DIARY FOR MONDAY, APRIL 20, 2009

8:00am    Wake up, shower, check the news and weather.  Eat part of fresh fruit cup I got at Whole Foods last night.  Good thing they make them there fresh everyday!

8:20am    Hoping for a tweet from WFM_Symphony.

9:00am    Head out the door

9:15am    Meet friends at Whole Foods- Symphony for breakfast.  They have French Toast with Maple Syrup and Bacon and Broccoli Quiche and those great Breakfast Burritos…  and Iggy’s Bagels.  Did you know they hide the little cream cheeses and butter pats by the cream pies?  Almost forgot coffee!  Allegro Breakfast Blend the other day; today????

9:30am    Eat breakfast oustide just staring at the “Husky Card” sign.  I’m glad they got the chairs and tables back out here.  I was tired of sitting on the concrete by the windows.

3 for $10.00

9:45am    Run back inside the store for Newman-O’s on I saw on sale, apples, and water for later.  Other guys are still trying to fiugre out which muffins to get- Glorious Morning or Corn or Apple Streusel.

10:30am  Arrive on Boylston and wait for the runners.  Getting hungry again.

10:45am  Open the Newman-O’s and pass ‘em around.  Drink water.  Eat an apple.  Hand out the rest.

10:55am  Wondering why no WFM_Symphony tweets.  They must not be on Twitter today because of the holiday.

11:00am  Out of food.  Back to WFM.  Pizza’s ready.  Should I get that?  What soups are good?  No soup tweet today.  OK, pizza it is!  Love the “by the pound” price.  I always ask the guy for three dollars’ worth :-).  And a 365 Cola.  Should I have gotten lunch for everyone else?

12:00pm  At the register.  Gumdrops look excellent.  Grapefruit flavor?  Meyer lemon?  Acai?  Pomegranate?  OK, grab a container.  Pizza for me; gumdrops for the rest.

12:30pm So many people out here.  Crowds everywhere.  Got to get back to Boylston to see who wins.

1:00pm  Almost there.

2:00pm  Made it.  I missed the winner?  Where is everyone?  I’ve got pomegranate gumdrops.  Mmmm… worth tweeting about!

2:30pm  Back at Whole Foods in search of what to make for dinner.  Guess I have time to cook.  Deli looks really tempting.  What are all these yellow signs!??!?!?  Madness?  What the-?  Steak tips $4.99?  Beef.  It’s what’s for dinner.  I’ve heard that somewhere before.

2:40pm  In produce now.  Got my steak tips and a bunch of asparagus and some Olivia’s Organic crunchy salad mix and heading for Bakery.

2:45pm  Focaccia!  2 for $5.  I only need one.  That’s just $2.50.  I’m a mathematical genius.

3:00pm  On my way home with a bag full of dinner.  Can’t wait to tweet about this.

You know by now that this might have been written by someone before it actually happened or maybe it didn’t really happen but we think it most likely did happen or may happen to someone.  Anyway, you, too can follow our store on Twitter.com.  We’re WFM_Symphony.
