Holy crap! I'm not going to tell you how much gas I've used since Delaware. Ugh. Math camp was 15 miles from the house, and it lasted 2 weeks! I didn't come home most days, because I didn't want to use more gas than I already was. Just found stuff to do nearby (running).

I think your mom is onto something with this never driving anywhere thing.

Ah, what luck. the two sisters' liked my post. Life don't get any better. Now, if only I had met gael, grace and santino, things would have been better, I imagine!

Yeah, Christy, I can not even imagine how much gas you have/will be going through. Poor thing!!!

So glad you found "stuff" to do - you're so darn creative and imaginative, aren't ya?

j/k

Good job!! I can go about 2 weeks on average but I have gone as much as 3 weeks without getting gas before and that is with driving every day.
