cheap travel

Over the last two months, i have spent a total of $25 on gasoline for my car.  I have traveled to and from work (or other places) at least five times per week and have not filled up my tank since July 5th!  It was pretty weird pulling up to the gas station… i didn’t remember which side my tank was on, and it just felt strange putting gas in my car.

I must say.. i was getting down to the wire.  I had only one gallon left, and even though that would’ve lasted about 25 miles, i just wanted to fill it up to calm my nerves.  Sometimes my car would take a minute to start because it was so low on gas…. uh oh.

But, i am pleased to say that even though my car is old, it is efficient and cheap.  It feels great to know that i spend about $12.50 on gas per month, while everyone else complains about spending so much.  =)

have a good night.  -wil

house update

well, i wanted to wait to take pictures until everything was completely done on our house, but i’ve been ‘bugged’ to show the new siding. here are a couple shots:

we got our futon cover…finally after not receiving it, calling and finding out that they no longer sold the product, and then having them ship it directly from the manufacturer. i was trying to get gracie to “stay” while i took the photo.

so far we have a new color, new gutters, new house number, and no more overhang/storage in our patio. what’s coming? new windows, new portable storage bench (provided by association) in our patio.

and our trusty watchdog, wondering why i am outside without her. (her new favorite spot in the afternoons is right here, or on the stairs, looking out and watching everything and everyone pass by when coming home from their day out.) she’s very easily intrigued.
