So, I had my day off yesterday and only half of it was relaxing. I had to take my car into the repair shop for a quick $280.00 fix. My car had been acting up by routinely quitting in the middle of trying to start, so that I had to turn the key off and try again. Now, I'm no mechanic, but my gut instincts were telling me that one of these days I'd go out to start the car and nothing would happen - I'd be stuck somewhere with a broken starter. So, long story short, the mechanic checked it out, confirmed what I had suspected and replaced the starter. I can't complain; my little Kia has been paid off for almost 6 years now and rarely gives me problems (unless I cause them myself). Still, with all of the ice and snow, I find myself entertaining the idea of trading it in for a 4-wheel drive, something like a Toyota Rav4...
The rest of my day was spent doing laundry and napping with Bailey. Mary called shortly before 5 pm and invited me to join the family at Grille & Gill for dinner. Because of my crazy schedule for inventory, I got dressed and went, figuring I wouldn't see them for the better part of a week. I had the mixed grilled - salmon, crabcakes and shrimp. Yummy!
After dinner, we all came back and picked Bailey up for a trip to PetSmart. (Nobody really needed to go to PetSmart, it was really just an excuse to get her out of the house and take her for a ride in the van.) On the way home, Jeff decided to drive through McDonald's for a small ice cream for - guess who? {Sigh} Their love affair with her continues...
