How's the day going for everyone? I actually got an hour walk in around the neighborhood, which I haven't done in ages, so that's an improvement.
Hope everyone is accomplishing what they set out to do today.

I had a pretty good day today! Easy at work (leaving me wondering a little what I forgot to do), a nice walk along the river (not as long as past riverwalks, but at least I was out there), and a nice healthy lunch - followed by half of a man-hole-cover-sized choc chip cookie, and preventing it from being an awesomely healthy day. I gave away the other half even before I bit into mine because it looked so moist and chocolately I knew I'd be in trouble if I kept it anywhere near my desk. Although I'm figuring I was still burning calories from the walk, so the net effect of the cookie was negligible. Anyone else buying that?
I'll be meeting DH near a Whole Foods market after work, so I'm going to pop in and see what's on the shelves and in the bins. I hope they have some interesting tomatoes that I can slice up with dinner tonight - a little olive oil, garlic, and chopped basil - delish!

That's great Rhonda.

What an exciting evening I have planned - NOT! Just got back from the new Walmart Supercenter within walking distance from my home. You know you're in an exciting town when the whole town shows up (I felt like telling some of them, "hey, go to your own Walmart!") for the grand opening. The Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders were supposed to be there, but I didn't hear any kind of ruckus or see any heads turning, so they must have made their appearance early. There was a fish tank of bass outside the store which ds would have stared at for who knows how long, so I'm glad I didn't take him. I couldn't believe the huge red hat selection - I guess that society has taken hold of Texas! I must say I like this Walmart better than the Supercenter on the other side of town. A great food selection, although I would have much rather seen a Whole Foods store sitting in that location. You ladies with Whole Foods markets near you are so fortunate! Other exciting activities: my coworker let me borrow her "Ella Enchanted" to watch tonight after ds' Rangers game is over. 3 TV's in the house & he needs to watch the game on the one with dvd player attached. Made 2 batches of No Pudge brownies - ds and his dad will eat a whole pan & my coworker wanted to try some tomorrow.
Eating was so-so today. Workout was good. Tomorrow will be a rest day as yet another meeting. Gee wiz, a 3rd meeting is planned for Friday! I'm meetinged out! I work tomorrow night & maybe Friday night. Saturday, I have off and am getting my hair cut. Can't wait. I may run into Shreveport with a friend for some shopping. There's always cleaning, too. What a choice!
Hope you enjoy the new Walmart. We have two super centers here, one on the northside of town and one on the southside of town. I actually shop at both and have found that the prices are sometimes different and that they don't always carry the same things.

I pulled the Red Hat Society up on the internet, found 7 chapters in Longview, & called a chapter "Queen" that lives close to me. She was very gracious & friendly. They're having a tea in Sept. at 1 p.m. which is my lunch hour, so I will have to make it to that one. I doubt I will get to participate much as they go out of town frequently. They had a national convention in Dallas earlier this year and another convention is planned for Dec. in Orlando. It seems they have all kinds of fun with cruises and trips every year. Next year is Vegas. I'll have to find a pink hat for the tea. I don't have many friends out here & meeting ladies for lunch or tea is such fun! I tried to become a member of the Symphony Guild out here but their meetings are always at noon & I can't make them or the Symphonies as I'm always working on those nights. Also, most of the ladies on that guild are Longview socialites and I just didn't fit in. I'm sure I was the only single mom in the guild.
Wichita Falls has been the Cowboys training camp in the past, correct? I've not been out your way, but I'm sure I will someday.
