I talked to a few parents about a year-end gift for Coach, and got a fund started. Tigger lost his Bey Blade, fooling around after Chess Club. Critter left with Adam: he's sleeping over, and will call tomorrow when I'm supposed to go get him.
We were already at the parking lot for Toys R Us when I remembered my car. It's not ready yet. Pout. On the bright side, the reason is because they tried to save me money and didn't replace the solonoids. When they put it all back together, one of the solonoids wasn't working. So I don't get my car until Monday, put I don't have to pay for the extra work. They were trying to save me money, and cost me time, instead. And S. was extremely apologetic about it not being ready yet. Although it's a hassle not to have my car, at least I can drive around Bébé's. And S. has been very good about calling with status reports and such. Not at all like the owner, who took over the close-by Powers, and is a jerk.
I bought a Wonka bar at Toys R Us. No Golden Ticket. But I got chocolate and graham cracker goodness.
Time for dinner. Zatarain's and smoked sausage. Not sure which Zatarain's, but they're all yummy to me.
The list:
