Whoo hoo, yippee kay ay!

I just went for my first weigh in since I joined Weight Watchers last week, guess what! I lost 4.2 lbs in a week! Whoo hoo! And I didn't even stick to my points the first few days! AHHHHHHH!

Gas

So, as some people may have noticed, gas prices are dropping, a bit, but every bit is appreciated. So the average gas around my neighborhood is 3.77/gallon. Well, on the road to my friend Sheila's house I know that gas is cheaper, it is 3.56/gallon. So I decided to be one of the patient and line up and wait my turn for the 'cheap' gas. As many of my stories end, it ended up costing me more than it should have.

I was in the line and it was taking everyone forever, so finally it is my turn and I get to the pump and after doing the credit card thing and inserting the pump, I sit back to realize the reason it was taking forever, the damn pump was slow as all get out! So as I sit there numbly staring at the numbers CRAWLING by, I start to realize, wow, for only half a tank I sure seem to be getting a lot in there. As I keep waiting for it to stop, some guy yells 'yo, you're overflowing'. See, I set it up on the automatice handle holder (Whatever the hell those things are called) and whatever little doohickey it is that stops it when it is full apparently was on vacation! So I overflowed and had a nice little puddle under my soaked tire. Great stuff. I wonder how much of what I paid for ended up on the damn floor. Thank god it was going slow at least.

And then I think about how the guy who finally alerted me (thank you!!) was like 3 cars behind me and noone else bothered, and you know everyone was staring wondering when their turn would come! Bastards. Anyway, lesson for the day, watch the tank, not the dollar signs! Lesson learned. Dumb me for expecting technology to be reliable.
