Mental Note: Do more push-ups

My car needs a new battery. I mentioned this fact at Family Dinner the other day and remarked that I was thinking of just going to some auto shop to get a new battery. And my brother is all, "Don't do that! They'll charge you too much! Just go to Sears and buy a battery and I'll put it in for you." That sounded like a great plan to me. So today my class got out an hour early and my first instinct was to rush home and take a nap. But instead I was a responsible Wixom Vixen and decided to use the extra time to go to Sears and get a battery. I find the batteries and I'm looking around not really knowing what to look for or the difference between all the batteries. Then I start wondering how heavy they are. So I try to take one off of the shelves and I can't get it to even budge. I try a different one that's a little smaller and it barely lifts about 1/4". Those things are frickin' heavy! What the hell was my brother thinking? He knows that I have no upper body strength. It was a completely wasted trip. So now I'm back to my original plan of going to an auto shop where they do the lifting. Or I'll take Beckie next time I go to Sears cause she's got some major guns.
