Exceedingly Mundane

I got out and about today in my new car – went to the bank, video store and grocery shopping. I have another “happy a day” to add to my list – my local Walmart is now back to carrying the kind of soda Tim likes to drink (Cherry Coke) and the kind of chips I like to buy (Sun Chips). The last two or three times I was there, they didn’t have either and I was rather bummed. I’m happy to report they had them both today!

What I wasn’t happy about was the other things on my list that they were out of, including raisins in a resealable bag (just boxes and a huge canister), whole wheat angel hair pasta and my very favorite Morningstar Corn Dogs. I like to have these sometimes on Fridays, as a splurge, and I have eaten all the ones out of my freezer. Darn, I was looking forward to those! 🙂 I think they still carry them, but were just out.

It was sprinkling when I came out of Walmart, so the new red Explorer got some water dribbled on it. Of course, when I got to my house, it was dry, but we did get a brief (5 minute) shower during lunch, so I won’t complain a bit. The good news here is that I now know where the windshield wipers are on the new car. 😀

I hope Tim won’t be too late tonight. He has to work tonight starting at 11 PM, and I hope he gets home early and can rest and relax before it’s time to crank up his laptop and jump back into things. I hope to get some reading done tonight, as well. My deadline of returning library books is fast approaching (Friday) and I’m only about 1/2 way through my current book (“Big Stone Gap” by Adriana Trigiani). The other two I checked out were audio books. I ripped one to my PC and transferred to my iPod, but I don’t like the narrator’s voice (it grates on my nerves!), so I’m not sure that I’ll listen to it. Maybe I’ll check the hardback book out instead!
