I'm Not A Fool. I Have Four Wheels.

Aud and I stopped on Friday to p.u. some supplies for our “end of the world party”.  The grocery store (Schnuck’s) is right by the alcohol store (Friar Tuck’s).  I gave Thomas a call and asked him if he needed me to pick something up.  Of course, yes!  He asked for some “Hop Devil”, which I think is appropriate for “an end of the world” party.  It hit me right then that aud was making a cake called “death by chocolate”.  We weren’t even trying to be this awesome!!!!

I sent aud into the store and then looked toward Friar Tuck’s.  it looked soooo far away, maybe 35 yards.  Yes, I drove to it.  And you know what?  My parking space rocked!!!  And you know what’s even better?  My parking spot when I drove back the 35 yards to the grocery store was an even better spot than before I left.  It might have been the “expectant mother’s” space.  You see, the sign was between two spaces so I decided it went with the space on the left (you know, road signs usually refer to the lane to the left of it) and I was parking in the one on the right, so it’s all good.

Why did I drive you ask?  Well, it was blowing some mighty cold wind, and I might have been wearing my birks, and I might have been wearing those without socks, and I might have not wanted to put my jacket on b/c I was only going to take it off 2 minutes later and that makes me angry b/c I have to carry it all through the store, and I might have not wanted to carry the two 6 packs that far b/c the cardboard handles get uncomfortable after awhile, and I might have been carrying my big purse that has everything I own in it and carrying that and the beer would have made me off balance and I would have never made it back to my car b/c I would have been walking in circles, and it might have been b/c I am lazy and just didn’t want to.  Who knows?  It’s a mystery.

Do you know what’s even better?.  Today Thomas and I made the same stop.  First we went into Friar Tuck’s to get the beer and then we were heading over to the grocery store.  He put the beer in the back of the van and I climbed into the passenger seat.  He asked me what I was doing b/c Schnuck’s was right there.  I explained to him that it was too far.  Anyway, he made me walk, something about being lazy. Whatever.  I was trying like crazy to think of all the reasons we shouldn’t walk.  I was listing off all the things that we would need, and since it was me I would find even more things I need that I didn’t know I needed right then.  Guess who was sent out to move the van closer?  That’s right, me!!!!  OMG, right as am writing this I just realized that I had to walk there and back and he only had to walk there.  WTH?  Thomas – 1, Krista – 0.  I hate it when he wins.
