the day wasn't a total loss
May. 8th, 2004 11:59 pmbut it could have been.
We spent our gift certificates and got our dinnerware. Ordered the new countertop for Cyn's kitchen. Did some work at her place (sanded and varnished windowsills, primed some more windows, pulled weeds in the lawn). Made grasshoppers. Watched some Dr. Who. Made some bread with the new breadmaker.
But the flat tire sure sucked.
At the last minute, we decided to go to Linens 'N Things first, instead of Home Depot. This meant a different route. But the freeway was closed (probably an accident), so we had to pick a new route, which went to Home Depot anyway. And at one point, Cyn thought we should go via 92nd street, but I suggested hwy 100. If we'd turned on 92nd, we wouldn't have hit that chunk of concrete. Or if we had decided to go to Home Depot in the first place. Or if the freeway hadn't been closed.
But the good side (*rolls eyes*) is that I learned what tires cost for this car. They're not cheap. An Eagle LS costs over double what Cyn's tire cost us on our trip in January.
Did I ever mention the new Mustang? It's a 2003. Cyn's son and I bought it. He's making the payments on it and driving it until the end of the summer. Then it's mine. But he's borrowing Cyn's wagon this weekend, so we've got the Mustang. I'm glad we didn't wreck it.
