Hello there!
Iām back at home after spending the day out and about.
I spent the afternoon working on stuff for the Taste of Ocala, which is happening in exactly one month!
Late this morning, I drove out to a committee meeting that lasted several hours. Committee members updated each other on our individual responsibilities and projects and brainstormed more about the event.
When the meeting let out, I stopped for a quick ham sub from Subway.
I then drove around town and distributed posters and fliers to several of the restaurants that are participating in the Taste of Ocala and chatted with the owners about updates.
I really canāt wait for the big night! I think itās going to be a lot of funā¦ and absolutely delicious.
Since I was driving all over town distributing fliers, I made a few personal pit stops, including one to Platoās Closet, a resale shop that buys used clothing.
They didnāt take much (I had a feeling they wouldnāt since a lot of it was really old), but I did make a few bucks, three of which I immediately spent on a small Blizzard around 3:30 p.m.
Ever since I mentioned the Hawaiian Blizzard on my blog on Tuesday, Iāve been craving a Blizzard like mad. Today I satisfied that craving, only I ordered a midnight truffle Blizzard instead of a Hawaiian because I was in the mood for chocolate rather than fruit.
And now my mind is on dinner! I have some Taste of Ocala-related emails to send out, but then itās time for food.
P.S. The Fashion page was updated today.

Huh. And here I thought the Plato’s closet in Red Deer, Alberta was one of a kind! Quick google search tells me their all over North America. The things we learn everyday…. lol!
And now I want a sub AND a blizzard ;p

Ooh the blizzard looks yummy! I met a friend for lunch today, and there was a frozen-yogurt store right next door … it took every bit of my self-control to refrain! (Only because we’re on a tight budget!)
