I refer to my black sweatpants as my formal sweatpants.

Life right now feels like.... well that I'm at the starting line ready to go, but no one has fired the shot to start yet. I'm getting anxious and impatient and... well frustrated! I spent a lot of my time today sitting on my air-mattress in my bedroom that I have barely filled with the essential items I need. Way to be proactive, yes? In my last post I mentioned that I felt like I was stuck in a hole. I've decided to move into my sisters apartment in Anchorage and do some job hunting around town. One job seems very promising and I'm just waiting on the official call saying, "You're Hired!".... but... my phone has been silent today (except for a call from my dad trying to convince me to become a police officer...).  Yep.... waiting... it's great.


On another note - Today was probably one of the most beautiful Alaskan summer day's I had ever seen! It was absolutely perfect   

10:00pm - Windows down and Tom Petty cranked up - 
My drive back to Anchorage was spectacular! I LOVE this state!!

Gas Prices


$4.15 a gallon?! And I've heard it should be $6 a gallon by the end of the summer. Yuck!!!!!! As much as I love my Jeep, I'm really wishing I had something with a bit better gas millage. But I guess it's all about looking at the bright side of things, right?

Bright Side #1: The blue book value of my car just tripled!!! (I filled my gas tank)

Bright Side #2:  There is a new way to lose weight... It's the "I can't afford to buy groceries to feed myself because I just filled my gas tank" diet.

Bright Side #3: well... there are no other bright sides. Unless you are the man that pockets the money from rising gas prices. To you I say... I voodoo cursed every dollar I've paid... have fun with that... you jerk.
