i walk at the senior citizen's center

yes, that's right, this morning i got my walk on at the senior citizen's center in town. it definitely rocked, and i definitely burned some calories with my mad walking skills. however, i never could catch up w/ grandma and laura (note: both 80 year-old women). geesh.

after that, grandma and i had breakfast at patricia's, the newly located grocery store/deli/place. we share an omelette that was heavy-laden with butter and cheese and wheat toast (yum). ok so the omelette wasn't heavy-laden with the wheat toast-- that came on the side. in case you were confused. that's ok. i get confused sometimes, too. so anyway. during breakfast, grandma and i sat with a lady and talked w/ her and we ended up talking about kim jones' experience during her semester in madrid and how amanda grubb is currently studying abroad in india-- wow!!! she's studying women's rights/justice and planning to go to law school. that's just awesome. so... that was a great conversation (yes, that was convincing, i know, but just trust me on that one).

i finally got to see kiel yesterday!!!!! and lauren. and the whole hallerud family, including prince (no, not the artist prince, but the dog prince). i also got to see paula and the gang at 2nd pres (had lunch w/ them and then visited w/ paula for quite some time) and then headed over to westport (i'm becoming quite the westport fanatic!!! gotta love those quaint little shops and artsy fartsy places!!!) and spendttwo hours in jane's store (central american textile company-- GREAT place!), talking w/ her... ended up buying a scarf (from guatemala-- all of her goods are brought straight from guatemala on the trips that she makes there twice a year) which i hope to eventually buy more of over time. i've gone into her store so many times w/o buying anything, each time saying "someday i will be able to." figured i may as well start. goodness, w/ the time i've spent in there, eventually i should buy out her store or something... and i wouldnt mind that, if i had the money; her items are so, so, so beautiful and richly designed... oh, latin america...

on the agenda for today: lunch on the plaza (isn't that just fancy schmancy), seeing "little women" at the repertory theatre, and then... i'm not sure.

have a super great day. :)
