empty pockets

Last night, Nathan & I went out for the evening, and as we drove down Laurens Road, he commented that on our way home, we should stop at Murphy's to fill up since I was down to about 1/4 of a tank, & they always seem to have the lowest prices. Several hours later, as we headed back that direction, I reminded him that he wanted to stop. He didn't want to since it was late, 10:45 or so, & I teased him that he would be mad at himself tomorrow (today) if the gas prices shot up because of the hurricane.

We got home about 10 minutes later & he turned on the tv to get things ready for us to watch what we had recorded while gone (who wants to miss even reruns of The Office?!), & as I was brushing my teeth in the bathroom, he came to tell me that we should have stopped for gas after all...he was watching the 11:00 news & they were saying by this morning, gas would be above $4......it was $3.49 at Murphy's.

I tried to stop myself...but I just couldn't...

"What'd I tell you?!" :)

Needless to say, I'm going to be seeing just exactly how far 1/4 of a tank will get me!
