Gah!
I haven't shopped off the wishlist for my solstice gift to myself, but I decided to combine the Slurpee run with the trip to Best Buy that I didn't make yesterday. I decided to get the Slurpee first but of course they had icky flavors and the best flavor was totally over-aerated and the second-best flavor was not even frozen and I blew off the top* trying to eke out some over-aerated stuff and got stickiness all over the cup and my hands and of course a quick search of the slurpee, coffee, donut, and hot dog areas turned up no napkins. What a waste of $0.94.
Then I had to drive with sticky hands (so digging in the heels of my hands and attempting to steer with my wrists).
And then there was an unexpected detour. MDOT could be a little more forthcoming with the road signs. Putting up one barricade that says that a bridge is closed is really not sufficient. Just because a bridge is closed somewhere in That General Direction doesn't necessarily mean the road is completely closed. I'm sure those folks were darned sick and tired of people turning around in the entrance to their froofy subdivision. After turning around and going another way, I discovered signs for a detour which I'm sure was not marked at the intersection I originally came from.
But I got to Best Buy and not only was Maroon 5 on sale for $7.99, so was Jason Mraz so of course I had to get both. If I end up not liking Jason Mraz, he's going up on half.com.
*Everybody knows that you're supposed to put the top on first and then fill the cup, not fill the cup and then put on the top, right?

"MDOT"
I read this as "mmmmmm. dot" and thought it was going to be something dirty or fun.
Now it's just funny. MDOT. (probably only to me though. seeing as I'm in that whole highway thing. DOT, isn't dot, as in . it's more like, oh never mind
Now I have MmmmBop in my head, thank you very much. I would expect you of all people to know what MDOT might be. But I'm glad I could entertain you. Or more accurately, I'm glad I could cause you to entertain yourself.
:D
I love Mraz's "The Remedy". Haven't listened to any of his other stuff, but homeboy is from the next hometown over from mine!
God, I miss slurpees!!!!
DRC, go to Burger King and get either a Frozen Coke or a Frozen Minute Maid. I'm currently without 7-Eleven, and the BK frozen drinks come prtty close.
