My Jetta reached 100,000 miles on the way home from Qdoba on Tuesday. Joe was excited to be in the car when it rolled over. I was going to take a picture but no one really cares. I’m hoping I can get away with another 100,000 miles before getting a new car since we’re going to be replacing Joe’s truck soon as it is. It’s been nice not having any car payments the past two years!
By the way, if you haven’t tried Qdoba’s naked burritos, please do. I think they are tastier than Chipotle’s and they have ground beef which Chipotle does not. Plus I got $100 worth of certificates for $50 through a local radio promo so Chipotle can suck it for now.
I decided to clean up my feed reader again today and I really cut back on the content I’m subscribed to. Whenever there are unread feeds I feel anxious and obligated to catch up. So then instead of really paying attention, I skim over the entries. I removed True Wife Confessions even though I love reading it because I feel extra appreciation for the relationship I’m in after hearing about all the bullshit those woman deal with. I could never be with someone who doesn’t talk to me or who expects me to do everything around the house. We both work full-time so we share the responsibility of maintaining the house. Sure, I may do the majority of the cooking (and all of the upkeep for Oreo), but I have not pumped gas or washed my car in seven years. And with the exception of two weeks ago when Joe was at work and I had a friend over, I never vacuum either.
Anyway, maybe now I’ll be more “productive” with my free-time. Even if I play on the Wii or get back into Guitar Hero I’ll be getting more exercise than sitting in front of the computer. Plus I need to stop surfing late at night. I’m having enough trouble sleeping and I read the brightness from the screen can have an effect on that. I need to read more before bed or listen to my iPod (I stopped doing that for some reason).
It just occurred to me the other day that it’s less than a month before the Cure concert and I’m not feeling a lot of excitement. I blame it on the lack of a new album which I hear isn’t being released until September. Also, I hate the venue where they’re playing. I’m sure I’ll enjoy the show, though. I have never been disappointed by a Cure concert. It’s always, at the risk of sounding lame, a completely magical experience for me because they are such a great live band.
I have a hard time keeping up with everything in my feed reader, and I did cut back at one point, but the ones left are all blogs of people I feel like I know somewhat and care about. I try to keep up with everyone the best that I can, though sometimes it is done in bursts on the weekend. That is why some of my comments are not exactly timely :)
