As long as everything runs fine and the lights aren't dim when the car is running, it's probably not your alternator.

I'd try popping off the battery terminals and cleaning them with a battery post cleaner (wire brush that fits inside on the terminals and inside the wire connectors), and then popping them back on. It sounds like you have a bad connection to the battery.

If that doesn't cure your problem, I'd take it to AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, or Checker/Shucks/Kragen for a charging system diagnostic (they should do it for free).
