Exceedingly Mundane

Today went according to plan, love it when that happens! Got all the errands run, and I’m happy to report that I had no problems whatsoever getting gas. YEAH! I drove right up to the pump, and although I was limited to $40, I was able to get gas without a line. What a nice thing that I always took for granted before! We both have full tanks now, so barring any unforeseen road trips, that ought to hold us a couple of weeks. The price wasn’t bad either. I drove by 2 gas stations (one I’m not sure had gas) that were 2.59 and found a Shell that was 2.53 sandwiched in between them. So, needless to say, I got the 2.53! What was odd was that this station wasn’t selling the middle or premium grade, they had those pump handles covered with plastic bags. They only had the low grade, which is what I wanted anyway. I guess that gas station owner was smart and decided that more of the low grade in the tanks in the ground was a good thing – since most people are buying the cheapest grade these days anyway.

I went to Target and Walmart, and also dropped off books at the library and checked out new ones. I have updated the sidebar to reflect the new books I’m going to read. One is by Karen Kingsbury, a Christian author that Gail recommended. Another is by Debbie Macomber, who wrote another book I just finished reading and enjoyed. The other is a chance book. I haven’t heard a thing about this author or these books, either in someone’s blog or website or from anyone I know. I was browsing the bookshelves at the library and ran across several books in the “Miss Julia” series. I love reading series books, if I like the characters or settings, I like reading more than one. So I thought I would give one of them a try. On the front of this one it says “Absolutely Loved this Book! What a Joy to Read!” – by Fannie Flagg. So it’s probably a good old-fashioned southern kind of read, like “Fried Green Tomatoes” or whatnot. I’ll report back later on whether or not it was any good! 😀
