Say it with me, “STAYCATION”
Jun 12th, 2008 by prissycook
In Phoenix, it’s all over the new news and I’m not sure if everybody has gotten the memo. GAS PRICES ARE GOING UP. I’ve never paid attention to the actual fuel economy of my car. But this week, I finally decided to pay attention and I set my odometer with this last fill up. 19 mpg.
That doesn’t help my little fledgling green heart, but I do try to car pool, ride the bus or take my bike to work when I can. But, I’m a little freaked out over my fuel economy and gas prices. AND the worst part is that I’m freaked out simply because everybody else is freakin freaked out.
Staycations are the newest trendiest thing. It’s where you take a vacation where you live. I’m lucky that I live in the Phoenix Valley in Arizona. There’s a lot of nice places to stay for your vacation. This weekend, I stayed at the Clarendon It was nice taking a day off from the office, staying at a nice hotel and more than saving on the airfare for travel, it was nice that when the weekend was over that home was only 30 minutes away.
AND on this staycation, I made sure that I was at the computer at 10AM PST to purchase my New Kids on the Block tickets for the October 13 concert in Phoenix. Whoo hoo! See that big smile, that’s 4th row happiness baby!
Stay tuned for more news on NKOTB (if it doesn’t make you too queasy) and for another new term; hypermilers.
