taking care of business


I felt super productive this weekend and please excuse me as I give myself a big pat on the back.

I ran several errands on Saturday and felt quite accomplished in checking them off my list. I washed and then proceeded to wax (part of) my car. In doing that, I noticed that there were several small spots that needed a little paint. So, being the grown-up and proactive young woman that I am...(intentional pause), I went to Advanced Auto Parts and successfully purchased a matching paint for my car.

I painted those spots with the nail polish looking brush and knew that this was a moment to remember. Previously, my dad had been the only person to tend to those things. I'd go to my parents' house and he'd commence a thorough inspection of my car. He'd recommend doing this or that. And I'd usually "supervise" while he'd get my car back to its fighting weight.

But now, I'm going to do that. If I see a problem with my car (or something else), I'll try my darndest to fix it.

And a shout-out to Advanced Auto Parts. They've been helpful not once, twice, but three times in my experiences there. Maybe it doesn't hurt that I'm a confused looking 24-year-old girl, too.
