandwagon, but hopefully I can spend more time complimenting good companies this year.

I got my final run of the month in tonight and I should end up with somewhere between 70-80 miles. Not great, but more than double what I had last month. Have a great night and keep your fingers crossed for SNOW!
