He vs. Me

Okay, so here's a big difference between Dave and I: He can't stand being bored for even one minute. Me on the other hand, I love being bored, as it doesn't happen very often.

So this morning when we dropped our car off and it was going to take 2 hours, instead of 45 minutes as we thought, Dave immediately knew he couldn't tolerate sitting there in that little waiting area for that amount of time.

What he said, "Let's take a little walk." (Next time, I'll ask him exactly what he means by "little". Because the journey we took yesterday, was far from little!)

We headed out from Firestone, walked completely around the perimeter of the Bellevue Center. Crossed the busy street, thought we'd get some breakfast at Jack In The Box, then remembered there was a Shoney's "just down the street a little more". Ha!! But what was a little more after the hike we'd already endured. So on we continued.

After our Shoney's breakfast as we headed back, the Firestone people called us and said our car was finished. Perfect timing, in Dave's view! Not one bored second! Tired and exhausted I arrived at our new-tired car. Sorry, Dave, but don't look to me for anymore exciting adventures today. I think I'll be spending the rest of your day off doing nothing . . . being bored!!
