Running on Empty

The other day I noticed that my gas tank in my car was getting pretty close to empty.  I didn't have time to get gas for another couple days so I went from school out to my work (roughly 25 min drive) and was just praying I wouldn't run out of gas!

I started to wonder, what would happen if I just suddenly run out of gas?  My car would just stop?  Like in the middle of the road? Or what?  I didn't really want to find out.  I got to work just fine and went to the gas station across the street to fill up.

Somehow I was literally running on empty. 
Here's the proof.

Not too fond of the panicky feeling.

So just be careful when running on empty, in any sense, whether it's not putting gas in your car,  fuel in your body or spirit.  You'll only get so far before beginning to fall apart!

Ch-ch-ch-changes

What was that candy Willy Wonka invented that kept changing colors?  Was it the gobstopper.....? Eh, I can't remember.  But anyway...Behold! A new header/layout.  Just in case you haven't noticed, my indecisiveness about my blog layout is pretty much a direct reflection of my indecisiveness in general. 

Notice my new header (I have to brag ok because it took me forever and a half to make).  I downloaded the GIMP image editing software and was playing around on it.  Yes, I realize it is kind of ugly.  Gimme a break!  It's similar to PhotoShop in nature and functionality (except for GIMP is free) and I haven't used PhotoShop is ages......so this is the best it's gonna get for now.

What a deal!

I went to the dollar store the other night and got all this for $24 plus tax!  I love the dollar store!

This was a gift for my friend's bridal shower.  What can I say?  I'm a practical girl.  Sure, other gifts might be more fun....but I figure these are the "little things" that are useful and maybe get forgotten by newlyweds.

Hooray for the dollar store!!!!  Here you will find everything for your household cleaning needs...

Notice the body wash/sponge and front and center...a pregnancy test (who knows if it actually works! I mean....it was only a dollar!)  I originally wanted to sneak in a hideous thong or something to jazz things up but sadly they had nothing but grandma underwear at the dollar store.  Then while at the checkout, my boyfriend spotted the preggo test and suggested I get that.  I was like "uhhhhhhh........OK!"

At the party we were invited to give some advice to the happy couple.  Mine was written on the card.

Here's the cute bride-to-be!
