My 111-Hour Holiday Weekend

Here’s how I spent the first two hours of my long holiday weekend:

• I spent $3.119 per gallon on regular gas filling up my car at Racetrac. That’s a new all-time record high for me – surpassing the previous record high of $3.099 per gallon set on 4 separate occasions in 2006 and 2007. Luckily I only fill up my car with gas about once every 2½ to 3 weeks. It’s cool to to live and work within 7 miles of each other. Just remember that while gas prices may be at an all-time record high here stateside we are still one of the TOP 10 cheapest countries in the entire world as far as that’s concerned.

• I saw a movie at the Flagship Cinemas 14 here in Homestead for the first time since last September. I saw “One Missed Call” which falls under the category of ‘horrifying bonechilling thriller’. I wasn’t too scared. I was more confused at the plot than I was scared. There were 3 of us in that theatre. The other two giggled occasionally. I was too confused to even giggle.

• I went to McDonald’s after the movie to get myself a large hazelnut iced coffee and two apple pies. It’s the first time that I’ve ever gotten one of their iced coffees. It was refreshingly delicious, and I think that I’ll be back for more in the future.
