day 'leven

Lazy day.

I realized I had forgotten to purchase toilet paper at the grocery store when I went there, so I had to stop by Dollar General to pick some up on the way to the gym. Toilet paper just sucks . . . unless you have like a fancy bidet or something, you need to buy it. And then there's the whole comfort factor . . . I'm too proud for Scott brand and all that cheap rough stuff! So I settle on Charmin Basic . . . cheap, but not too fancy.

On the way home from the gym I ran into Dairy Queen and got one of those brownie sundae waffle bowls . . . DAMN THE COMMERCIALS! But I had a sweet tooth, and it was either stop there, which was on the way, or go out of my way for sweets.

Then I drove into DSM later for dodgeball and movienight at Blake/Kevin's. Had to get gas on the way back, so I drove a little further until I found BP. Bought the ethanol grade, but I buy the normal non-ethanol whenever I am going on long trips b/c I get more mileage. Otherwise, I go for whatever is cheapest. My mileage for my last tank was 37.6 mpg . . . NOT BAD. Nice to finally get away from the poor mileage that winter driving and the additives that are put in gas in cold weather bring . . . I also again pumped "slower" to avoid having excess air being pumped into my tank along with the gas.

Total expenses: $48.00 ($38 was gas)
