- not the least of which is getting a prime parking place at the grocery store at 9am. 

So far today:

• Up, dressed, and hair and teeth brushed
• Boyfriend driven to work
• Kid sent off to school
• Groceries bought and put away
• Breakfast – free! from McDonald’s since their credit card reader wasn’t working – bought and eaten
• Dinner figured out, meat thawing
• Laundry started
• Shopped for wallet, nothing found worth the price
• Stopped by an antiques store that I’ve been wanting to visit, didn’t appear to be open, darn it

I drove boyfriend to work this morning because he has an eye appointment later this afternoon to have his pupils dilated, and while he could easily drive himself TO the appintment, he woudn’t be able to drive himself home afterwards. He’s getting ready to have his eyeballs all chopped up and put back together by laser, so I get to play Taxi on my days off…explaining why I had so much done by 10:30am today – a time that I would otherwise still be sitting around in my pajamas and catching up on the blogosphere.

I figure if I’m going to be unselfish (ha!) enough to play taxi and nursemaid on my time off – time that I really need to be devoting to a pedicure and my eyebrows – I deserve a present for it, hence the wallet shopping. Just haven’t found anything I like. *le sigh* It’s like handbag shopping all over again. Perhaps I’ll head out to the mall before I pick up El Boyfriend for his appointment this afternoon in the car that he’s letting me drive for the first time since he bought it in July…only because it has GPS and he’s not sure where the eye doctor’s office is, but still. It’s a Gold Star On The Calender kind of day.
