Have you gotten your workout?

I got quite a workout this morning. Whew! I made my dreaded grocery trip. I guess WalMart is feeling the economic crunch now too. The very pleasant check-out lady was being more careful with her bagging.

"We were told not to use so many bags. They don't have lots of money right now," she informed me.

So, she stacked already scanned products beside her until she could squeeze them into an open space in an already packed bag. Cans did not get double bagged today. I hoped they wouldn't crash through the already recycled-too-many-times bags. The bags were so full, I could only tie a few of them. Again I hoped - this time that the groceries wouldn't spill out of their bags all over my trunk.

Thankfully, none of those things happened. Instead, because the bags were doubly-full, they were naturally heavier to carry into the house. So, I got my workout and helped the economy today. Have you?

Yup! I had my Walmart workout on Wednesday. I also had the time crunch to add to it since I had my reading mentoring to do in the morning and then had to be at school at noon. It was quite workout and race against time. LOL!
