I kept telling myself, and everyone around me, that I needed to blog about my life. it’s a semi-hectic whirlwind involving far too many people and I often lose track of what I did. when someone asks you what you did on the weekend and your response is “uhhh…” something needs to change! today I make an effort to change.
things that went on this weekend:
friday I had a google calendar list of “to-do” that mostly got done. look over algebra with ginger, vacuum ruckas’ room, clean the shower… I didn’t find my headphones and still haven’t planned my lunches but meh. I made good on some things.
saturday I needed to get my oil changed on my new car, seraphina (oh, yeah, I have a new car. more on that later). they say you don’t HAVE to do an early oil change on new cars now, but better safe than sorry. at just shy of 1,400 I thought it was prudent, so at 10:30am I got to the owings mills dealership for my free oil change. and tire pressure check. and car wash. the service desk guy, bruce, was super engaging and fun to chat with. he complimented me on my attitude, which I ate up lol, and he also found an owner’s manual for my car (I’d been without one and the sales guy was going to mail me one but I was impatient)! what I really loved was registering my email address gave me updates of when they started working on my car and when it was done. and the free car wash. love free car washes lol. met up with zanzibar and took her around in my car for the rest of the day. had a lovely lunch at jcafe; got a side salad instead of kettle chips which was a great choice. the salad was legit: fresh tomatoes, yellow and red peppers (I skipped the onions) on a bed of mixed greens. skipped getting dessert – trying to watch those sugars… then we went to the mall because I needed jeans, but also found a super-cute shirt at sears for $18 (orig $40). also found an awesome shirt at new york and company, but they only had one of the two colors in my size, and with their BOGO1/2 off sale I didn’t just want to get one. looked online… still debating on whether or not I should shell out $75 for two shirts when I now have a car payment :| stopped by mr tire to see nick, then zanzibar and I parted ways and I stopped by the original dealership where I was going to get a car. see, I went to a toyota dealership first, but ended up getting a kia at another location. however, the original sales guy got credit for the sale since the locations are connected. BUT he and his sales people gave me such a hard time about buying a kia that I felt unwelcome :( I guess it really doesn’t matter anymore since I don’t ever have to go back there, but I thought chris and I could be friends. meh. oh, then I went BACK to mr tire to hang out with nick again lol… closed the shop with the crew and went home. bigwerm and his non-gf came home that night with non-gf’s dog (who was sequestered to the basement because the cat freaked out). and when they tried to go to bed with the dog in the basement, he would NOT SHUT UP. suuuuper glad I don’t own any pets. ugh.
sunday I watched movies and ate food all day with ruckus. first inception, then ace ventura, aliens, and wrapped up the evening with your highness. pizza from pizza hut, and pancakes. omg. never again.
