Get it done

Today I had a day off, so I was able to get a few things done, though not as much as I would have liked.

After driving Maryanne to work, I dropped off the cell phone bill before heading to East Town Mall. I had about 45 minutes to kill before anything really opened. The only places open were McDonald's and Starbucks; I went to the latter and got some hot cocoa and a scone. The scone wasn't really that good.

Once everything opened up around nine I went to Gordman's. The only worthwhile thing I found was a shirt. I killed some time at Barnes & Noble before the Dakota Watch kiosk finally opened. I decided I needed another new watch. I've decided that from here on out, all my new watches will need all steel cases. My body chemistry slowly erodes the plating on base metal cases.

I returned home for a bit to get some laundry done and do a few other things. Once the laundry was in the dryer I ventured out again. I stopped first to pick up my new glasses; glass lenses are 100% better. I then got a haircut at Cost Cutters before stopping at Stoughton Garden Center for a few things, including a bunch of bulbs.

While at Cost Cutters I came to a conclusion: Men's Journal must be in love with Brett Favre. Quite some time ago they did an article on the toughest men in America, and Favre topped the list. Now, in a more recent issue, they had a story about Favre and a 10-point plan for getting and keeping your dream job.

After returning home I rushed to finish the laundry and run the dishwasher so I'll have time to clean up before going to pick up Maryanne and drive north. Time might be tight.
