Wash Me

Place: Taco Time
Lunch: 2 crispy beef tacos (no tomato), crispy chicken burrito, Coke

Ever have one of those things you need to do but just never get around to?

For, like, a week?

Mine was washing the car. I meant to do it before heading on vacation last week...actually the week before last as of now.

July 16, 2009 - Go to ShortStop to fill up and run through Soaks the Car Wash. Totally forget about Soaks the Car Wash.

July 18, 2009 - Filling up at Maverik in Evanston, WY. Spy the self-car wash next door. Plan to use said self-car wash. Finish filling up, run into store to purchase large soda, run out, leave without washing the car.

July 19, 2009 - Car is rained on. It's a very dirty rain. Poor thing is filthy. Pass dozens of car washes without even thinking about it.

July 21,2009 - Drive to Vegas and back. Look for car washes along the way. Never actually see any.

July 22, 2009 - Notice car is started to be covered in bird poop at Farr West 7-Eleven. Decide to swing by Chevron self-car wash up the highway. Drive by it five minutes later having completely forgotten why.

July 23-24, 2009 - Wake up determined to wash car. Forget the minute I walk out the door.

July 25, 2009 - Drive through heavy downpours in Colorado. Clean rain. Bird poop washes away. Most of the dirt too. Still needs washed though.

July 26, 2009 - I'm so tired and in a bad mood from driving through Nebraska that I just don't care anymore.

July 27, 2009 - Eleven days and seven states later, I finally wash the car.

Now if I could just remember to vacuum it...
