Day 11 - Meet Charlie

NOTE: AFTER I POSTED THIS I REALIZED POSTED TO MY WRONG BLOG!!! OOPS. IF YOU ARE HERE FOR COUPON TIPS - PLEASE DISREGARD THIS POST. THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO APPEAR ON MY FAMILY/MARTAHON BLOG! I CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO EASILY COPY OVER TO OTHER BLOG WITHOUT RETYPING (CUT/PASTE DON'T WORK!) SORRY!!

Heeeeeere's Charlie!

(Insert Picture Here) :o)

Well, normally there would be a picture right above here but hubby drove off again without me getting a chance to snap a picture of Charlie. I'll upload when I can.

Who is Charlie? Well, Charlie is my hubby's new truck. (I always name our vehicles, hubby is not amused and does not approve of the name "Charlie" but I figured I name them, I call them by name, so no one else really needs to like the name, right?) Well anyhoo, we set out Saturday morning to have a nice quiet lunch and do some shopping (nothing fun - - new part for the kitchen sink, possibly rent a carpet cleaner, get the dogs groomed, etc.). We even gave the kids a credit card so they could go get lunch themselves. Well......we show up at the restaurant and who walks in 10 minutes later but the kids! We can't even pay them to leave us alone! LOL. We hurried and ate and then left so we could attempt to lose them again without them following us when the phone rings. The dogs are already done at the groomers, so we headed back to pick them up and drop them off at home. We once again get back in the car to go do our errands when the kids call. They are at a local clothing store and found some "stuff" they needed. So, we stopped in with them, everybody got some clothes (I got running clothes - go figure) and once again we leave the children to finally get our errands done as we have to get home for a family graduation party by 5:30.........

Needless to say, the only thing we accomplished on our list was picking up the sink part. On a whim we decided to drive West Ashley "just to look" to see what trucks were out there available for sale. Well......about 5 hours later we were driving home with a new truck - Charlie! Talk about a last minute whim!! We rushed home, ran a brush through my hair and off to the graduation party - albeit an hour or so late. But...we did get there. Congratulations Skylar on graduation!

Needless to say after a whirlind of a day, no walking, running or training otherwise happened today. You never think about how exhausting buying a new car can be!

Set the alarm tonight though to get up at 6:45 a.m. for my first morning run! Wish me luck!
