Does McDonald's Count as an Errand?

Today was one of my favorite kind of days...a lazy day. We slept in and mosied through to the kitchen for breakfast before laying back down on the couch to watch Friends re-runs. After dozing back into unconciousness for a few hours, we were pretty hungry and nothing in the flat was looking good, so we decided to go to McDonald's. I never feel bad about eating fast food anymore because we have to walk a mile to get to town, and another mile back home, so I probably burn off most of the calories I eat while I'm there (at least that's what I tell myself). Plus McDonald's has free Wi-fi and we won't have the Internet at the flat for another week, and how many more reasons do you really need to go for a Double Cheeseburger anyway? We pigged out while we registered for our classes and got online banking up and running, then dropped by the pound store (UK's version of the dollar store) to get more hangers before running back home in the light rain to avoid the heavy rain that was sure to follow (ok you're right, we didn't run - it was more like a brisk walk). We could have used the new hangers to continue unpacking, but instead we did another one of the things we do best - vegged out on the couch while watching classic movies like Men in Black.
