I went to the Gas station this morning and put in $10; all kidding aside, I'm quite certain my van rolled its eyes at me...

$10 would get a little over 2 gallons here. Sad commentary on the world - but at least we still have a sense of humor!!
Travel light. The baggage of the past can only hold you back.
Decluttering isn't just simplifying your life. It's having a vision, setting new priorities and using those notions to get rid of obstacles.

We bought gas for the truck the other day, too. Almost $100.
It's been dropping slightly lately though.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

LOL No van Debbie, a repost of someone else's joke. Thought it was funny because I swear my car rolls it's eyes too! My DH waits until it's sucking fumes in hopes that he'll catch the pump prices lower from morning to evening. Then I barely roll in and pump $10 in the tank and I'm positive the car is saying REALLY?

Yeah, how long does it take to pump $10 worth these days? Don't blink or you'll miss it.
