It pays to ask questions

I started on the process of replacing my lost keys today. First up, car keys at 9am. Now, normally, 9am isn't a big deal, but it's my vacation, and waking up before noon seems like an abomination. I made it a bit early and read my latest find in the parking lot, The Bucolic Plague. It's about two guys from Manhattan who buy a historic farm in upstate New York. It's pretty good. The author is a former drag queen. Yes, it's not your typical fare.
When it was time to pony up the money for the new keys, I asked if the lost keys were covered since I'd bought the car within the last year. The usual person who can find that out is on vacation (it must be that time of year), so I got to read for another half hour while they figured it out. Instead of paying a little over $200 to replace the keys, it ended up being $17. So, that was awesome! Yay for buying a new car!!!
After the car place, I stopped out at TJ Maxx (it's the only one I know of in the city, and it's fairly far out (the car dealership is on the edge of the boonies). I found another bra in my new size, a supercute sweater for $3, and some underpants. TMI? I figured I deserved some new things, especially since I just "saved" $180.
And now I've caught up on Castle, am working on catching up on Bones, and am thinking about dinner. I ate some delicious chicken salad with tomato on a mini baguette (yesterday it was cambozola, tomato, and ham on a mini baguette).  Central Market limeade and some lemon olives were the appetizers. Tonight might be spaghetti and salad. Maybe. Hmm.
I'm such a lame blogger.
