Lunch time at the OK corral. I wanted to say a few things about yesterday so that, like I stated earlier, I could chronicle my year.

Work was "normal" and after work I went to Wal-Mart after picking up Jenny at work. Prices are just astronomical. We got a few, and I mean few, things and it was 50 dollars. Fifty dollars!!! We went through the "20 items or less" line. No big ticket items. Without telling you the whole list, it included things like a gallon of milk, a bag of chips, small bag of candy, (i know, I know) toilet paper, paper towels, some moth balls for the skunks (it's supposed to work), canned milk (gotta have that gravy), sliced cheese(that's a Jet item). What's this world coming to. Milk is cheaper at the convenience store than at wal-mart and HEB (except they don't have fat free). I must have fat free milk to go with the candy and cookies. We must conserve somewhere.

Anyway, such was the afternoon, it was nearly 7 when we got home and ravaged through the fridge to get what leftovers were there for supper. It was time for the Biggest Loser and I could hardly wait. They all got to go home for a week and this was interesting, but I got to thinking. What do they all do for a living? None of them seem to have a job, except Dan and his Mom who have an after school program thing going on. Okay, they have been at this thing for six or so weeks and nobody seems to be just a little bit worried about the bills not getting paid. And a couple of those houses!!?? Oh, my!!! Beautiful. A couple pretty normal, however, nice. I'm thinking that people who have houses like that and don't need to work, why do they need an extra 250,000???

Then it was "The Office" for a couple of episodes and off to bed. Now you know why you don't get too many "chronicles" of my day. Pretty boring, huh? I'm looking forward to Saturday, we're going to San Angelo to look at a house that Tyler wants to buy for him and Kassie. WooHoo!!

While writing this I am having homemade Taco Soup w/fritos. Not the best weight loss diet, but, no sweets and no cokes, it'll be better than the old days. I'm gonna walk for the rest of my lunch break.

So, guess I'll walk.

It doesn't sound boring to me! And, yes, I've had those same thoughts while watching TBL. They must get some sort of "leave of absence" or doctor's recommendation, or a note from their mommy or SOMETHING to be able to get off work and on the air. Last season, there was a stay-at-home mom and I understood this. But the ones who punch a clock...what do they do????
Good for you for walking! I enjoy reading about your day...keep it up!

Hey Eddie,
I enjoyed reading your blog. You inspire me! You have a blog and I don't. My family has a blog, but Kim does it all. I just read her stuff. Reading yours makes me want to at least add an article every so often to mine.

Love ya,
Mark
