This and That

 It's just a few minutes until hubby gets home.

It is "clean out the fridge" night.

I planned some fried rice

using up some broccoli, a half bag of coleslaw mix,

a few pieces of chicken.

It smells good and hopefully will hit the spot with hubby.

I am enjoying the daily shopping trip that challenges me to use up what is in the house.

Tonight, we will have our "house tour" date.

Typically on Thursday or Friday, we take a look at the progress of our home.

It can be exciting or discouraging,

but in either case,

we have a finish date and trust that they will meet it.

Today, I resumed my "wogging" - an interval run of 2 minutes walking and 2 minutes jogging for 6 -8 cycles.

I hadn't really been running because there were far fewer sidewalks than we expected

(though our new development has plenty).

The other day, we walked around the perimeter of the mall next door.

It was nearly a mile.

SOOOOO - 

I thought,

why not "wog" it before the mall opens.

No traffic,

no people,

just flat sidewalks.

And it worked swimmingly.

It also gets my workout done in a timely manner.

Most of the mall opens at 11, but one store opens at 9.

If I beat the 9:00 opening, I also beat a lot of heat as well.

Since it is "Thankful Thursday,"

I will sum up this blog with thanksgiving.

I am thankful for the nearby shopping.

I am thankful for the idea to "wog" around the mall.

I am thankful for the progress on our new home.

I am thankful for hubby - who just walked in the door.
