Cars Cost Time and Money! Lol

Along with freedom comes responsibility and having Allen's car I
have freedom and therefore I have to be responsible enough to help the
economy by spending money!!

On Thursdays I usually do my food shopping by going to Winn Dixie and/or Publix but today I had a car to use as long as I wanted. I started off by going to the post office and mailing the paintings to Rogallery.





Yes,
I decided to trust that they were honest dealers and legitimate. I gave
it to them on consignment and will see what they sell it for. If I can
get $500 or $1,000 I'll be happy--that will buy me a DVD and VHS
player/recorder. By the way I did send it certified with a return
signature plus I insured it for $500--I'm not that stupid and/or trusting.




After that I went to Lowe's and bought myself two plants--the red one is a Salvia and the pink one is a Penta--to add to my window plant sill. I can pull the blind down so the birds won't get to eat them!  LOL

Next on to the Dollar Tree store on 17th Street which has
now become part of my Thursday routine. They have a frozen food and
produce section where you can buy a package of 16 slices of cheese for 
a dollar, ice cream, fresh frozen fruits, steaks, etc., for a dollar
each and, oh yes, chocolate covered Graham crackers and chocolate
covered pretzels, which, somehow landed up in my basket along with a few other items.



After
that I was on y way for my MRI which I was hoping wouldn't turn out
like the others where I panicked out after 30 seconds except one where
I was given a Valuim. This was an open, stand up or sit down which
should have  been a lot easier.



Actually
I did last through the first half but bolted before they put in the
'contrasting dye' but the technician said that it wasokay as they got the important pictures.

On the way home I stopped and put in $5 worth of gas--I try to do that each time I am out so it stays above the half
full and, also, so I won't get 'hit' having to fill it up--which
actually is a little less than 2 gallons!  LOL

My last stop was at Publix partially feeling proud of myself for having lasted longer than usual
on the MRI so I felt I deserved a reward and because I didn't finish
the MRI I was embarrassed so I had to console myself. Filling both feelings was a special they were having and something I hadn't had
before--Diana's Bananas Banana Babies!!! They are frozen bananas
covered in chocolate. After I finished the package I decided they
weren't too good--I tried them two ways, the first frozen and the
second slightly thawed--neither way were they satisfactory.



All in all a busy day spending money--guess I'll have to blame Allen for letting me have the car--but don't tell him!
