it's not really stalking, just checking out the situation!

today i saw the post of a friend of a friend on fb (an acquaintance to me). it said, whistle while you work. what a great notion and cute mental picture when you're thinking 7 dwarves. but it's not as cute when i remember first moving to costa rica and being mortified when i'd walk through a neighborhood where there were construction workers and cat-calls.

i had to go to the local walmart neighborhood market (i think that's what they call their grocery stores). i found everything i needed except pita bread (but they had every type of tortilla you can imagine). probably my favorite find that wasn't on my list was the...marketside chicken tortilla soup, broccoli cheddar soup and salsa.

.and the coffeemate white chocolate caramel latte.
yum-my
then i got to the cashier and the lady in front of me with her son (she called him tonto- which in spanish is kinda' like 'dummy', not the lone ranger's indian buddy), her bill came up to around $192. well, she handed the lady a card some card that took her cost down to 12.82 and then she gave the lady another card and her ending total was 2.12. hmm..must be rough to have almost all of your food paid for. so i watched her go to her car and it was a van. you know, the kind with the doors that automatically slide open...and i may or may not have followed her to see where they lived b/c it kinda pissed me off.
i'm not a stalker..i was just curious!
and i lost them, but the area they turned into was just south of walnut hill and west of midway... (it wasn't angela).
but it was in a cute little neighborhood, and that made it all the more frustrating! who am i to judge, i know, but i'm just trying to figure out where all this money is coming from if our country is in such dire straits financially.

on another note, i am excited to portion out the soups and also to get the pork loin into the crock pot-brown sugar/dijon rub, all night and we'll have pulled pork tomorrow! love, love, love! i will probably work on that in a few minutes and get what i can done before the game and save the rest for half-time.

by the way, the last couple of days i have seen a wasp again hangin out on my balcony and buzzing up against the door. so i have to search before i open the door to let the dogs out-if he's out there, i don't let them out. what a buzzkill! 

live with integrity and don't be a swindler!
