Last night Stephanie and I watched Fool’s Gold. Not a bad movie. It touches on history, which I LOVE, so I liked that movie.
I discovered something I don’t like about Redbox. I HATE it when there’s a line. I don’t mind standing in line, mostly, but when I am at the box, choosing my movie, I HATE having people standing impatiently behind me. Fool’s Gold was kind of an “impulse” buy because the people behind me were making me feel like I needed to hurry. That is one of the few things I don’t like about Redbox. That, and they don’t have nearly enough movies.
On the way home, I stopped to fill my car with gas. Honestly, I was kind of anxious about it. The price has been up for awhile around here, hovering between $3.45 and $3.50/gallon. (Yes, I know that is cheaper than where you live. We’re blessed around here. We often have some of the cheapest gas in the nation. Doesn’t mean I don’t wish it was cheaper!) Anyway, I kept waiting for it to go down, and because of that, by last night the needle on my gas gauge was hovering on the E. Now, I drive a little Civic- a small car with a small tank that gets excellent mileage, a fact for which I am continually thankful. But it’s been quite awhile since I’ve allowed the tank to become so empty, and I was expecting (in fear!!) that it would cost $40 to fill my tank.
I pulled up to a pump at a station selling gas for $3.45/gallon, removed the gas cap, put the nozzle in the tank, and waited. Nervously. Fearfully.
I almost cried when the pump stopped at $26.25 worth of gasoline.
