Because Thanksgiving Is The New Halloween
I'm thinking about Labor Day
The stores are ready for Halloween
I'm thinking about Halloween
The stores are ready for Thanksgiving
I'm thinking about Thanksgiving
The stores are so totally about Christmas.
Based on that logic isn't it appropriate I post Halloween pictures when it is almost Thanksgiving?
Enjoy and Happy Halloween , I mean Thanksgiving.

running on empty, life in the 3G world
I have a crazy game I play with myself.
I like to see if i can calculate to the very last mile,
how far I can go without getting gas
of course you see where this is going right?
But when the get gas light goes on, and then off ,
I say- hey no need to get gas
No matter how far below the EEE the indicator is.
Oh and when you are driving home and there is not gas on your route all the more reason to roll the dice.
and when a good part of your ride home is down hill
no problem right?
Except when you run out of gas just when the road is going uphill.
I'm so lucky to have good friends who are willing to bring me gas while my family is not seeing the humor in my gas roulette game.
I'm an island girl now , no need for stress.
So while we waited for gas I made use of my "my touch"
here's a little of what i did...
First I went to ALOQA , and saw that there were 10 gas stations very close by one only 1000 yards away, I was willing to walk there but nobody wanted me to.
also there were 4 starbucks locations , I was willing to get everyone coffee , but no.
I also checked out upcoming entertainment possibilites Gabriel Iglesias:
NOTE TO SELF: MUST BUY TICKETS AND GET GAS
i checked out nearby bars just in case I had to make a run for it and get away from my pissed off family
I tweeted,

I facebooked
My saviour of a friend brought gas,
rather than fight with the hubs about how to start a car , with fuel injection after it is parched I googled it
It was not working so my friend , "phoned a friend" her sister who had been in this situation before.
Her advice was to rock the car because we had to get the ittly bitty bit of gas into the system so here we are,
my friend jumping up and down on the bumper, me rocking it side to side .
Still no luck, but we were lauging our AO!
The boy suggested we roll the car down the hill because we were on an incline
We did
and it worked.
Got to love the boy
and the friend
and the family for putting up with my game of
GAS ROULETTE!

The Picture Says it All
The girl is working on mastering the art of the self portrait, 3008 style.
Digital camera , frequently while we're driving somewhere.
It's good for the wind blown hair effect.
Her photogenic genes do not come from me.
I have problems keeping my eyes open when someone says cheese.
I've been know to eat pizza with my eyes closed that's how bad it is.
Taking pictures while in the car is also good for singing your favorite song just to get you in that rock star mood.
Photo booth on your Mac works well too, if your not in the car or your camera needs charging.
Here's her favorite look of late she calls it nerdy. She's a girl with many sides.
Here's what happens when I'm on the other side of the camera. Now that's not fair is it?
/>
Here's her wild side..."I'll eat you up."
Now this picture is priceless.. If you know the girl that is.
Here we are trying to figure it all out she's complicated,
But in the words of the monsters from "Where The Wild Things Are" I'm sure when it's time I'll say:
"Please don't go I'll eat you up, I love you so."
