I actually got to work early (by 9:00). I can't remember if I showered or not, but by feeling my greasy head today, I'm willing to bet that I didn't. Why did I get work done so early? Because I had errands to run!
The first one involved driving to Wherehouse Music to buy a CD for my Grandma's birthday. I was actually surprised to find it. I also picked up a Victor Wooten CD for myself. On the cover it prominently said, "Featuring Bootsy Collins!" So how could I resist?
Before I went home I swung by Jiffy Lube and had them lube away. And especially change the windshield wipers. Dey needed it.
The afternoon was pretty standard, what with working and picking up Carrie for lunch like regular peoples. After she came home from work I wrapped the CD and then created a card. Here it is:
We then drove up to Federal Way to Marie Calendar's, where we were meeting my family for din-dins. Carrie & I were the first ones there, and they didn't have a record of any Harris reservation, even though I could have sworn my mom said she'd made a reservation. Turns out she did. They just didn't have it.
Whoops!
We didn't have to wait all that too long to be seated (only about a half hour). I ordered a gorgonzola bacon burger. They brought me a guacamole bacon burger.
Whoops!
But grandma had a coupon that gave six of the seven of us free pie after dinner. Still, the whole dinner thing took two frikkin' hours. By the time we got to my folks' house it was after 8:30! Jeez!
Carrie & I came home almost immediately after presents were opened. But we didn't come home empty-handed. We came home with my brother's copy of Clone High, which we put on in the bedroom.
