Making plans pays off in the future but procrastination benefits you now!

I have come to realize that I am a procrastinator, you can tell this by the way I put off paying bills until the late fees hit, but we'll just leave that wound without salt for the moment and instead I will tell you a cute little pointless story.

Tuesday I met the Roommate at his place of business as he and I were going to have a birthday drink with his boss after work. I know his boss pretty well since he was my customer for almost 7 years at Asshole Co. Anywho, as I returned from the parking meter (we have those "satellite" meters here where you walk to the center of the block, slide in either change or your ATM card and receive a slip of paper that you stick to your window showing you've paid for you spot----only to have to get a razorblade to scrape off the left over adhesive when you try to yank it off, and let me tell you that ain't easy with plastic Jeep windows---sheesh!) with my aforementioned ticket of impending sticky residue I noticed my rear passenger tire was low. Way low. So I made a mental note to stop and get it aired-up on my way home provided it wasn't too flat to drive home on after a bottle of champagne. Lucky for me I guzzle. So I safely made it to a gas station and aired it up that evening and damn it to hell if it wasn't flat-ish again this morning! The nerve! So I drove it across town (I didn't have any coins to use the air machine at the gas station around the corner so I just drove it flattish----procrastinator and daredevil rolled up in one! Who'd a thunk it?) since there was a tire store by my work, where they fixed it for free! And then gave me an estimate for new tires as it looks like I'm about due (50,000 mile tires are going on 60,000). So, knowing me (see first sentence) you know I jumped right on that because I have 650 bucks to blow on tires right before I go out of town for the weekend.

Hopefully these loyal, old tires will get me through the summer or at least until I win the lottery any day now. If only I'd stop putting off getting that winning lottery ticket.
