Oil changes aren’t all bad
Of course it was on sale!
Last Wednesday I had go and take care of a less-than-desirable errand – an oil change. I am pro-car, yet anti-car. I don’t like dealing with anything car-related, but I love having a car to take to the grocery store. What’s a girl to do? Shop, that’s what. Luckily, located in the same plaza as Canadian Tire were a few stores I could peruse while waiting for the work on my car to be finished. The shops in the vicinity weren’t ones I normally go into, but I had to work with what I had – this was a browsing emergency!
First stop, Reitmans. Quick scan, try on one pair of sandals, reject, exit. A Paderno kitchen store was next. Leisurely stroll, shock at the prices, buy nothing. Stop at Quiznos for a sub. Annoyed that there is no regular mustard, only honey mustard. Buy sub anyway, on a medium-size bun. Grow increasingly disgusted with honey mustard and reject sandwich along with sandals at Reitmans. Irritated with self for not buying the smaller size of sandwich, even with knowledge that medium-size sandwich would have medium-sized serving of honey mustard. Head to Zellers to check out clearance sections. Score above necklace, negating other bad experiences of afternoon. Buy necklace, US Weekly, and gum. Walk back to Canadian Tire and read celebrity gossip in waiting room. Score deal on oil change – sale on synthetic Mobil 1 oil. Yep, I said it – it’s me, talkin’ shop about synthetic Mobil 1 oil.
Tally it Up total: necklace from Zellers – $3.13; overall total so far in 2010 – $276.52

You went to Quiznos-I thought you couldn’t eat those subs?? And, what is wrong with honey mustard?? Medium size for you and you don’t even like them….
Your necklace – I have the same brand of sandals – Jules and James – must be a Zellers exclusive!!
Synthetic oil on sale – if you are looking for an interesting conversation with your brother – talk synthetic oil – and ask him about the filter he was so happy to find at CT

I went to Quiznos because Starbucks was the only other place around for lunch. I thought maybe my tastes had evolved, but apparently they have not progressed that much. And yes, medium-size – I was hungry!

Don’t tell me you bought – and wasted- another sandwich.
You’re like a child.

I ate over half of it! At least I didn’t bunch it up in a bag and throw it on the floor this time…
