Looking Happy
I've said it before but I have to say it again - I love my little car. I had to make a quick run to the store and back because, well, sometimes you just forget to get everything. It was always a groan inducing moment when you realize that you forgot that one important ingredient. What made it worse was the waste of gas to go get it. I still mentally kicked myself for forgetting the buns but it wasn't accompanied by the teeth grinding of the past. I was able to zip to the store and only spent 4 cents in gasoline!!
Here is a little poem using the Laziest Summer Scavenger Hunt prompt #56 - swing. I have to apologize for missing yesterday but it was a late night and an early morning with getting my mother packed and to the airport - no time for blogging. But I'm back!
There’s more than one way
To swing a cat
Or skin it as a matter of fact
There’s a wrong and my way
When you’re up to that
A tricky animal is a cat
Do it the right way
To avoid a spat
Of all claws and hissing cat
On second thought walk away
Set out bowls and leave the brat

At my house, wieners go bunless at 2:50 AM.
Hehe! When you can't sleep because the lack of buns for the next days big dinner get together is weighing on your mind - the sure fix is to just go get the buns! Meijer is open and not crowded at that time...
@saintvi: lol.agree; they would get a slice of bread to sit on.
It was for a party and I was sleepless as well as bunless... I suppose it is my OCD running amok.
I was thinking about your car and gas mileage the other day. My truck has "improved" to a whopping 17 mpg.
While I'm at an advantage because the evil, evil fracking is keeping gas prices down; I do look forward to one day having a more fuel efficient vehicle.
I thought you were going to get an Elio... I still want one but the threat of snow has me hesitating. Still and average 84 mpg is impressive!
I like that your car calculates all that. I miss my blazer that had weather and direction I was heading on it. My pt cruiser has none of that, but since it gets horrible gas mileage, maybe I wouldn't want to see it each trip after all. I took my son to Tallahassee yesterday, and with round trip I put $32 into the tank!
Yikes! $32 is a huge chunk of money. I fill up about every 18 days unless I travel. I filled up once when I went to Muncie - so only about $15 total...
I sometimes eat cold hot dogs without bun and know my wife is not watching.
Hehe! You are so sneaky and such a rebel!!
What makes me groan is when I drive into town and realize I have forgotten my list!
Yikes that is the worst! I had my list and dropped it the other day - had to retrace my steps and luckily found it!
2,1 miles = One hour of walk for the least ,for me now !! The car makes us loose the sense of the distances !!
Love

I probably don't walk much faster than you do! I wouldn't mind walking to the store but trying to carry everything back would be awful!!
