The Gas Crisis

So this week I just had to blog about something that is probably on everyone’s minds, the rising gas prices. Now being the nosey person that I am I had to get the inside story which works out great since I happen to work at a gas station part time on the weekends. I always thought that the gas stations had control of hoe much their gas costs. Boy was I wrong. Actually what happens is the manager gets a call from someone down at the “office” every day to let her know what to do with the price that day. I am not sure what oil company owns us but I know that is where the call about the gas price comes from. I can only speculate how high it will get this summer but my inside sources say that it will defiantly hit $4.00 and that is where it is suppose to say with no drop in site. I know that people are already panicking and I do not blame them, all I can say is when will the government step in and draw the line. I know that they are suppose to be giving us a tax rebate to help us out but I think that is only going to temporarily stimulate that economy. If you ask me they should be looking at the stopping the steady rise in gas price as a way to help out the American consumer.

Life's Little Decisions

It is strange to think that with all of the decisions that I have made in my life each one of them has brought me to this point. When I was younger I probably would have never though that way. Here I am though 24 and still going to school and working steady. I thought that I would be done with school by now maybe be married and have already started my career. I always said that I would travel and have some fun and adventures before I had a family. My parents did that before they got married they moved to California for a few years. Up until today I did not think that I would get the chance to do anything like that, but I was wrong. My boyfriend and I might move to Hawaii for a while, for his job. I would jump at the at chance, I mean you only live once and what an adventure. This is only one of a few options right now and nothing is definite but that would be a decision that I think would be something I would always look back on and be glad I did. Even as I am writing this it is crazy to think that sometime this year I could be moving to Hawaii. Don’t worry fellow bloggers out there I will keep you posted on any definite plans!!
