the best days

are days like today, when Rob and I are both home with nowhere we immediately need to be.  I only worked from 9 to 11:45 today because we *thought* the Cincinnati Bell guy was going to come and install our new internet service between noon and 2.  However, they called in the middle of the week to ask to switch the service date to Saturday.  I had already called off work so I wasn't about to back out of that sweet deal.  Rob even ended up working from home today, too, so there was doubly a reason I didn't need to be home.

So.  I left Oakley a little before 12, and headed to Beechmont where I could use my car wash coupons and got my car cleaned the right way.  And while we are on the subject of cars: some advice - DON'T BUY A NEW CAR.  Ugh.  For real.  I bought my Honda Fit brand spanking new at the end of May last year.  It was so precious and perfect and I loved/love it so much.  EXCEPT.  Ugh.  It's not even a year old and it has scratches ALL over it, dents in the driver side door, and a frickin CRACK in the windshield.  ALREADY.  I know this happens to cars, and I'm not one who especially cares if my car is in mint condition, but COME ON.  I still owe 9 grand on that thing.

Anyway.

After that I came home and weeded the flower beds.  The lawn needs to be mowed badly but I am saving that job for Rob.  That and the taking out the garbage/recycling are his only household responsibilities and I will NOT do them for him.  In approximately an hour we will be heading to the hardware store and purchasing a weed eater so our lawn mower doesn't break when he mows the grass (yeah...it's that bad right now).

Also, remember when I got my hair cut?
