Back story: yesterday (and this morning) I really wanted toast. However, in the divorce, the wasband wanted the toaster and like pretty much all the stuff he wanted, I let him have the toaster and I haven't had the opportunity to replace it yet. So, after debating how bad I wanted toast for breakfast, I came up with the solution. You make grilled cheese using a skillet and the outside of the sandwich is basically like toast so I applied the same principle.... I butter both sides of a piece of bread and placed it in a hot skillet. When it was toast, I added some strawberry jam. YUM! =) By the time I was finished, I thought to myself that I could have used another four pieces of skillet toast... It's a good thing that I don't have a lot of time in the mornings before work or my weight loss would be in trouble due to all of the skillet toast I would be eating... =)
Had church this morning and then came home and settled into what I thought would be an uneventful afternoon... WRONG! After talking to Mom, I was going to go and get sprinkles for a Valentine's celebration tomorrow. When I started my car, the battery light turned on.... Not exactly sure what that meant, I called Dad to ask. After informing me that it was either an issue with my battery, a belt or the alternator, we decided I should head to Auto Zone to see if they could test my battery out. Of course the battery checked out fine and it ended up being that the alternator needed to be replaced. At least the person at Auto Zone knew someone who could possibly replace the part, I just needed to call them up. Luckily they could do the work and it didn't cost me an arm and a leg like it would have if I would have gone through the dealership (as the wasband swore by doing).
So, after standing outside in the chilly temperatures (at least the sun was trying to shine) for just over an hour and a half, the car was fixed (I was very glad I grabbed a jacket on the way out of my apartment; not so happy with my footwear choice.... basically flip-flops). I then went and was able to (finally) buy the sprinkles that I originally went out to purchase. After getting back into my car after being so chilly I was shivering, let me just say how much I love my seat warmers!! When I got to the store, they only had one option (the first store I went to was completely out of sprinkles and the second store only had red sugar sprinkles), so that's what I bought. One I finally got home, I changed immediately into a sweatshirt and a pair of sweatpants.... Ahhhh, cozy. =)
Now that I have eaten and the dogs have been fed, we are all much happier. =) I think we are going to spend the rest of the evening curled up on the couch and just relaxing. At least I did the bulk of my errands/housework yesterday so I think I have earned an evening of relaxation. I think I will pop in a movie so I can avoid the last minute Valentine's Day commercials.... Have a fabulous week, everyone!! =)
