Autozone Deceived Me

I was deceived twice by the same place! I went to Autozone to get some oil and I figured it out that it would be cheaper to get the 5qt jug of oil than to by 5 of the little bottles. It was even cheaper because a $5 off coupon was hanging on the bottle. I thought score! Mostly because I was saving money but also because I was using a coupon, I never use a coupon! The guy rang me up but the $5 off didn't work. There was another coupon for $3 off behind it and that worked. Regardless of the money saved and the fact that I would've bought the jug w/o the coupon, I still felt taken. Then yesterday I had to buy a new battery for the van. The guy at Autozone (I know! Why did I go back? Because it's really close to the house, leave me alone!) pulled the battery off the shelf and attached were the felt battery protector things for the terminals. So as he rang up the battery he asked if I wanted to buy them for an extra $3. Immediately the $3 off coupon popped in my head. Now it's like the coupon didn't even exist. I asked, "So they don't come with the battery?" "Nope" "So you're just going to rip off my battery huh?" "Yep" So I said no I don't want 'em. They weren't making any more money off me!

Rachael has decided to start this boot camp deal early in the morning, inspired by P90X and how she couldn't stand how boring and annoying the workouts are. She likes being up and getting stuff done in the morning, but like the rest of us has a really hard time getting up. Making me proud she got up this morning (I'm not sure, but I think it was 4:30), first of many I hope, and did the workout. She said it was intense. Unfortunately, she has to drive 15-20 min to get to the place, which can be an obstacle later when you are trying to motivate yourself to keep doing it.

Sean has a little bag of toys filled with little bottles of bubbles and things. There's a hole in it so he keeps losing things in it. It was really annoying trying to get him ready for bed and he kept losing stuff saying, "Where is she?" Then I would say, "Don't say, where is she, say, where is it?" I must have said that at least 10 times. It's funny how they make everything a he or she. You can also notice the processing power in their little brains. For example: they set their brains to saying, "Hold you mommy." all day long. It's fast and automatic. So when I get home they know they need to say, "Hold you daddy." So I wait as they say to me, "Hold you mom ummm aa hold you daddy."

If it were to hail here in AZ right now being 111 degrees, how many feet would it travel before it melted?
