Random Bits
It is so gorgeous outside today. I ran some errands right after dinner. I wore my coat when I left, but took it off and left it in the car after I left Walmart. Weather Pulse (the program I use for weather updates) says its 59° outside. But according to the thermometer I have out on my balcony, it’s about 67° out. Whichever one is correct, I don’t care. It’s just frickin’ nice out.
I hate running errands on Saturdays in this town. Everyone else and their dog is out (and I can say that today because I saw someone with a dog in the parking lot of Gordmans when I went there). I get stuck behind someone who doesn’t know how to drive. And Walmart is a mad house. It’s not as bad when I go around 10am, but I was watching Busch Series qualifying this morning (I actually got up at 8am or so … so I WAS up early), so I waited ’til after dinner to go. I’m gonna wait ’til Monday after work to do the rest of my shopping.
Who needs a man? Not me. Okay … maybe there are some things I need one for (and I’ll let you use your imagination on that one … but then again, maybe that’s not a good thing either … LOL), but I don’t need one to change the air filter in my car. I can do that all by myself. 😀 But I had to run all over to get the damn air filter. The first place I went doesn’t carry Fram air filters … they only have the Fram oil filters. I have no idea why. The second place had it though, and that’s where I got it. I came home, parked outside, popped open the hood and went to work. Good thing I’ve got my toolbox in my trunk ‘cuz I needed my screwdriver. Very simple to change in my car. The old one was dirty, but no too terribly bad.
Keeping on the subject of my car … I still have no idea what the hell is up with the window on the driver’s side. It worked perfectly fine today. I rolled it down just a little bit when I was going from place to place. But I decided to stop at the ATM to get some cash, so I needed to roll down the window. I rolled it almost all the way down (didn’t want to push my luck) and then back up with absolutely no problem. No noise, no hesitation, nothing. So I don’t know. I probably won’t take it in anywhere until it acts up again. Hey … if it works, I’ll save my money for something else.
And there’s a bunch of stuff I’d like to get. Of course, I’d like to get a laptop, but I also want to get an elliptical machine or something like that. Nothing too fancy or expensive, but something to work out on. If I had something, then I’d have no excuse. If the weather was crappy, I could still hop on it and work out. I keep saying that I’ll go on walks, but that never lasts. I think Robin said she got her elliptical machine at Walmart for under $200. And they’ve got a 2nd Wind Exercise Equipment store in town that has used machines. It just depends on what I can find and how much it is.
Well, that’s it for now. I need to balance my checkbook and then watch the Busch race. I’ve got it on right now, but I’m not paying that much attention to it. But they are under caution, so nothing is really going on. I gotta figure out what I want for supper too. I was gonna roast up some chicken pieces and make soup, but I don’t know if I’m in the mood. I can always do that tomorrow.
