the raspberries made me spend more money...

today was a beautiful day! i went for a walk around the neighborhood for lunch. as i was going, there was a girl riding on the hood of a car down the road--how foolish. when i lived in kc, one of our klife kids was doing something similar and fell off the hood and under the car. she had to get skin grafts and all sorts of rehab. the driver felt guilty and the gal had nightmares about it for years after. boo.

on the way home, i knew i needed raspberries, so i stopped in at the tom thumb around the corner...they had a special, so i got two...and blueberries..and brussel sprouts...and spices and flax seed. i hate shopping for that very reason. what should've been 3 bucks turned into 30.

oh, and it occurred to me the other day that i haven't eaten out since i started on this biggest loser-thing except for my turkey sandwich this weekend from ruthie's rolling cafe..so i haven't technically been to a restaurant. that spell will certainly be broken when i head up to oklahoma at the beginning of spring break.

when the boys and i went out, we stopped at the office, and there were no residents, so we stopped in to play and got the story about one of my manager's neighbors. an elderly hispanic lady was coming up tho their house and peeking in the window and the kids told mom about it, but she didn't really believe it. the lady would come into the garage, and one day, she finally saw the lady trying to look into the cab of her husband's truck and when she went over, the lady began speaking to her in spanish. well, my friend just looked at her with a raised eyebrow, not knowing what she was saying or what was going on. she later found out that the lady was in the beginning stages of dementia and alzheimer's, and the truck was similar to her other son in ca. sad, but slightly humorous. hopefully the neighbor will keep closer watch on grandma.

there were too many big dogs at our dog park, so we passed it by. but we did see more signs of spring!
hey, bud!
 oh. i just ordered a grinder for my flax seeds and coffee beans. woo hoo! should be here in a couple of days-show. it to you when it arrives!
don't go staring into other' windows if you don't want them to think that you have dementia.
