New Car! and errands...
Recently, my parents got a new car. Now that we have three cars, I am no longer stranded at home or dependant on my parents whom are working full time and part time (my father and mother, respectively). No longer do I have to ask them if I will be able to go somewhere (although I still have to ask for permission). No longer will an empty garage haunt my eyes and destroy hopes of going to the movies or going to wednesday night church. FREE AT LAST! But... some added responcabilities come with this option. Firstly, I am now much more likely to be sent on "fetch" errands- ranging from fetching some onions for green beans to fetching my brother from his football/swimming/track practice. Picking up my brother is not that bad, but when I'm supposed to get something from the store, the difficulty is unpredictable. Produce is pretty easy- either it's there or it isn't. But certain items like chocolate syrup can possibly be found in multiple sections(ex. ice cream, toppings, deserts,exc.), but can actually only be found in one. And the bigger the store, the more time it takes. One time I had to look for cream of mushroom soup at Wal-Mart. An easy task, with either the canned goods or with the soups, right? No. I look in both areas, and it is nowhere to be found. I ask multiple people around the store, and I couldn't find it. When I'm about to give up, I see a "Specialty section" on the edges of one of the aisles, and.... there is the cream of mushroom, marked as 1/2 price. I did a *facepalm*, scratching my hand down my face slowly like someone scratching an old chalkboard(with the expression like I was hearing the chalkboard-scratching noise on my face) as I dragged my feet like a broken-leg zombie to the accursed jel-of-cream/mushroom contained within the cans. This luckily is my only experience with FML errand experiences, and as long as they are few and far between, I will find the freedom to drive w/out worry of lacking a car very, VERY worthwhile.
