Well...my budget is definitely not that "tight", but I had not planned on buying a new tire today. I have been avoiding getting it checked out because I had a feeling the prognosis wasn't going to be good. I knew it wouldn't be able to be patched when the guy came out and said "I have bad news and worse news." Oh joy! Please. Do tell! 1) I needed a new tire and they couldn't patch it. 2) They didn't have my tire in stock and it needed to be sent here from a different location.
I needed/wanted it done today. My week is busy and I didn't want to mess with it any other day. I needed to pick Carole Anne & Lucien up from the airport in a few hours and I just wanted the tire to be fixed! Thankfully they got it there in a couple of hours and I'm now the owner of a new tire. It's really annoying that my car is not old enough to need a new tire :(
The best part about it all is that Dad was super awesome and paid the bill :) Thanks Dad!
So...It's Day 5 and I still haven't spent any money. Whoo hoo!! No worries though. Day 6 is just around the corner and I'll definitely be spending money. Carole Anne is a bad influence (haha)! We're getting Einsteins for breakfast and we're meeting Des for lunch. I'll blow half of my monthly budget tomorrow (giggle)!

ReplyDeleteI can't believe you got your dad to pay for your tire!! You crack me up...
but i was at Kohl's with my mom the other day and i saw this cute sign and i went "OMG, HOW CUTE!" My mom says, "Are you going to get it?" Me:"No, i can't...i don't need it. Remember? It's my new thing..no spending money on things i just don't need." My mom:"I'll buy it." Me:"okay!" LOL!!!!!!!! My parents are EXACTLY like yours. We go out to eat and my dad says, "Put your money away..don't argue with your father! I'm paying!" Um, if you insist..... ;)
LOL!! My parents used to be this way then they both retired....the days of that are gone now for me!! LOL!!
ReplyDeleteWTG DAD! hehe!
ReplyDeleteYes! I'm definitely lucky that my parents spoil me. I'll be very sad when that ends :(
ReplyDeleteWoo-freaking-hoo! Your daddy is the best!
ReplyDeleteEinsteins, oh how I love the! Good thing I have a special hook-up there. Too bad you don't. hahahaha
Yes he is Helen :)
ReplyDeleteAnd Einsteins was SOOOO yummy this morning! I totally need the hook-up there!
Which one did you go to? Is there one in Frisco now? I need to quit thinking about it or I'll be tempted to go for lunch. ;)
ReplyDeleteThe one in Plano off of Parker/Tollway :)
ReplyDeleteYou should go there for lunch and then bring one to me (Asiago not toasted with Jalapeno salsa cream cheese...haha)
That's one of the ones I used to manage. Perhaps you should try a different one in Plano though. DO NOT ask why. ;)
ReplyDeleteHow are you going to tell me that and then not tell me why?!?!? I don't think so little missy!
ReplyDeleteTrust me - you just don't want to know. I'd imagine things could have changed since I was there... But the whole reason I was there was to change it & I couldn't, so I doubt things have changed. ;)
ReplyDeleteOh Lord! You seriously need to email me and tell me what was wrong there. I eat there often enough that you've now scared me! haha!
