So... I live RIGHT by where I work... SimonDelivers.. a growing online grocery delivery company (comparable to Schwanns I suppose).. so, for the most part, I walk to work when its nice out... Well the brakes on my car started getting reaaaaally bad... so instead of getting them fixed right away I put it off because Ive got everything I need within a block or two of my apartment, so I walk. Well I finally decided, after saving up some money for about a week, that I'd fix my car... so I have my moms boyfriend pick up the parts and I do my brakes... then an old friend called and wanted to hang out last night so I was really excited! So I started up my car and realized I wasnt going to make it all the way out there with an 1/8 of a tank so I went to the gas station, started pumping the gas, and called my friend back to see if she was gonna be ready when i got there... I kept talking to her for awhile until I heard the nozzle click when the car was full... i turned around to see 58.39!!! daaaaaaamnnnn... well, long story short I guess I was trying to get at how rediculous gas prices are... lol... what is it costing where everyone is??? its about 3.45 for regular unleaded up here in the Twin Cities...

Ha ha! Isn't there a sign that says no cell phones at the pump...safety reasons: possible gas explosion...possible heart attack from gas price.
