depressing...

1. isn't this funny, but not really so funny? this picture TOTALLY captures how i feel every time i drive by a gas station. i had a minor freak-out yesterday when i pulled into one that listed regular for $4.15 a gallon! WHAT??? we are trying not to spend money from our checking account so that it will balance and we can be sure we have what we think we have (i know i'm long winded...its just how i am!).......... SO i was avoiding going to costco to get gas (they only take debit)...i promptly turned my car around...waited in 15 minutes of traffic to get into the costco parking lot and another 10 in line but i got gas for $3.67 a gallon. Such a steal, right? is our country going to be able to handle this? i am nervous...i think i need to start taking the bus...

2. grant is in indianapolis for the national ACSM conference...i'm VERY jealous that he is there and i am here. he gets to see all our friends! i'm happy for him though...he got to go on the department's dime because he got the ACSM Foundation Grant! i'm so very proud of him (he got two other awards too...the little stud!)
