Successful day/Anticipation for tomorrow night
After kvetching about being confused about the Illinois and Indiana toll road prices, some friends on FB recommended that I get an I-Pass. It is $52.90 and comes equipped with $40 in toll fare. It is cheaper to use and you don't have to dig for $. Once I realized that it can be used in 14 states (mostly states I would travel through if I were to go back to Virginia to visit family), I was SOLD. The closest place to get it was Moline, IL, which is JUST across the state line from Iowa. Heading east, the Mississippi separates Iowa from Illinois.
The local pharmacy sold them. You can get your I-Pass, prescriptions and liquor all in one stop! Score! I have to admit I love living in states where I can get hard liquor at drugstores and supermarkets :) The first state I lived in that was like that was California. Oh Cali, how I miss you!
No, I do NOT drink and drive LOL
Afterward, I hit CVS and Dunkin' Donuts. I SO missed their coffee and their munchkins. The munchkins were for AFTER dinner tonight. I then headed back across the Mississippi into Iowa, grabbed lunch at Cracker Barrel, picked up a couple of things at Sam's club, got my car washed and drove back home. Got home JUST in time for a thunderstorm.
It got up to 80 degrees today. Tomorrow the high is only gonna be 44. That is wrong on so many levels! Why tease us with good weather only to screw us over? Weather goddess, YOU SUCK!
Tomorrow night is the Men's NCAA College Basketball championship. Since my team (Duke) is out of it, I might not watch the whole thing. However, there is one thing I do know. I SO want Butler to beat UConn! For the most part, I can not stomach Big East teams. Regardless of who wins, I will be watching the anthem to wrap up the NCAA Season. "One Shining Moment"
I am excited that CBS came to their senses and will go back to using the Luther Vandross version of the song
Excuse me while I belt out the lyrics...at least the first verse
The ball is tipped
and there you are
you're running for your life
you're a shooting star
And all the years
no one knows
just how hard you worked
but now it shows...
(in) ONE SHINING MOMENT, IT'S ALL ON THE LINE
ONE SHINING MOMENT, THERE FROZEN IN TIME...
