Oh Oh I forgot.  So in protest of the skyrocketing gas prices I have decided only to drive when I really need too.  I live close enough to a grocer, a pet supply store, hardware store, liquor store and drug store, oh and consignment shops, that I can walk.  So I'm figuring this will either save me lots of money or cost me lots of money.  See the local places aren't bargain types.  But, But.... If I have to walk I'm less likely to over buy, since a. I have to drag it back, and b. I'm less likely to head to the store on a whim.
Another benefit is the added exercise.  So I'll be burning calories instead of gas.  Sounds good so far right?  I thinks so.  Tried it out today actually.  Walked to CVS, Donalens, Pet Things and then back to CVS.  I spent a total of $2.45 and burned significantly more calories.  Woot Woot.  We'll see how long this last.  I'm sure the hot summer sun that is coming this way in just a few short weeks ;) has the power to deter.  But, hopefully it will be more than habit by then and I can keep it up.  I'll be sure to keep you posted.    Good night.
