Hmm...

A raindrop just went into my coffee.

Today I:
  1. Rode from Somer's Point (near Atlantic City), NJ to Emporia, VA.
  2. Decided that the store Five and Below really sucks, kind of.*
  3. Had a piece of absolute junk bought out from under me at a yard sale.
  4. Found a charger to fit my phone (left mine in NY) at the hotel front desk. There was much rejoicing.
  5. Ate a perfect banana and threw the peel out the car window.
  6. Realized I have NEVER eaten at Taco Bell and then felt great about the decision later.
  7. Discovered a stow-away ant in my purse.


*First, the store is mostly a rip-off. Much of the stuff in there (including the $5 items) is available at Dollar Tree where everything is a dollar. Exception: the $1 items are still a bargain, and also they have lots of semi-cool shirts and posters for $5. Second, I bought an iPod cover there for $5 which scratched up the back of my precious and wouldn't allow the click wheel to be used because the plastic was too thick. I then went to Dollar Tree and bought TWO iPod covers for $2 total and they both are awesome and work and don't suck. (I was however, saddened at returning the $5 cover because it had a photo of kittens on it.)
I guess I say I don't like the store because while I don't mind cheaply made products for a low price, I do mind products that simply don't work combined with goofy return policies. (I couldn't have a store credit, i had to get a replacement item right then. I didn't want anything and I was in a hurry! Gah.)
