updates

so mark told you i have gotten into 24. yes, this is true. we watched the whole first season in basically a week or two. but what he did not tell you is that he also likes it and is obsessed with one of the main characters- tony almeida. when i call him he answers the phone, "almeida." and then when i call to ask him to stop by the grocery store on the way home, he says something like, "copy that, i have teams in position. we're a go."

another topic-
something i have realized about myself recently is that i absolutely hate doing errands. some people love errands. i do not. yesterday i saw a $27 charge on my credit card from blockbuster. so i call. apparently, i turned in a video 6 days late. now they are going to credit my card back since i turned it in (minus a $1.25 restocking fee) but i just thought to myself, why can't you turn things in on time? i always have library fines on books. i drive til my car is almost completely empty before i will stop and get gas. and if we run out of something at home, say glass cleaner, i will most likely take a few months to replace it. why? i hate errands. i hate spending time driving to walmart or the post office or the video store. (there may be more to it...like laziness?) anyway. i explained this to mark and after i was finished, he said "getting gas is not an errand."

lol. denise. we're different. i love errands. well, i love making a list of errand and then crossing them off the list as i do them. so really i think it's the list-crossing-gratification that i enjoy more than the errand itself. perhaps you could outsource your errands to me, assuming you provide a list for crossing-off.

To avoid one of your errands, check out Blockbuster online! You just download the movie and watch! And, it's cheaper than renting from the store!

Ryan and I LOVE it!

denise, i totally resonate with this post. and, YES, getting gas *is* an errand- or more like a risk i take. today, i went over my 33-miles-after-empty-light-on record by FIVE miles!!

gosh, i hate errands. if you ever want to not run errands together, i'm down.
