Can I tell you how
Can I tell you how much better I am already feeling? SO MUCH BETTER! And how did this happen? Shopping. I know, what a girl.
First, I went and paid my apartment the $49.72 I owed them. They apologized for sending such a harsh letter out and said that was the only way they could get some people to respond. I can understand that, but really, a nice note first would have been a lot more customer friendly.
I really only went shopping in search of one thing: Bissell Little Green Machine Solution. You see, my dad gave me a Bissell handheld deep cleaning vacuum for Christmas to clean up little Gracie messes. It was supposed to come with a bottle of this magical solution, but did not. That’s ok! I’ll just run to Target and get some. Easier said than done. I end up browsing the DVDs (I also got a fancy new DVD player from my parents – woo hoo!), and found The All Day Yoga Workout for $16.99. I figured that one of the ways I can get out my rut is to do some exercise, and I can use my new DVD player. Unfortunately, I didn’t locate any of the magical vacuum solution – they were all out.
I figured I would stop next door at MacFrugal’s just to see if they had any. No luck, but I did pick up a few things for myself and a bone for Gracie.
Next, I stopped in at the Sprint PCS Store. They had a bunch of banners flying out front advertising a Year End Phone Clearance plus a 1500 minute plan for $34.99. I’m paying $29.99 for 120 minutes right now, so I wanted to inquire about changing plans. Also, my phone’s battery doesn’t really hold a charge anymore and the car charger doesn’t hold the phone, so I thought I would see what they had on clearance. I ended up purchasing a Sprint PCS NP1000 for $60. I should be able to get the Wireless Web service on this phone and it has software to sync up the info in the phone with info on your computer. I’ll probably hold off on purchasing any PDA while I play with this new toy.
Next, I figured I’d hit Albertson’s and pick up some groceries. I cruised around the store, picking up a few things and looking for the magic vacuum solution (to no avail). Then I decided I would just rent one of those big carpet shampooers and do my whole apartment. So I rent one of those, and notice the video store inside Albertson’s has DVDs. I had originally planned to hit Blockbuster later this evening to rent some DVDs for some exciting Saturday night entertainment, but Albertson’s was renting new DVDs for $0.99! Blockbuster is $3.49. I inquire as to what a person has to do in order to rent one – nothing! Just show your ID. So I picked up 28 Days and Fight Club.
So, aside from the fact that I never found the magical vacuum solution, I had a fun day shopping. I picked up a new DVD and cell phone, bought groceries, rented a carpet shampooer so I can have clean carpets for 2001, and rented 2 DVDs for $2. Yay!
