It really wasn’t an eventful day. I mean I got out of the house & ran errands. Roomie decided it would be fun if I dropped her off at class. It was like JR high all over again. When I was just a newbie driver, I had to take not only her, but my brother to school when I first got my license. What fun was that. Instead of parking in OU’s lot, I just dropped her off on Elm. I was able to get an entire 2 errands ran while she was in class. One of them being the car wash.
Let’s just say that I will not being going to the Kangaroo Car Wash any more. Seriously. How is it that I can screw up an automatic car wash? …and not just once but three times! I sure wish I were kidding. I don’t make this stuff up people. The first time I went through, my car jumped the track. I’ve been to this car wash several times, my car has never just jumped the track. I didn’t touch the break, didn’t turn the wheel, and I definitely didn’t switch the gears in my car. No way, no how. The attendant shuts the wash off & comes to my rescue. We get my car back on the track & I drive out of the car wash, swing around & give it another try. A second try. Again, the same thing happens. I think it’s just not my day. I should’ve stayed in bed. Again, the dude comes to my rescue & I drive around again. Third time. We devise a plan on how to get my car through without this problem. I have to hold onto my steering wheel in a certain direction. Seriously, I love talking on the phone or texting or even turn up my radio super loud and just jam out. Oh yes, I’m that girl. I still wound up getting stuck on the third time. I mean seriously, who gets stuck in an automatic car wash three times? Crazy. I did walk away with a semi-clean car. The guy brought out paper towels & he helped dry off my car. I’m just going to go to a spray wash later this week and shine up my car, hopefully I won’t have any problems then, but you just never know!
The car wash was enough excitement for me today. Roomie & I did our grocery shopping. Needless to say after we were done I had my car loaded with lots of good for you veggies. I purchased an Eggplant, Butternut Squash, Zucchini, Onions, and a yummy French Onion Soup Mix. I love eating healthy.
*Roomie did try my Twelve Alarm Chili as Mom has thoughtfully nicknamed it. She really liked it. When asked what I used in it, I told her it was a secret. I actually added 5 or 6 types of beans, 2 cans of Green Chilies, lots of Cayenne, Paprika, 106 ozs. of blended tomatoes, Garlic, an ENTIRE cup of Crushed Red Pepper & other secret ingredients. It’s probably the BEST Chili I’ve ever made, I swear it’ll blow my Dad’s masterpiece out of the water – except I’d hate to burst his bubble that I have a few concoctions of my own, because you know, he’s a Food Chemist & well you just don’t say things like my recipe is better than yours to a Food Chemist. I learned that one the hard way.
